Mini 3 Pro night hyperlapse, scouting for the scene

First of all, let's see what happens approaching Mt. Etna

It is not bad, there are plenty of distant lights from villages further away, a few streets

of cars from highways and of course the backdrop of Mt. Etna can be quite spectacular

It will not be easy to render Mt. Etna properly as we need some good light and hope for the

best cloud conditions. Therefore we need the best timing and a bit of luck

what we can make out of the little village. I start with the camera pointing down to the main

square of the village where a street party with a rock concert is taking place. I make a diagonal

move keeping the square in the middle of the frame. This one would probably work better as a time lapse

with a static point of view as there is already plenty of movement going on. But this fellow

doesn't have a cooling fan and to avoid overheating it relies on the air generating by the movement

It is not suggested to keep it hovering for 15 minutes, especially in this hot weather

but we can probably find something more interesting. Then I try a sort of long range shot

in line with the main street of the village, going backward while descending. There is a good deal

movement going on, with cars and plenty of people because of the street party

The distance travel is too long, a shorter and slower move will be more interesting

Not bad, it could be a starting point to link to the view on Mount Aetna
