My good friends over at Birkholm’s water ski school in South Lake Tahoe asked me shoot some Aerial footage for their business promo video. We wanted to capture unique camera angles showing water sports action and the beauty of Lake Tahoe. I was really excited and nervous for the opportunity to fly my drone completely over water. I knew the potential to get some really cool footage, but also the risk involved. We used two boats for this shoot, one for the water skiers and one for me to film from. I used a DJI Phantom 2 drone with a GoPro Hero 3+ to shoot the aerials. This is a great setup, small, light, and quick to get into the air. We shot over the course of two mornings and I think we nailed some pretty cool shots. Check out the quick B-Roll below with some of the select footage and stay tuned for the finished promo video.
