March 20, 2018 in the wake of a tragedy, a community comes together to be there for the students and staff of Great Mills High School. I was inspired to do something for the community after seeing the support on social media. I wanted to share the outpouring love from the community to the students, the staff, and to those who were affected.

I’ve never worked on a solo project like this before. A documentary style video where I had to interview people on camera. I didn’t know how this would turn out. I didn’t know if I would be able to put something together. I was unsure about a lot of things when it came to this project, but one thing I was sure about is that I wanted to give back and do something that would put a smile to people’s faces. I kept the students and staff in my mind throughout the whole process and that really helped me continue to push through.

As a filmmaker, figuring out what to include in the video is always a challenge for any video that you create. After some time, I was able to generate a list of ways people have shown their support. This was created based on what I saw on Facebook and what events were referred to me by people from the community. I began contacting those who organized such events and scheduling a time to sit down to film their story. When the project was complete, I understood that I could not include everything. There were events or people that were not included in the film simply because I did not know or hear about it. Some people didn’t respond to me when I reached out to them. The ones included in this film should not be put above anyone else. That was not the intention of this film. All the support that was put together whether big or small were greatly appreciated by the students and staff. If I had it my way, I would’ve love to include everyone!

“I was unsure about a lot of things when it came to this project, but one thing I was sure about is that I wanted to give back and do something that would put a smile to people’s faces.”

June 1, 2018 was the day I decided to publicly release the film. The seniors at Great Mills High School were graduating that day. I figured, what a great gift it be for them! I was nervous about the release and didn’t know how the community would react. I didn’t anticipate the exposure that it may get. I can recall that day. I scheduled a 9:00 AM EST release of the video on Facebook. Early that morning I drove up the road to be part of a photo shoot for a major movie (this can be a blog post on its own, but I can’t say what it is). Let’s just say you may or may not have seen me (really my leg) in a major character (celebrity) reveal for this particular movie. That day I was away from my phone from morning till the late afternoon when the photo shoot was complete. Since the film was released in the morning, I was shocked to see the overwhelming response the video had within a few hours! I was taken back to see the kind messages from so many people. Then I remember thinking about those times about whether or not I would be able to pull something like this together. I took a deep breath and smiled. I did it.

Sometimes you have to continue pushing through even when you are unsure. If your heart is in the right place, somehow some way it will work out.

I am truly grateful to all of those that gave me their time to make this possible. A big thanks to Dr. Heibel, principal of GMHS who was a big supporter of the film, those who agreed to sit down with me, and to all of you in the community that gave your heart to those who needed it. As the community moves forward in this healing process, I hope this film continues pushing us in the right direction. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you SoMD! We are Great Mills! #hornetstrong

It was a beautiful day and it has been kind of a tradition to fly kites. We still have a kite that got stuck in one of the trees from a couple of years ago! It is always an awesome scene to see everyone in our front yard from kids to adults flying  kites. Unfortunately, the wind wasn’t as great as it has been in the past, but as you’ll see in the video, the kids had a fun time running around with the kites. I truly enjoy this celebration, because we make time to sing and praise God first. Like who does that at a party???? We do!!! Regardless if our guests are religious or not, it’s a fun time for everyone. There are kids playing basketball and others that are playing games like ladder ball or bean toss. A new activity was added to this year. Line dancing… The guest seemed to enjoy doing this and I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes a tradition. All in all it was a wonderful day to celebrate Easter with all of our friends and family.

The post Happy Easter! appeared first on Maryland Drone UAS Aerial Photography, Video, Film, Livestream, Weddings, Inspections | FAA Certified.

I still remember filming this day like it was yesterday. After the DMV was hit with what was dubbed as “Snowmageddon”, I wanted to capture the breathtaking scenery from the skies. Before heading out, I created a list of landmarks in Southern Maryland. After planning out how to go about visiting each place, I grabbed my drone and GoPro for a little #EDventure

On the way to my first location, I made an impromptu stop at Little Flower School. There I saw people sledding down the big hill. Families spending time with each other having a good time. I decided to capture this moment. Then I went to Holy Face Catholic Church to capture some drone shots there. Sort of my pre-flight location to make sure everything was good to go. My next stop was Leonardtown Square. Took some more drone shots there. It was pretty neat to see the place empty – no cars – with only bulldozers clearing the roads. After taking some shots there, I headed over to Solomon’s Island. There I wanted to capture the famous Tiki Bar, Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church, the bridge, and the general area. I was able to get most of the shots I wanted except for the bridge shot. I was running low on battery. There was actually another drone pilot there that took some shots too. I have yet to find his video of that day. If you find another “Snow Drone” video in Solomon’s Island, let me know. One thing I had to monitor closely this whole time was my battery life. Flying in cold weather really drains your battery and I wanted to save some juice for one more location. I had a decision to make. I wanted to go to Point Lookout, but I knew I was fighting daylight and the battery time I had left was less than a few minutes. I decided to just head over to Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church to get my final shots of the video.  I remember church goers witnessing me fly my drone  at this time. The plan was to fly through the trees towards the Mother Mary Statue water fountain in the middle of the pond and then do a reveal shot, but my batteries ran out.  That was pretty much my filming day. I managed to edit the video in one day and the rest is history.

If you haven’t seen the original video, the link is provided above. The newer version of the video which includes the new Winson Media logo reveal can be viewed below. Make sure to watch in HD.

Location:  Mary’s Hope

You can view the video on Youtube  and on Facebook

A big shout out to Liza G. for flying over from Las Vegas to help shoot this wedding. It was a full day coverage that started out at the salon for some of the Bridal preparation and then over to the venue location where everything else was filmed till late in the evening. This venue was perfect from  a wedding cinematographer’s point of view. No need to travel to many different locations for the Bridal prep, the Groom prep, the ceremony location, reception, etc. Everything took place at the venue. On top of that anything I wanted to do for a wedding video was possible at this location with drone shots, the Bride and Groom photo op, the waterfront scenery, and having a beautiful sunset.

We are thankful for the attention this video has garnered as well as being featured at the latest Bridal show at Historic St. Mary’s City.

This was my third time at this venue and I continue to be blown away by its beauty. Winson Media would love to continue capturing the special moments at Mary’s Hope on Church Cove. If you are looking for a wedding venue, I recommend this location. If you are looking for a wedding cinematographer regardless of where your wedding will take place, I hope you consider Winson Media. We offer competitive affordable pricing and custom packages to fit any wedding needs. No wedding is too big or small. For questions about our wedding services or any of our other services, please contact us at www.winson.media/contact

One last note, I wouldn’t be Winson Media if I didn’t mention about drone regulations for this event. Since the location is in restricted airspace and close to an active airport, Winson Media had to get authorization from the Patuxent River controlling agency in order to operate a drone. Winson Media follows all FAA regulations when operating with drones. Keep in mind most of Southern Maryland is under restricted airspace and it is illegal to operate a drone without authorization. Simply flashing your pilot certificate to the venue coordinator is not enough. You need to provide proof of authorization. Both the pilot and the person who hired the drone pilot will be held liable.

With all of that said, I hope you enjoy this video. Like Winson Media on Facebook. Subscribe on YouTube. Feel free to leave comments. I am  open to all ideas. Until then #keepWinning (Yup I’m starting that).
