SEND IN THE DRONES

New innovations in drone technology are set to push the film industry forward in spectacular ways.

Autonomous aerial drones are a particular example of how certain shots could be captured better than ever before.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing a new software which allows self-flying drones to frame and maintain shots while making all kinds of maneuvers and not to crash into obstacles.

Camera operators and drone pilots would not be needed as the intelligent drones could recognize the best shot size and viewing angle.

While those are still a work in progress, other exciting developments in aerial photography are already on the market.

The newest one is the release of drone goggles which enable users to control drone cameras with head movements. In other words, you just need to tilt your head to change the view of the shot.

Such innovations push back the boundaries of what’s possible in filming and show a thrilling filmmaking future is ready for take-off.
