Where does Rapunzel go for the summer? To her California beach tower of course. This is a real place in #Laguna beach and I photographed this with my #drone a few years back. I obviously painted the hair in with #Photoshop just for some fun. Would this be #barbie #Rapunzel? no ai used.

I still remember one of the first times I was using a drone. There was no screen back then, or remote camera control. You either shot video and extracted frames later, or put it in time-lapse mode for photos.

Sorry you feel that way. I haven't looked at the signup page but I'll pass along your feedback, surprised creatives aren't listed, but probably the serve they are using. You can't customize much these days.
