Recently I picked up a multi-rotor drone to carry my camera.
I'm having fun flying my drone, but now my videos feel all the same: running along a straight line, go up and take a 360, fly really low almost touching the bushes. Pretty pictures, but not really good video.
Any ideas on how to script/arrange/film better videos for subjects as simple as "last weekend with friends"?

As Abraham Lincoln once said, "If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Okay, it might not have been Lincoln — maybe Socrates. But what he meant was this: you have a cool video tool. It may not be the best tool for the job, but you're so excited about it that you use it anyway. With boring results.
Worse, getting locked into the hammer/nail thing prevents you from seeing all that a hammer can do. It can flatten chicken breast, or pry out a screw. The handle could caress someone's back or bat a ball. Twenty hammers, welded together, might make a great sculpture. It's easy to get stuck on one use for video tools. But even if you have a hammer, there's no reason to just pound things.
