…this is where I hang out, so I’m posting here. If you fly any sort of drone, you‘ve gotta see this video:

A Drone Went Bowling. Hollywood Noticed. (Published 2021)

A drone video shot in a Minneapolis bowling alley was hailed as an instant classic. One Hollywood veteran said it “adds to the language and vocabulary of cinema.”

Amazing.

Been posted a few times already.

...and it’s amazing every time.

It made me feel a little better to read that he crashed the first nine times. But still.

I didn’t have the same take away from the article. It said that there were 9 previous takes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they were crashes. One of the most amazing things about this video to me isn’t just the flying, it’s the CHOREOGRAPHY. People have to be in the right position at the right time with amazingly little room for error, and my guess that at least half of the failed takes were from that kind of issue.

That's a good point, thank you. All of MY failed shots are due to crashes, but that may not be the case for an actual pilot.

The audio seems to have been dubbed in later (because we do not hear a drone!), so there was the advantage of someone being able to scream, "move three inches to the right!"

Yeah, that’s overdub.

I would also assume that some scenes where flown and a slower speed then sped up in post production.

Maybe the fly-In, but all of the physical movement inside seems to be in real time. The movement is natural and doesn’t look sped up or slowed down to me.

Agreed. I think the guy is just a very skilled pilot.
