A video maker from Peterborough captured some incredibly eerie footage of a disused RAF station in Upwood . Daniel Munns , a Lincoln University graduate , travelled to the Cambridgeshire station with a Phantom 2 DJI drone and a GoPro camera . He was drawn to the location because he was bored of filming the fields around where he lives and after purchasing a drone believed the station would be an interesting place in which to capture some unique footage . Helped by his friend Sean Young , who drove the pair to the location , Daniel squeezed through a hole in a fence and spent an hour filming and an additional nine hours editing once home . Looking back on the project , Daniel , who was merely testing out his new equipment on the day , admitted he was ecstatic with the final product . He said : ‘ It had been a bit trial and error at first as I don ’ t have a monitor for the drone so I was flying blind . ‘ I was just holding certain shots and hoping they would come out okay . When I got back and saw the outcome though I was buzzing . Daniel was drawn to the location because he was bored of filming the fields around where he lives in Peteborough . After squeezing through a fence , Daniel captured some truly atmospheric footage of the abandoned RAF base . ' I knew for sure that the drone had been a good purchase. ’ The video itself is both chilling and mesmerising and captures the abandonment of the place in all its eerie glory . Opening on a shot of tall trees , the footage fades into a birds-eye view of the abandoned RAF station . Unsettling music accompanies the clip throughout as the drone moves slowly around the area capturing it entirely . Footage of the buildings up-close show the extent of the deterioration that has taken place since the base was closed . Daniel was only testing his GoPro camera and drone but was ecstatic with the final outcome nevertheless . Royal Air Force Station Upwood is a former non-flying station . It was under the control of the United States Air Force from 1981 , and one of three RAF stations in Cambridgeshire used by the United States Air Forces in Europe . In 1994 the station was closed by the Ministry of Defence and most of it was vacated with the land and buildings being sold off to civil ownership . Daniel explained that the size of the abandoned place was overwhelming and that this helped influence his decision to depict it in a spooky way . He said : ‘ It was eerie being in there so it only felt right to edit it in the way that I did. ’ The drone then stalks a man ( Daniel ’ s friend Sean ) walking through the isolated landscape before ascending over his head . The footage then fades into arguably the best shot of the piece – a vantage point that captures the sun breaking through miserable clouds , and the trees appearing as silhouettes . Featured in the film is Daniel 's friend Sean , whose presence adds another spooky element to the piece . Daniel captures a great shot of the sun breaking through the miserable clouds and the building 's dark and empty windows . Also featured in the shot is the building ’ s darkened , empty windows as well as a row of them in the distance that appear to look like a series of letters . Faster footage of the buildings follow and a close-up shot of one of the entrances show the depreciation that has taken place . Sean again features – standing in one of the windows – giving the piece another strange and spooky element . Daniel admitted however that his intention had been to use someone dressed in military uniform so as to provide an even ghostlier edge , but stated that he does intend to do a follow up piece at a later date . Daniel took a total of nine hours to edit the footage of the station after filming it for an hour with a drone . ‘ I felt I could have done a lot better if I had planned it , ’ he said . ‘ But for test footage I was chuffed to bits with it. ’ Daniel studied Media Production at university , with a focus on film and TV , script writing and film production . He has recently started a media company called ShotSightMedia , where he uploads videos of his work . Daniel studied Media Production at university , with a focus on film and TV , script writing and film production .
