William Shakespeare’s birthplace, a low aerial shot with tourists

And then for something a little different, check out this bonkers fast low view…
William Shakespeare’s birthplace is one of the busiest tourist spots in Stratford Upon Avon, so it was great to be able to capture it in a variety of different scenes. You’ll find low and fast drone shots along with more intricate slow aerials and gimbal work. It pops up in the background of a few of the statue shots, as well as being spottable in many of the wider generic views. This one for example, his birthplace is on the left of the main town center street, and you can also see right up to the Stratford Wheel and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. It looks wonderful in 4K.

The Stratford Wheel itself features in a few of the shots too. This one works as a fantastic establishing aerial reveal of the River Avon and a couple of Stratford’s beautiful old river crossings.

And that’s it. It was great to spend a couple of days filming in Stratford-Upon-Avon, what a beautiful place. The only thing it’s missing is a McDonald’s, after a long hard couple of days I was desperate to go in and order a Macbeth.
Cheers all
