Donald Davis

"This course is great, After applying the principles that I learned in this course, my videos for my Phantom 3 are 100 % better. Cant wait to finish, and take Phantom Filmschool 2 "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walter Smith

"This course was more than I ever expected. I've been flying a Phantom for 3 years and learned more from this course than from 3 years of searching YouTube, joining forums and reading books. I am a new Litchi user and this course has opened my eyes so much. I'm like a little kid in the candy store waiting for each new lecture and the Resources/charts/PDFs what a bonus. I would give you 10 stars if that rating were available."

David Thomas

"Very well done. Great examples. Well organized. Informative. Instructor does an excellent job explaining concepts and providing demos."

**This course is for anyone with a Mavic, Phantom 3/4 or Inspire**

This course will teach you how to use the Litchi app to shoot pro cinematic footage with the help of autopilot on your DJI  Mavic, Phantom 3/4 & Inspire quadcopter or drone. Up until now you would need a 2 person rig (camera man and pilot) to do these shots flawlessly such as the Inspire 1 or the S1000.

I will teach you how to set up and execute the following 8 automatic shots:

- the Flyby

- the POI (Point of interest) Flyby

- the advanced POI Flyby

- the Orbit (You'll love this one)

- the Forwards Reveal (The safer one)

- the Backwards Reveal

- the Corkscrew

- Course lock

We will go in depth into the Litchi Hub, how to Frame a subject and the Litchi app and camera settings with emphasis on aerial videography Golden Rules.

You will be able to apply these shots to almost any situation and your ability to shoot awesome cineamtic footage will skyrocket after this course.

You will also have a thorough understanding of the Phantom camera and be able to choose the settings that deliver the best results (Android app only). From now on videography on a drone will be professional, smooth and cinematic.

After this course you will take to the skies with your drone with confidence and the necessary skill set to shoot awesome pro footage!

Senior instructor on aerial videography and photography

Laurence Seberini

I am like you, passionate about drones and the awesome videos and photo's that you can take with them. And like you I also got frustrated with using a single remote controller and not being able to get the shots like the pro's. Then I discovered Litchi and once I figured out how to get pro shots easily I created Phantom Filmschool and shared this knowledge. To date there are over 30 000 students worldwide who have taken the various Phantom Filmschool courses and the feedback has been very positive. I hope you get the most out of it.

Although I have just entered the world of drone imaging and am on a steep learning curve, I think the best investment other than the drone itself has been on your excellent filmschool courses. Litchi is truly powerful yet relatively simple to use and is covered very well throughout the course syllabus. It's flight modes are a class above the manufacturers own offering. Looking forward to learning more and honing my skills, Best regards, Declan Burke

I have to say that I started with the free stuff about Litchi. I was hooked and moved on from there. I really love that smooth, non exaggerated style that Laurence has. I've learned that you listen once all the way through the course and then go back and listen again making notes about what's important to you. I've had a few questions along the way - even about stuff not covered or stuff I didn't sign up for - and I got FAST, personal responses with perfect info. He's so good, I asked him to come to America and do some in-person courses here. (No promises.) But if he comes to the US, I'll be there. If he has a course covering what you need, go no further. This guy is the real deal; no BS, no stories about how great he is.. just great course material.

Excellent course on flying with Litchi. I have flown drones for several years but never used Litchi before and had to be ready to use it for a client with very little time to figure it all out. The Phantom courses are are very well laid out and allowed me to quickly focus on the sections I needed to learn. Well worth the investment.

These videos detail techniques for shooting compelling video using Litchi. Techniques are introduced, the user is guided on how to set the shot up using the Litchi interface for IOS and Android, and the flight program is shown executing. Finally, the end result is shown. The description of the steps to accomplish a shot is through and generally full of tips & tricks. The reasons why you would want to employ a particular technique are presented along with the technical details of how to accomplish it. It's a good balance between the nerdy details and the artistic, cinematographic process. A really helpful aspect for me is the thorough explanation of the various settings on the camera, aircraft, and Litchi app. The video does repeat itself at times, but the information is appropriate and bears repeating. This course is well worth the money.

I operate an Inspire 1 pro with X5 mostly and I have just bought the Mavic Pro Also have an s900 and other craft but Litchi will not operate on these. The camera on the Mavic has its limitations but great fun and amazing advance on the technology front, what a tool it would be with a better camera. I have as yet only purchased the first course but if you want to get some great Litchi advice and filming techniques this is for you. I think I will probably buy the full suite in the not too distant future. A final personal note Laurence and I have had a few emails he seems a really nice guy and has put a lot of time and effort into these courses, good job and thanks. Tom Milne Aberdeenshire Scotland

Although I've not yet completed the course it's transformed my aerial photos and videos. Laurence is a Litchi genius and the course is structured in a way that is easy to repeat and understand if you don't take it all in the first time. It's also helped turn my hobby into a passion and something I hope to do commercially in the future.

After completing your Phantom Film-school 1 – Master autopilot with Litchi, it was nothing but fantastic. I am a new Litchi user and these courses are extremely well done. It has provided the confidence to start using litchi with the knowledge to enjoy the app and have fun. At the age of 74, your courses have provided me with new challenges and the ability to confidently not only use waypoint but several other automatic shots. I highly recommend these courses to all Litchi users. Your added bonus of resources and downloadable charts were fantastic and really added tremendous value. Looking forward to completing the other courses. Tom Davenport
