Strange Craft - Drone Music Video (HD High Definition Re-release)

Описание: Hello friends. It only took 15 years to update this into High Definition!
If you are unfamiliar with this video, it originally came out in 2007. It was a response to a rather well known UFO case that was reported in that same year. I became slightly synonymous with it, as I was trying to increase awareness that such images could be created at home without some vast budget.
I was thrust into the limelight after a well known UFO reporter (who's voice features in the video) told the world that an animation I created (which is still on my channel, my very first video in fact) was "not animation", when in fact it was.
I went from around a few hundred views, to a quarter of a million views over night. This lead to me having to come out from the veil of internet anonymity, and prove that I wasn't a C.I.A. agent, or the actual creator of the images... as many were out there claiming.

To be honest, it wasn't the kind of attention I was seeking. In fact, I'm not really an attention seeker at all. But I am interested in the truth.

My personal investigation into the "Californian Drone" were more about expanding peoples awareness than anything. Unfortunately, the study of strange phenomena is replete with people who want to tell a tall tale, and also people who just want to make money. Sifting through the fakes to get to the gold is not easy work.

I've seen many strange things myself, so I'm not a "debunker" of the subject, but I do like to try and determine what is worthy of investment.

Anyway, after a year of trying to determine whether the Californian Drone and associated materials were real, it all reached a big dead end. Though the photos were all very convincing (to a degree, I thought they were computer graphics myself), all of the witnesses remained anonymous. Deeper investigation by others found inconsistencies regarding reported locations, and I myself found many curious problems with the C.A.R.E.T. documents that came out, as well as problematic lighting issues with the stated "real" photos of the UFO drones.

It was all very frustrating after such an investment of so much of my time. I was attacked by some, received a rather foul threatening letter by one person. I had people digging into my life, calling me a shill, a CIA agent, a hoaxer etc etc. Talk about a bummer. It's funny now I suppose, but at the time, it wasn't enjoyable at all. So, I was determined to take away something positive from it all, and something that would cheer up many others who felt frustrated by the case as I was.

During the investigation, I'd created a whole load of models based upon the photos. I'd met the musician "Drone" online, as he was also intrigued by the case, and he'd written a piece of music inspired by it all. I loved it so much, that I asked him if he'd let me create a music video for it. It was a way for me to put a personal full stop on my investigation, and produce a positive from what seemed like a negative. And thus, a collaborative work of art was born and thrust onto the internet.

The original video was uploaded to many places back then, onto my channel, Drones channel, and a couple of other people shared it too. It must have had a quarter of a million views when all combined over the years. (Weirdly, if you search for Strange Craft Drone, the original version of it on my channel is nowhere to be found. Even other peoples poor quality copies appear, but never mine... a bit odd, no?)

Anyway, I received many requests over the years to upgrade it to HD, and I just never had the time. But finally, I thought, I need to do it! So here it is! Just a few short months away from it's 15th anniversary. It really doesn't seem that long ago. I sincerely hope you enjoy it, and I ask that you thumb up & share it if you like it. I'm also going to be producing a lot of new content in the near future, so you might consider subscribing too. Though Google don't seem to like me very much, so it's a grind to get anyone to see my work. So I need help sharing it around.

Thanks again for stopping by, and I really hope you enjoy it. Drones music is especially banging, and I hope my animation work makes it even greater.

Much love to you all, and if you read all that, well done! Thanks!
