FLYING HIGH: 8000+
In the age of remote-controlled drones, we have already become accustomed to images shot from soaring heights. Drone videos are also increasingly seen in documentaries because they are relatively inexpensive compared to helicopter shots, and, it’s no secret, because it’s fun for the cameramen to fly the drone and control it using a screen—safely from the ground! If the drone gets into turbulence, the pilot doesn’t have to worry about his own safety.

It was necessary but we’re past that. We can throw down as hard as the men.”
