And third item learned..... the thread just keeps on giving. FPV. First thought on the bowling clip was it could not be real or that it had heavy CGI edits.

Funny digging into this segment, the "official" FAA regs are that you need a "visual observer" if the operator has the goggles on. Skydio drone gets hijacked could be a headline one day I guess. I remember seeing a DJI story about getting on the US blacklist for some specific piece of technology/hardware someone didn't want them to have.

First thought - wow. Now that is a drone tech for the first timers.
Second - crash avoidance tech must outrageously good
Third - I have never considered how you post video here??? Took a bit of testing with cut/paste.... got it now.

I still can't figure out the technical wizardry for this one, single shot, audio gets post p work of course but this is just wild.





A long take is only impressive if it tells a story. See Hitchc-ck’s rope, or Orson Welles and Russell metty’s opening scene in touch of evil: https://youtu.be/Yg8MqjoFvy4

I will be impressed when the long take from an amateur drone video tells a story like the masters did with film and no flying machines...

Travel and Gee-whiz drone videos just don’t do much for me unless they tell a human story.

Don’t focus on the gadgets and tech - focus on making something people might be interested in!






Woke!

tough critic. Yes , I need to see Rope again. Not seen the other , yes that clip is impressive too, looks like it is a well received movie. Way before my time but curious if the border was really so free at that time. Best modern day long shot is from Goodfellas - the saturday nightclub entrance.

A video today that you think can't possibly be real and must have had computer help but is real, THAT is worthy of praise.
