This lecture teaches you how to set up perhaps the most basic yet oftentimes the most striking shot known as the Flyby. Sure you can fly this shot manually with the sticks in P-mode, but you will not always get a smooth, consistent cinematic shot. With the help of the Litchi app you will be guaranteed a brilliant consistent and smooth Flyby shot everytime. The Flyby makes a great opening shot for your production. This lecture will teach you how to safely and quickly set up the Flyby.

I will take you through the Litchi app step by step and explain to you exactly how everything works and how to master the Waypoint mode to achieve the perfect Flyby.

Here we get to review the Flyby in all its glory after editing it on Adobe Premier Pro 9.

By now you should have some familiarity with the Litchi app and Ground station mode. In this lecture I will show you how to add a POI (point of interest) to a mission and to select the correct Gimbal mode and heading to achieve a super smooth POI Flyby shot.

Here we will look at what the Litchi app looks like when the shot is being executed. I will show you the key items to focus on to help you understand this shot better.

This is where we get to see the final footage of the PPI Flyby and to assess how well the Litchi app managed the shot. A bit of editing has been done in Adobe Premier 9 CC.

The Advanced POI Flyby has more complexity in the shot to give a more sophisticated result. Here we show you how to use more then 2 waypoints, to create tight smooth turns and to explore changes in altitude to create a beautiful cinematic shot.

A recent use of this shot was done in a very special location in South Africa called Cloud 9 - see links below.

We show you step by step how to set up this Advanced POI Flyby shot. Some useful tips are also given especially around how to ensure proper gimbal pitch when using a higher altitude above a subject matter close by.

Here we examine what the shot looks like when executing it on the Litchi app in air.

Here we take a look at the final shot and talk through the various set up decisions we made which gave us a great result in the end.

The Orbit is a classic shot that up until now has been virtually impossible to fly. But, with the advent of autopilot like the Litchi app this shot can be easily and quickly set up at home and flawlessly executed on the field to give you super smooth cinematic footage for your project.

I will show you step by step on how to create this shot on Litchi app. I will discuss an auto versus manual version giving you flexibility and options for when you execute the shot.

Finally we will review an edited version of the Orbit.

The Forward Reveal is an absolute classic shot that is often used as an establishing shot at the beginning of a scene. Learn how to set up and run this shot in full autopilot for pro smooth results.

I will teach you how to set up this special kind of mission in the air by using custom keys as well as interpolate - all to achieve this classic shot. I will then show you how this shot appears on the Litchi app when being executed in the air.

Here we go through the Forward Reveal and I will show you how to make it look even better in post production by adjusting the starting point and speeding it up a little.

A spectacular shot that reveals a subject whilst moving away. Oftentimes used with architecture.

There are a few ways to create this shot, for example it can be done with a POI. However we will show you how to do this using the same Frame to frame method we used for the Forward Reveal.

Here we take a look at the Backwards Reveal after some editing. This is a simple yet powerful shot and is excellent for buildings and architecture.

This method allows you to set up the Reveal with a single click of the C1 button and employs Focus mode.
