Slow down and relax for a few minutes. Relaxing music plays over a gentle drone flight over some glorious Autumnal Cyprus countryside. In this clip we are flying over the Diarizos countryside, near the abandoned village of Souskiou.
Put your feet in a bucket of hot water and pretend you are in a spa!

Beautiful, Thank you. What a good quality of the video and nice relaxing soundtrack. Very enjoyable on full screen 42 inch in 720p...

Amazing video. I could have enjoyed it even without the music but that made it the pièce de résistance
Re: Relaxing Cyprus - Diarizos
Glad you liked it. Drone footage can be a dilemma as the expected norm is to break it down in to small chunks so as to keep the interest of the fickle viewer. But I don't like that kind of footage myself. I find it annoying when the scene changes just when I am getting familiar with the landscape. So I figured I would take the opposite approach, and record long sequences at 50 frames per second. I can then double the playlength, so a 3 minute clip takes 6 minutes etc. By adding some nice relaxing music it ensures that nobody then moans about the clips being too long.
And I can use little bits of the same footage for regular films too. So it is win win!
And there will be a similar one of Souskiou soon Max, and Trozena, and the Blue Lagoon, and Aphrodite's Beach, and...

Youtube wouldn't let me use a copyrighted piece without a license. You would be amazed at how good they are at detecting copyrighted stuff, too.

It's amazing how smooth the motion is. Does it require any post-processing to appear that way?
Re: Relaxing Cyprus - Diarizos
It was filmed at 50fps, and processed at 25fps, so it is in effect going at half speed. Had I filmed at 25 fps and played back at half speed it would be jerky.
To see the "real-time" version, just speed up the video in youtube. Remember to turn it back down again afterwards, as that setting continues from video to video!
It was a pretty smooth flight, with very little wind. Most importantly though, I was filming with a view to play it back at half speed, so was making sure I did movements etc very slowly.
