As a reward for your voting today, we are sharing an awesome drone video from last month's Coffin Races created by Nick Wood. Wood is a local videographer (and sometimes photographer) that creates short videos for companies for promotional use. With this video, Wood hoped to, "give a visual representation of the type of community our city has and how so many of our local business help support one another. " To create the video, Wood first got permission from the city to use his registered DJI Phantom 3 drone and then flew it all over the place during the coffin races. If you saw a white shape floating in the sky that day, it was probably him. Click through to watch his video!

DENTON VIDEO BREAK: OCTOBER 2016
Every month we like to share a few Denton-centric videos that have been on our screens lately. Since this month is so spooky, we figured we would put together a few "paranormal" videos with a Denton connection. Submitted for your approval are three videos featuring paranormal investigators of all sorts EVP-ing their way through different parts of town. We have local comedy duo, The Monthly Junk, the Denton Area Paranormal Society, and Youtube SilkOlive with an in depth video breakdown of the tale of the Goatman's Bridge.

Dudes, it's Friday again. This sure seemed like a long week for one that started off on a holiday. Oh well, the weekend is here and 5pm is only eight and a half hours away. You can do it. We can help. Below are three WDDI hand-picked videos for your viewing amusement. We've got Midlake's new video for "The Old & the Young," a video from Denton's first Help-Portrait the other week, and some sort of weird mood setting video for this year's "Denton Mafia" thingamajig that we had not heard of until this year (but are now extremely excited about).
We love this new video for Midlake's new single, "The Old and The Young," from their new(ish) album, Antiphon.
Above is the Behind the Scenes video from January 11th's Help-Portrait: Denton. The next event will be held December 6th, 2014, but you can follow along and find out how you can help by following them on their Facebook page. The video was shot and edited by the always awesome Ryan Polly. You can check out more of his work on his website.
We're still not exactly sure what Mafia 2014 is, but we loved watching this video featuring parts of Denton as a scenic backdrop and we now know that if we happen to see people dressed in mafia regalia between January 27th - February 1st, that we shouldn't freak out. That's about it. You can find out more at this website.
