Drones in the Movies

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!


The FAA announced that they will allow aerial photo and video production companies to use drones to shoot movies.

For the past two years, Drones have been conspicuous at the yearly Cine Gear Expo at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. See the video that I shot at the show above.

This is significant because prior to the invention of the Drone or unmanned aircraft, the only way to get spectacular aerial shots was to use helicopters equipped with an expensive gyro stabilized camera systems.

Drones flying at the Cine Gear show came in different configurations that used sophisticated video or film cameras, Go Pro HD cameras, or even iPhones.

The Federal Aviation Administration says that drones used for movie making do not need an FAA-issued certificate of airworthiness, based on a finding they do not pose a threat to the national airspace or national security.

There are liability issues to consider among others but potential savings for “Big Budget” movies could decidely turn the big budgets into smaller ones and improve the creative process by taking Drones to places that are too small for conventional aircraft to go.

Do you have concerns about Drones and privacy issues? How do you feel about using them for movie making?
