Western Railroad Discussion > Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont HillDate: 08/11/14 22:17 Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: gjc West bound intermodal near mile post 552.7 around 3:30pm yesterday. At 29mph the train is going much too fast for the quad copter to do a "clean" pull away.

Marty Bernard Date: 08/11/14 23:28 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: mtnwestrail I think the brilliance in your drone videos is the use of the track side sound. I am sure it takes some time in the post processing, but the final result is well worth it.

Of note for the trailer fan, you caught a very rare Canadian "Hyndman Transport" trailer at 1:32. This company was bought out by Celedon in 2013, which is a company heavily used by UP. Date: 08/12/14 05:49 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: ns1000 NICE video!!!
Date: 08/12/14 06:22 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: DaveL Hooray, finally a lens other than a fish-eye !!!!
Excellent mix of ground and airborne clips. DaveL Date: 08/12/14 06:45 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: skyview Yes great job mixing air, ground and sound.
Which platform did you purchase? Thanks. Date: 08/12/14 06:57 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: mapboy A lot of work but well worth it! Great with the sound, nice varied angles. With those TPIX Tropicana reefers it indicates the ZATLC from Atlanta. Too bad it didn't have a CSX locomotive, fairly common for that train.
mapboy Date: 08/12/14 07:28 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: Cajon92 Great video, George. You sure are getting some impressive videos with LCRV's eye in the sky! Thanks for sharing another great video clip.
~Ryan Date: 08/12/14 07:49 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: ButteStBrakeman Just a question: I take it that San Tim canyon is now double track? When I last worked the canyon it was 2 main tracks.
V SLOCONDR PS: GREAT video, George!!!!! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/12/14 07:49 by SLOCONDR. Date: 08/12/14 08:10 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: engrbill47 George:
Great video. Is you drone capable of lifting a directional mike a few feet below the camera? That might make post production of the sound a little easier. Just a thought. William Jeffers, P.E. San Dimas, CA Date: 08/12/14 08:12 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: hotrail DaveL Wrote:

Overall much more interesting than the straight drone video. Date: 08/12/14 08:45 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: CPRR I liked it a lot.
It is to bad that they a slowly building houses in the canyon. Date: 08/12/14 09:44 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: gjc engrbill47 Wrote:

My ground camcorders pick up the buzzing too. I have to fly a ways away and at least 30-40ft high from my ground camcorders so I don't get the buzzing in the ground shots. The buzzing is really loud. George Cataulin San Diego, CA Left Coast Rail Videos Date: 08/12/14 10:06 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: cchan006 That was awesome, George!
I can hear the "buzz" of the drone in the distance right at the beginning, which isn't a criticism. but to me, adds realism, especially with your great editing. Wish you got some pool power for the Tropicana Z! FYI, I'm doing a little "retro-computing" project right now, and used your video to see how older Macs play it. If there are Mac users who want smoother playback without needing to download this great video, let me know. With George's permission, I can repost it on my personal web space here on TO and use it as a test case. Date: 08/12/14 10:46 Re: Drone Foaming El Casco Beaumont Hill Author: goneon66 SLOCONDR Wrote:

Enjoyed it immensely. I especially like the ground level shots along with the aerial shots!
