MAY 2023 - Drone showreel show some of my filming work as a drone operator, drone pilot while aerial filming in Scotland during the winter months:)
Had a few days spare so thought I’d edit up a wee drone showreel of the past few winters for you to see. Summer one coming later:)
'Winter in the Scottish highlands' is a drone showreel from the past winter seasons around Scotland filming.
This was filmed mainly on the Mavic 2 pro DJI Drone and sometimes the DJI Inspire 2 drone with X7 Camera. All filmed by myself Kirk Watson. I am a qualified drone pilot, drone operator or aerial cinematographer living in the Scottish Highlands.
Music is from https://www.belugalagoon.com the track is called 'King of the Cold'
