Kumamoto - A Story of Devastation & Hope - DJI Phantom 4 Pro 4K

In this short drone movie, we explore The Mt.Aso region which is based in Kumamoto prefecture. The area was hit by a large 7.0M earthquake followed by heavy typhoon rains of an unprecedented nature. Even after a year, most of the roads are still being rebuilt.

A friend of mine Greg O’Keefe is creating a documentary for a local business named Jigoku Hot-Spring. Unfortunately, the hot-spring lost quite a few of its buildings due to a landslide which poured into a creek. It truly was shocking to see the devastation of how it raged through the property, I believe our drone footage displayed the scale of the damage.

We really hope our aerial footage will help tell the story for Greg's full feature documentary which we will update here once it's ready.

Finally, we would like to thank these following people:

Kenji Kawatsu for allowing us to film his hot-spring property and answering all of our questions.
