Pocatello Temple Aerial View
An extra video for fun I came upon this really cool song in the background of the in-between parts of the general conference youtube Livestream from Saturday before the evening session and was inspired to make this afterward, enjoy!
Not an official church video just me making stuff for fun to learn and practice!
This was the first video that I dabbled in color settings for the first time, my cousin had shown me how to use it and now this is my 3rd attempt at it after doing a bit of research to make it better. Improved clouds contrast with the landscape.
Also, check out the Amazing artist that created this inspired piece of music!!!

Easter eggs: there is a person walking backward from a reversed clip
(there are some well-hidden reversed clips most if not all of the clips going toward the temple are actually reversed except the side is one).
Also, you can see me in the last shot near the bottom!
Some things to note for some clips (concern notes):
again this is Not an official church video just me making stuff for fun to learn and practice!
All of the footage is legal to my knowledge I could be wrong but I did try to follow good due diligence as this is a grey area so I was trying to find some contrast.
I Asked a commercially licensed (part 107) drone pilot in my ward who is a Police officer if I could fly there and he said it was fine during the open house but not during construction. I asked this police officer first and assumed that was it fine as I'm flying for fun and to create and practice skills I had flown a handful of hours before and was ready and confident enough in my skills to be able to fly I'm not doing this for commercial purposes at all as my intent but because I wanted to show friends and family.
I am a certified Recreational drone pilot as well if that helps.
but some clips are ethically conflicted due to being recorded/flown in the fence and afterward being told not to fly (specifically hover) in the fence but I recorded those clips before I knew about that, more on that later.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has kindly discouraged unauthorized drone flights near temples. but are not illegal just discouraged as drone laws are different in Idaho than in Utah
but in Utah, it is illegal to a certain point (which has its upsides and downsides mostly downsides), but I will respect what they have asked and only use what I have recorded previously before I knew about their preferences (unless I get authorization, which I don't know could maybe happen, but most likely might not happen)

I have tried my best to keep the peace and spirituality of the temple sacred even before I knew about this article it is the house of the lord I don't want to ruin the peace and spirituality that people can feel even on the temple grounds, but this video also shows the temple in a way that is Amazing and that most people don't get to see I did also want to do this before the temple was dedicated as to reduce flying around it once it is dedicated.
Since I have been asked not to fly above the temple grounds (in the fence) I have not flown in the temple grounds without Permission. flying outside the perimeter is allowed but I wouldn't encourage making it a regular thing or do it too often. I will be continuing to do some of that likely for different seasons/days of the year to create more awesome stuff (winter next maybe?)
As to all of this, I am sorta new at drone flying laws so I could be wrong but this is my point of view. Feel free to comment in the video description just make sure to use nice words this is a family-friendly kinda thing (at least that's my goal).
