Astro and Remi are male Mini Australian Shepherd litter mates born October 8, 2020 with 8 other siblings. Wolfie’s litter mate sister is their mother and were born October 12, 2018. Astro and Wolfie are Blue Merles and Remi is a Black-Tri. Bella is a female cross between a Miniature Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Cavapoo) born December 21, 2013.

Wolfie is very photogenic and I took lots of pictures and a few videos of him over the years. Recently I created a YouTube channel to share videos of Astro and Remi. When an opportunity arose to get a drone, I took it as an chance to add some significant cinematic effects to those short videos.

I’m just getting started, but here are a couple of my first short videos featuring the dogs and using the Litchi software to plan the missions, virtualize them in Google Earth, and then fly them …
