Drones are one of the newest filmmaking innovations that has yet to be fully discovered by directors. They provide great varied arial shots that were previously either expensive or impossible. In addition, they are not difficult to control (after a bit of practice of course) and are considerably less expensive than the alternatives (helicopter rides and cranes). And now that the FAA is creating some exemptions for cinema drones, this sounds like a pretty sweet opportunity. Unfortunately, no new technique is perfect. In addition to learning to fly the drone, image quality and stabilization are also a challenge. Also, the battery life of these drones are often very short and doesn't allow for long shoots. Still, if a filmmaker is willing to face these hurdles and learn, "the future of 'drone shots' is wide open."
I think that this was an interesting article. I had never thought about drones being used for this kind of work and it really is a good idea that more filmmakers should be looking into.
I learned that the drones could possibly be used in the future of cinematography.
How can a drone lift quality camera equipment? It seems like smaller, more light weight cameras are of poorer quality than the big bulky cameras.
This could be the future of aerial cinematography. It is something that filmmakers should definitely take into consideration.
