Wow, just wow. Amazing work!

Sweet clip!

Perfect execution!

Looks awesome, but Jack’s clothing could use more movement. Maybe try cloth simulation?

Hey, I’m curious—how does a delayed crash work after water damage? I’m new to drones and super interested. Thanks!

Looks like Jack Sparrow caught your drone! :joy:

This is hilarious!

I remember your original post—this is such a fun way to make the best of it!

Amazing! How did you create the Jack Sparrow footage?

Thanks! I used a Jack Sparrow model from Sea of Thieves. I rigged and animated it in Blender, then composited it into the scene.

That’s brilliant! I’d love to try something like this.

If you’re working with drone footage, I’d recommend looking into camera tracking tools. I used a program called SynthEyes for this project—it was super easy to turn my footage into a 3D scene for animation.

Thanks for the tip! I usually make short drone videos, but I’m excited to explore this.

You can also check out Mixamo for quick character animations. It’s free and very beginner-friendly.

Not gonna lie, when you mentioned this idea earlier, I didn’t think it’d look this good. Amazing job!
