Sweet work.

I think this may be a BB repeat? Very cool nonetheless. I have to wonder how many times they crashed going through that ring? All one take! Sort of Muscle Beach / Touch of Evil, eh?

I also wonder how they dialed the lens distortion back? The horizon in the raw footage is super duper curved.

It’s the foley that deserves a prize, but I never see them for sale on BoingBoing.

Ah makes me miss the place…

Do we know or have a photo of the drone and camera used to make this?
Thank you.

I wanna say I remember seeing this ~1 year ago, but w/ a different sound track.

Looks like he’s aware that he’s borrowing for Touch of evil as well. https://vimeo.com/221976832

Was it filmed in reverse? Or was another camera used to navigate the drone?

It’s played backwards, as seen in the raw footage.
