Highlights of Vancouver — Cinematic Aerial Trailer (DJI Mini 3) Description: Shot and edited a cinematic drone trailer showcasing the city of Vancouver, captured entirely on a DJI Mini 3. Filmed and edited under my channel, Avid Wanderer, the project blends sweeping aerial cityscapes, iconic landmarks, and dynamic movement to create a fast-paced highlight reel of the city. The trailer covers Vancouver's skyline and Harbour Centre tower, a cinematic flyover of the Lions Gate Bridge, a bird's-eye descent into Gastown's historic Steam Clock, and a golden-hour aerial pass over the downtown core, closing with a SkyTrain gliding past Science World. Shots were paced and sequenced with smooth transitions and color grading to give the whole video a polished, cinematic travel-trailer feel.
