When DJI asked us to show what the new DJI Mavic 3 was capable of,
we needed to choose the right locations for it.
The idea was to capture several different elements.
Nature, with wild animals in it, mountain scenery, oceans, traditional architecture,
and modern cityscapes with skyscrapers made of glass and concrete.
I was happy about the possibility of shooting at 120fps
because sometimes the scene changes really fast,
and the normal speed of filming (25fps or 50fps) is not enough for the viewer to see all the details.
Now, with 120fps available,
it is possible to film water or moving waves in an interesting way.
I like the way it flies and how stable and easy to control it really is.
You don't have to be a professional pilot to fly this drone and understand its features.
I'm really excited about DJI Mavic 3's flight time.
It's really convenient because you don't need to carry a bunch of batteries anymore.
I have always cared about image quality,
and I am really happy with the image quality DJI Mavic 3 provides.
Images are now sharper and larger, and there's more flexibility there.
DJI Mavic 3 can even detect small objects that are traditionally very difficult to avoid.
When I first saw DJI Mavic 3 specifications without seeing the drone itself,
I got most excited about ProRes.
There is simply no other drone this small with a camera that can shoot in ProRes.
It's an uncompressed format that allows you to work deeper with colors and details.
The most memorable shot we got is the one with the whale
because we had to wait for a long time.
It's not easy when in just a short amount of time,
you need to find the whale,
take off fast,
fly to the necessary spot, frame it correctly, and film the movement.
I enjoyed shooting in Cappadocia.
We were filming hot air balloons at dawn.
I really like this kind of lighting when you have cool colors in the shade,
but at the same time, there is warm light from the balloons,
so the images turned out great.
Shots we got in Kamchatka are quite unusual.
They remind me of abstract art when you can't identify what it is,
but it's really interesting to look at because of its texture, light, and color.
I think we managed to experiment a bit here.
A drone is the main tool for me today because it gives me creative freedom
and allows new angles that were not possible before.
I think it brings endless possibilities for what we can capture and create.
