Drones Used In Blockbuster Movie Scenes

• Hollywood has long been keen to employ the use of
  drones to help filmmakers create scenes that push
  creative boundaries, and to give movie goers a
  brand new, thrilling experience. Not only that,
  but their use could save movie makers real bucks
  and even increase the safety aspect of sets.

• However, filming with the use of a drone was
  illegal here in the US until 2014, and in fact
  the majority of new movies still prefer not to
  have it listed on the IMDB (international movie
  database), that they used them during filming.
  This is certain to change though, as the new FAA
  regulations allow for filmmakers to have more
  freedom to use drones in their movies. Most are
  hopeful that the laws will continue to become
  more and more flexible as time goes on involving
  far less red tape, and allowing movie makers to
  safely disclose their use of drones.

• Here are five of the top blockbuster movies that
  have used drones in their filming
• SKYFALL
• Drones were used to track the star of the film,
  James Bond 007 (played by Daniel Craig) as he
  chased and scrambled his way across the rooftops
  of the famed bazaar in Istanbul, in hot pursuit
  of the Unnamed Terrorist 3. The footage was high
  speed and gave viewers a unique perspective of
  the action, and the aerial imaging platform,
  Flying-Cam 3.0 SARAH that was used by the company
  who shot the footage, recently won an Oscar for
  their work.

• 2. SPECTRE
• Were talking James Bond again, as drones are
  used throughout Sam Mendess latest 007 movie,
  Spectre. One of the most memorable action scenes
  involving 007s escape from a raging fire, was
  filmed using drones from the rooftops of
  Trafalgar Square in London.

• 3. CHAPPIE
• Filmed in the wake of the critically acclaimed
  District 9, South African director Neill
  Blomkamps latest movie, Chappie, involves the
  extensive use of drones throughout its filming.
  Some of the shots in the movie that would
  otherwise have been done on a cable camera, were
  instead filmed with a drone, making them much
  more fluid, and speedy.

• 4. THE WOLF OF WALL STREET
• A drone cinematography company was responsible
  for capturing some of the impressive pool party
  shots in Martin Scorceses latest film, The Wolf
  Of Wall Street, and its hard to imagine that
  scene being shot any other way and being half as
  effective.

• 5. THE NOVEMBER MAN
• In this movie, Pierce Brosnan is actually
  employed as a spy for an agency that uses drones
  to capture surveillance footage, and throughout
  the film, the viewer gets a pretty unique drones
  eye view of the action. The director of November
  Rain, Roger Donaldson, was so impressed with the
  aerial footage that he asked the drone pilots to
  remain on set and help him shoot the entire movie.

• It would certainly seem as if drones are here to
  stay, and while their use may still be under
  scrutiny, theres simply no way that film makers
  and directors alike could ever go back to filming
  without them.
