Really interesting stuff. So odd even after all this time to see all those buildings looking like someone just stepped out & will be back in a minute, & that nature just came in & took over while they were out.

If you can get aerial footage that good from drones, I wonder how that bodes for the accessibility of aerial shots in general in film making? I'm sure he's using top end stuff, but still, I have to imagine that as the tech continues to develop costs will go down, & that shooting with drones would be much more accessible & affordable than helicopters, planes, or even crane shots.

I was wondering that too... I'd imagine it must start being used given how wonderful the results!
