For nearly two decades, whenever I’m writing or editing my books, I put on ambience videos in the background to help get my mind into a creative flow. Now with a drone, I’ve been able to take videos from the sky that have allowed me to create my own ambience videos and, in some ways, “carry forward” what I have personally used for years and years.
The video itself is about 17.5 minutes long. Dates footage was taken range from June 4th to June 9th, featuring six locations.
- Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte outside south Sedona/north Oak Creek Village
- Uptown Sedona and surrounding landscape
- Oak Creek Canyon Scenic Byway
- Highway 89 north of Cameron & Willow Springs
- Highway 89 at Antelope Pass
- Horseshoe Bend perimeter
I have several other locations I’ve been filming during this trip, and will be making short- and long-form videos using the footage across different platforms.
I’m currently in Washington State, and will be back in Idaho for my next conference on June 16th-17th before heading out to Glacier National Park in Montana for a few days before heading south again for the final two conferences.
