Those who love cinema and audiovisuals, if they don’t know, they should know what drones are capable of today. And those who love technology should also keep an eye on these small planes, because they will have more and more influence on your daily life.

Even today, they are already part of our daily lives without us realizing it, especially in movies when they have replaced helicopters in aerial filming. And not only did they do the same job, but they went further, being smaller and allowing for various maneuvers. At first, many people doubted this, but over time we have seen how the technology improves, image quality is greatly improved even in portable cameras, and this opens up new possibilities for the audiovisual world.

This brings us to FPV drones, a way to control drones that gives you a point of view of an aircraft, sharing images from a camera attached to it with the pilot via augmented reality goggles.

And even this type of video material is already divided into other categories, the main ones being:

• Freestyle: freestyle grips;
• Races or Races: Whoever crosses the finish line first wins;
• Cinematic: used to create stunning images, planned or not;

Here I share 6 amazing FPV drone scenes and focus on cinematic mode. Below you can see each of the selected ones.

And it’s worth remembering that on YouTube we share some drone images (not in FPV) here in Florianopolis. If you like the theme, you will probably like our content.

1 – New Michael Bay movie

The first images I want to share here are stills from the movie. ER: Day of the Kill, Michael Bay. The film has a lot of action scenes, chases, and FPV Drone Racing League World Champion Alex Vanover was chosen for the production, and the result was unexpected.

And when you stop at the review, it really becomes clear that they needed someone trained at this level to do the imagery, because during the review I just thought about the accuracy of the movements and the responsibility that the pilot took on. Imagine that you crash into one of the stunts and all the cars involved in the shooting return to the starting point to redo the scene.

Certainly much more risky than making a mistake.

2 – University in Switzerland

The title of this video says that this is the longest single ever made. It’s hard to say, but it’s actually really long and amazing. The image was taken by New Step Media, a Swiss video advertising agency.

The scene lasts just over 3 minutes and leaves the student dormitory towards the main building of the university.

At different times, the drone passes through narrow places and makes interesting camera movements. But the first thing that catches your eye is the fact that each stretch is matched with the people involved in the grip.

It’s very common in this type of recording and it’s great to see combinations and creativity in every shot. One more detail – the sound track is not original, all audio was added later. Also, because the drone goes through many environments and still has its own noise, so the audio is placed later in the edit with dubbing and other sound effects.

The video is clearly made to promote the university environment, space and everything else. In the description, the company simply thanks the university for its trust, it does not provide more detailed information about how the production took place, but I assume that most of the people who took part are students and professors.

3 – In a bowling alley with a cinema

This is another phenomenal trick that highlights the moment when the drone goes over the pins, crossing the gap between the track and the mechanism. Also in the sequence, he enters a narrow corridor until he exits on the other side of the path. And here, of course, everything is staged, and the sound effects are staged later.

And here it’s great to think about how this scene was planned and how it manages to highlight the positive aspects of the environment. The video shows the entrance to the bowling alleys, people talking and even a small cinema.

This is a powerful way to promote a business that has a cool atmosphere. This creates a completely different video to post on the website, on Instagram, or even to advertise on YouTube itself.

4 – Bar Meka

What impresses me the most about FPV drones is the ability to take those shots where the camera goes through very small gaps. Even because we know how difficult it is to make this type of capture.

And the following excerpt, recorded for the Meka bar, is surprising in this sense. At different times, the drone passes next to people and between other gaps in the walls.

But, of course, the thinner you take something out of something, the greater the chance of damaging the device, spoiling the sequence and having to repeat everything from scratch. This requires an experienced pilot who is able to masterfully follow the agreement.

And it’s worth noting that FPV drones are not as easy to fly as normal drones, because in this type of flight, the pilot can control more angles, which may seem like an advantage, but makes it very difficult.

In terms of filming, the very tricky part, when he goes through the polka-dotted pool with the kids, the chances of getting into that part seem great. You can even notice that in this section I had to slow down a lot.

5 – Drones in USFL USA

Drones are also gaining popularity in live sports broadcasts. An example of this is the American Football League, which is now piloting drones. And, despite the fact that this is just a test, it can be final.

In this type of broadcast, the images are usually generated by cameras that move along cables above the players. They can even get very close to players, but with drones, you can practically get a spectator onto the pitch.

This is because drones can follow players very closely and convey the idea of ​​movement better. And, at least judging by the images, this does not bother the players much. Either way, it can be a bit agonizing to see how close they can get.

But one thing is for sure: this type of sports footage can deliver a lot of different images to those watching from the couch at home.

6 – Porsche advertisement

This still from a Porsche commercial contains some of the most amazing drone footage I have ever seen. Of course, these are not continuous shots, but the whole concept of this video was thought out with what is possible with FPV drones.

And someone who looks at it this way may not realize how much work it takes to make such shots. To get an idea of ​​the size of the investment, the team even made key take pictures from the car.

They also filmed at various stations and called in a very experienced pilot who did crash the drone several times. The pilot has a YouTube channel called Johny FPV.

And he explained during the making process how he took the most difficult shot that appears in the video and that it’s really only possible with an FPV drone and great skill. He explains that a smaller drone with a GoPro was used for this particular shot, and according to him, it still crashed many times before getting it.

Also, even with all the skill he certainly has in doing this take, he explains that he’s lucky because it’s a take. very destitute. In order for everything to be accurate, a series of alignments is needed.

There are two windows to cross, it had to be on a specific curve to cross and weather conditions had to be taken into account. So what was done in this production is very unusual.

The pictures taken by Fabio Feich on the YouTube channel are also out of the question, it is worth checking out the pictures published directly from Floripa, one of the most beautiful places in Floripa.
