Very creative idea. Its not very steady though, and wifi interference means its probably not worth the hassle

I love the make-shift crane. I think this is a very unique and challenging way to use what you have in the budget you have been given

Debbie P.

The use of the quad copter is a very unique idea.

Joan L.
Posted 7 months ago

It's quite interesting how such a small piece of equipment can produce big results. I think this would work well in any film genre where this type of shot is required.

Jennifer M.
Posted 7 months ago

This was a clever idea. The final result is a little unsettling because of the flying camera, but perhaps this instability can be used to great effect in your documentary?

Brad K.
Posted 7 months ago

love the idea but the shots still need that stability otherwise it still looks low budget and the equipment needed to get those steady aerial shots can be expensive. you've given me a few ideas though so thank you keep up the good work.

The little shaking in the copter shots adds to it for me and gives it a more kamikaze style that fits the subject.

Jim M.
Posted 7 months ago

Kamikaze - yeah! Thanks.
