The web have been sizzling with Kaveret’s drone footage of a bride walking the aisle. It is a gorgeous cinematic footage of a wedding at Pelican hill at Newport beach, California. The footage was taken using a Phantom 4 and it is quite different from any drone wedding video you have seen to date. We sat down with Adam Rubin, Kaveret’s CEO and drone operator to break this shot down.

Filming The Walk

Adam tells DIYP that this was not a trivial shot, and that there was a few factors contributing to the complexity of the shot. I tend to agree, and while Adam will probably never admit it, this scene can be easily connected to the Goodfellas Copacabana long steadicam shot which again sets the narrative of the story to revolve around Ray Liotta. The other issue that Adam had to deal with is that the walk was not scripted or orchestrated by him, and while the general flow of the walk was pretty obvious, the timing of it was not planned. Adam says, that while he had the camera movements script built, he still had to be alert and adjust according to what was actually going on.

About Noise

We asked Adam about the issue of motor noise. Adam tells us that between the height of the Phantom and the 4 monitors  the noise was barely noticeable.

Cinematographic breakdown

Adam says that Adam was kind enough to provide a movement by movement breakdown exclusively for DIYP
