Spectacular drone view of nighttime beach kite flying

The Coastal Bend Flying Circus and the Surfside Flyers Kite Club teamed up to put on a Kite Festival over the weekend of April 24-25th 2021, on the beach in Port Aransas Texas. The festival started around 10am Saturday, paused for a few hours around midnight, then resumed Sunday morning until mid afternoon.

The winds were not very kind to kites during Saturday afternoon, but picked up again just in time for the night show with these illuminated kites. We were invited to come fly our drones to record the event and this is one of those resulting videos. We frequently like come visit the coast whenever Surfside Flyers Kite Club hold an event, but this was a first time for us to spend time with the Coastal Bend Flying Circus.

We flew the Autel Evo 2 Pro drone, recording in 4K / 30fps. Video Editing software was Wondershare Filmora X. The audio track was recorded live from a digital recorder set up on a tripod out on the beach.
