This is an overview of what will be covered in this course.
A beautiful cinematic shot used when approaching a subject
The classic pan has always been tricky to achieve with the yaw stick on the Phantom controller. Now with autopilot you will learn how to get a smooth beautiful pan the first time and everytime
Learn from 2 methods on how to set up the Selfie. You will learn the planned method on groundstation and the on the fly method for when you are feeling spontaneous!
An unsual and cinematic way for approaching a subject from below and then flyig over that subject. Feel like a bird!
Understand the principles of heading & rotation. Apply these principle to setting up missions & to get best results.
Learn the different Gimbal modes & gain a proper understanding of Focus POI versus Interpolate.
This lecture demonstrates fast & effective color correction techniques on Adobe Premier to get the best results when shooting with the recommended pro settings.
Aerial video brings about unique exposure issues typically with the sky area above the horizon. Learn a mask technique on how to correct this and get the best results.
Learn how to perform a perfect Rise shot, which is essentially a vertical ascent. We will cover 4 variations being:
- Basic rise
- Rise & lookdown twist
- Rise & pan
- Rise reveal
Done on autopilot the Rise is executed smoothly and professionally and can be a great shot for any project.
A simple yet powerful shot, using a constant heading and gimbal pitch.
A rise with a twist! With the gimbal set to -90 and the heading rotating 180 degrees this makes for an interesting abstract shot.
Smooth and classic combination of a rise with a beautiful smooth pan.
This is a sophisticated shot combining the mystery of a reveal with a rotation and climb all in one!
Learn how to use legacy mode on Android in Litchi for more stable panoramas in windy conditions, enabling manual above-horizon shots with two rows and eight to ten photos.
learn to post-process 360 panos using Adobe Bridge and Lightroom, applying global and local edits (white balance, exposure, contrast, detail, lens correction), manage join lines, and export ready files.
Master a general stitching workflow in PTGui, fix stitch errors with masking and control points, adjust center points and projections to create 360 panoramas and little planet outputs.
Stitch a 360 panorama with the free MS ICE method, export the image, adjust canvas size to half width, fix sky, apply metadata with exif pilot, and post to Facebook.
Identify control point failures in PTGui and fix them by selecting common features across adjacent images, then manually add points when automatic detection fails with moving subjects.
Maximize phantom battery life with tips to fully charge within 24 hours, rely on voltage as the true indicator, and land with 30–35% before storing at 35–50%.

"I just started Phantom Filmschool 2 this morning but had to stop after only the first two lessons to come here and say how awesome this course is! I learned more about flying my phantom in a few minutes- just in these first lessons about heading and gimbal pitch- then I have since flying and searching online the past 9 months. Just the investment of time it would have taken to find this information on my own is by far much greater and, in monetary comparison, WELL worthy every penny I paid for the course! Excellent work"

"This filmschool course 2 is a great add-on to the filmschool 1 both are amazing. The filmschool 2 teaches you how to do color grading in your videos and also you will teach how to do panorama 360 spherical and the possibility to send them to youtube, vimeo and others. if you Learnt from number one like I did you will love this new course, its so amazing. "

"The first phase of Phantom Filmschool was excellent, But Laurence Seberini has outdone himself in Phantom Filmschool 2. Clear and concise information on how to take great video with the Litchi app. Great job and I hope Laurence produces more."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This course builds on from everything taught in Phantom Filmschool 1 and you will learn even more skills and methods to get amazing footage from your drone.
The course begins with some in depth theory lectures on Heading, Rotation and Gimbal Pitch modes. Then we go into video editing specifically for aerial video and tackle color correction and exposure correction for those above the horizon bright areas. We have 5 new killer shots and then end off with the easy way to create edit and publish 360 pano's or photospheres.
After completing this course you will have new knowledge and skills giving you a greater level of confidence when flying and shooting video. Your audience will be blown away by your awesome pro cinematic shots which will look beautiful and well edited. You will also get more quality footage per battery and fly with a greater degree of safety saving your self hundreds of wasted dollars in repairs.
Here is the curriculum
- The theory of Heading, Rotation and Gimbal Pitch modes such as interpolate (useful concepts for mastering autopilot)
- Video editing for aerial: color correction & handling exposure issues specific to aerial video
- The Rise : Basic Rise, Lookdown Twist, Rise and Pan and Rise and Reveal (4 shots in this 1 shot)
- The Lookdown approach (a beautiful new approach shot)
- The Pan (overcome the challenge of trying to do a smooth yaw manually with the left stick - just use autopilot)
- The Selfie (as seen on the Solo - 2 methods to setting up with awesome shot)
- The Up and Over (a new shot aimed at rising above tall subjects like buildings, trees etc)
- How to create, edit and publish a Photosphere/360 Pano (the easy way to do this)
- The Pullback shot: an amazing shot that draws your viewers right in and gets them to say "wow"
- Aerial virtual tours: you can create an aerial 360 pano, but don't stop there: create a bunch of them together and join them together as an aerial tour. Add some voice over and its a guided aerial tour. I will teach you how!
You have a DJI Phantom 3 which is brilliant piece of technology. Come join this course and use your Phantom to create stunning pro cinematic video!
After this course you will take to the skies with your drone with confidence and the necessary skill set to shoot awesome pro footage!
