Fuerteventura | a solo travel film - DJI Mavic 2 pro
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Of the seven Spanish Canary Islands off the coast of North Africa, Fuerteventura is the second largest. There are a few stories about how the island got its name, from a reference to the likelihood of escaping the dangerous ocean turbulence to the good luck gained from being on the island. Drone pilot Paride Musci found his own good fortune while spending a solo week armed with a DJI Mavic Pro 2, a Go Pro Hero 5, and a good eye for amazing shots; the result is this stunning travel video of the island.

I beginned drone piloting and video making this year, with a Mavic Air and without any experience. My first videos were very naïf, but I'm very proud of my growth and I'd like to keep progressing that way next year. My only regret is that I could apply more on photography and video making study; a first good point for 2019 good intentions list! I spent a week in early December in Fuerteventura, all alone. It hasn't been easy to make this video, and I dedicated the whole trip to it. I had the weather by my side, sunny days and not too windy, and an island which is not full of tourists in the off-season. I had to plan the visit of the various points of interest, based on the available days. In order to film with the drone without meeting people, I've had to come back several times on some places, and often to get up early to anticipate bathers and take advantage of the colors of sunrises and sunsets. Indescribable emotions have accompanied this experience of mine. I found myself admiring lunar landscapes, discovering villages in nothingness, stretches of inviolate sand, volcanic earth and craters, cliffs, wonderful windmills, beautiful lighthouses and impetuous waves. This is my way of traveling, and with these images, I hope you can relive with me this adventure in this wonderful land.
