Attack of the Drones

This article was about how Drones will, and are changing how directors make movies. The article starts off with Angela Watercutter telling a story on he's trying to get a good shot with his drone. I should probably go over what a drone is sense I've only mentioned it 3 times now. It's basically an RC Helicopter with a camera attached to it, where you can control the camera motion and what not. Anyways, he's trying to get a shot but failing. And he then learns after that, it's not too hard to fly the things with a little practice. Then the rest of the article he talks about how drones are changing film making as we know it. Never before could we get all these great angles that we do now. There's also already a lot of stuff coming out now using drones. Like Corridor Digital's Superman with a GoPro. And while there where other techniques like cranes, they still have their place but can be done a lot cheaper with drones. I thought this article was good but the story thing at the beginning was kind of dumb. At least all the weird comparisons the writer made. But still a good read on drones, which seem like a cool new thing for new movie techniques.
