[OSM-talk] experimental video of the lake Lac de Salanfe for the OSM & Wikidata

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Good afternoon,

I filmed a short, 8:25, 4K video [1] of the lake Lac de Salanfe [2] last 
weekend for its Wikidata page [3].

For the first time I used a 3D flying while filming an aerial footage. 
It starts at 6:33. The difference with usual aerial filming is that a 
quad moves not just on a flat plane in the air with a constant altitude, 
but in three dimensions.

The idea is to fly following a relief of an geographical area and by 
this creating its three-dimensional representation for including it as a 
part of a video.

This lake is located at an elevation of 1925 m, so the air is a bit 
rarefied. The quad which I used weighs less than 500 grams. It has got a 
modular design. I plan to upgrade some of its components, especially 
switching to the digital ESCs, so that the aerial footage would be 
smoother. This time it was just an experiment.

It is possible to view the same video on Youtube [4] too.
