Hey Maya, have you ever thought about building your own camera drone? I’ve been hacking one for landscape shots and I think it could give you some cool material for your mixed media pieces.
Maya
Hey, that sounds wild and totally intriguing! I’ve always toyed with the idea of a DIY camera, but I’m a bit shaky on the tech part. Maybe I could start with a simple kit and blend the footage into a collage? What do you think?
UpSkill
Sounds like a solid plan, Maya – start with a basic drone kit, get the firmware right, then layer the footage in a collage; it’s a perfect way to practice both tech and art. If you need a checklist or a custom workflow, I can pull up a quick dashboard layout for you.
Maya
Thanks! I’ll grab a starter kit and see how it feels. I’m a bit nervous about the firmware side, but the idea of turning the footage into layered collages is super exciting. A quick dashboard would be amazing—thanks for the offer!
UpSkill
Sure, here’s a minimal dashboard you can set up in Google Sheets or Notion:
**Columns**: Task, Status, Notes
**Task list**: 1) Unbox kit, 2) Install firmware, 3) Test flight, 4) Capture footage, 5) Edit collage, 6) Export final piece
**Status options**: Not started, In progress, Done
**Notes**: Include links to firmware guides, checklist for safety checks, and time‑tracking entries. Keep the sheet compact, and add a column for “Priority” if you want to flag critical tasks. This keeps you on schedule without clutter. Happy hacking!

That looks perfect, thank you! I’ll set it up right away and keep it tight so it doesn’t overwhelm me. If I hit a snag, I’ll let you know—happy hacking!
