tom95521 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Have you ever wondered how Walt Disney's animators were able to zoom and pan accurately without computer animation? Objects like clouds and the moon less than the foreground objects?http://nofilmschool.com/2014/08/walt-disney-multiplane-camera/I have always been amazed how much labor and skill was involved in making hand crafted animated movies before computer animation.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hi TomI don't know if you can get the BBC programme Click! it is available on the BBC IPlayer, last time I suggested this to a non UK resident, it was only available as a pay programme. However, you must try to see the latest edition it's all about model helicopter based video cameras, using the multi rotored battery powered type of helicopter. They are already being used in the production of mainstream cinema & commercials. Being an ex radio control pilot, it really got my juices going, this is a link, http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04dy36n/click-09082014 but I think you would have to pay? Maybe someone will up-load it to YouTube? we live in hope. It really is a mustn't miss. The final bit showed a developer who was producing a man carrying version. Regards EricYachtsman1.

tom95521 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi Eric,Quadcopters/Hexcopters are really popular for aerial filming. The DJI Phantom series are really popular. Maybe someday when I retire I will buy one.I could not view the video without using a VPN/Proxy and my guess is that is frowned upon by the BBC.We already have DO NOT FLY zones for drones. If the FAA develops strict rules to limit the altitude too low it would not be much fun. I agree it's dangerous to fly them above 150 meters or close to airports.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi TomYes, I was a member of the the BMFA & LMA (British Model Flying Association & Large Model Association) when I was flying & there are strict rules over here. It was the use they are being put to in mainstream cinema that was significant in my eyes, there is one shot of Superman carrying a young lady that had been done somehow using a drone, FAB Regards EricYachtsman1.
