AGWS 24 – Golfing at Phalen Park (St. Paul, MN)

Anyone who has been following this blog (or my instagram) for the past summer, I have spent a lot of time this year recording drone footage. Wanting to expand my knowledge on film making, I began researching and learning how to record and edit quality videos on a budget. In addition to the drone (DJI Mini) that was purchased earlier this year, I recently just bought a Gimbal (DJI OM 4). For those of you that do not know, a Gimbal is simply a device that will allow for level video shots to be taken. The smooth movement and level frames elevate normal footage to a more professional level.

Recently, my friends and I played what is most likely going to be our last round of golf of the year (given the brutal winter climate in Minnesota). Just over a week ago, we had 7 inches of snow so that fact that we were able to get in one last round was great! On the back 9 of this round, I experimented with the gimbal and see what it is like to record video shots while playing golf. This exercise was simply a practice round for better video ideas that I have. The plan is to continue growing my film making skills so that I can execute the ideas that I have at a higher level next summer.

Below is the new video that resulted from that last round of golf. I through the shots together to some generic lo-fi hip hop style beat and the end result was a quick, fun and entertaining video. I hope you enjoy the video.
