Stunning birds-eye view footage, filmed on a drone over a forest in Vancouver Island, Canada.

The video, filmed last year, shows the beautiful forest below as the drone gracefully glides overhead. You can also see the clouds flowing in and out of the trees.

The filmer later wrote online: "This is a continuous shot from a small quadcopter which I built in 2014.

"I spotted the clouds flowing over the ridge of trees whilst driving through the centre of the island, between Lake Cowichan and Port Renfrew, on quiet forest roads."

We pulled over and I flew the drone up to the clouds, whilst sitting on the roof of the camper-van," he continued.

"During this particular shot the quadcopter was several hundred metres away from me; I fly and frame shots using a live transmission to a set of video goggles.

"We were completely taken by the beauty of Vancouver Island, and of British Columbia as a whole - I'd love to go back."

This is a continuous shot from a small quadcopter which I built in 2014. The camera is a GoPro HERO4 camera. My girlfriend and I (both 18 from the UK) travelled from Vancouver city to Los Angeles over the course of 6 weeks, and this was one of the locations early in the trip where I flew the quadcopter. I spotted the clouds flowing over the ridge of trees whilst driving through the centre of the island, between Lake Cowichan and Port Renfrew, on quiet forest roads. We pulled over and I flew the drone up to the clouds, whilst sitting on the roof of the camper-van. During this particular shot the quadcopter was several hundred metres away from me. I fly and frame shots using a live transmission to a set of video goggles.

We were completely taken by the beauty of Vancouver Island, and of British Columbia as a whole - I'd love to go back.

Unfortunately, a little later in the trip the drone was lost during a flight when the lithium battery failed and lost power. We searched for 2 days but couldn't find where it had landed. That meant I wasn't able to get as much footage as I had planned during my trip, but we didn't let it spoil our time in North America. I hope to be able to replace the quadcopter soon and keep making films.
