Crossing the Alps by Microdrone

This summer microdrones' md4-1000 achieved something no other quadcopter had previously done. The unmanned aerial system, which was equipped with the latest GPS technology from u-blox and an HD camera from Sony, conquered the Alps by crossing the Saint-Gotthard Pass connecting Switzerland and Italy.

"Microdone'  sounds ominous. These sights are gorgeous. Such is my ambivalence to technology.

PHOENIX in a La Blogoteque Takeaway Show Shot With a Drone at Versaille

The band Phoenix performs their song 'Entertainment' for La Blogotheque's Take Away Shows. This is the second series of Take Away Shows we're doing with Phoenix. This one has been filmed at dawn in the empty gardens of Le Chateau de Versailles. It was filmed with a drone, in one continuous shot, flying around the band. All music was recorded live. Directed by Colin Solal Cardo Produced by Chryde for la Blogothèque Sound Director : François Clos Sound, mix and mastering by François Clos Henri D'Armancourt Etienne Pozzo JB Aubonnet Production manager : Anousonne Savanchomkeo Thanks to : Thomas, Deck, Christian, Branco, Laurence, Chris, Maureen, Pascal, Sophie, Jeanne, Thomas Jacquet and everybody in Phoenix team The one-take was shot with a GoPro3 Black Edition. http://www.blogotheque.net http://www.wearephoenix.com http://www.chateauversailles.fr/

Shot in one continuous drone shot, and music recorded live, this Concert A Emporter from La Blogoteque is one of my favorites, and certainly being of Phoenix doesn't hurt none, either.

Cruising Maridalen FPV style. Saying hello to Ms. Moose.

No translation needed I think.

A remoted-controlled quad-rotor drone follows climbers ascending Pakistan’s 20,623 foot Trango Tower. WIth accesible gear like this, actual mountain climbing expeditions can look as cinematic and gorgeous as theatrical ones.

2 - Motion Capture of Flying Robots Is Pretty

'Flight Forms' revisits early 90's animation ideas in architecture in the Robotic Simulation environment of Sci-Arc. Inspired Muybridges studies, moving bodies in space our intitial starting point was a 'drone' that can independently fly. Based on its motion, nature of behaviour, momentum we have created a 3d visual catalogue, a motion libarary. This collection of motion than got placed in the robotic simulation environment where the flight path were used in controlled way to generate forms. Using multiple film and masking tricks the drones were populated to formations operating in sychronous flight... www.petervikar.com Project by Al ATAIDE & Peter A VIKAR Studio Marcelo SPINA SUMMER 2012 / SCI-ARC ROBOT HOUSE Research Fellows: Brandon KRUYSMAN, Jonathan PROTO Special thanks to: Haejun JUNG, Nazareth EKMEKJIAN, Talin EBRAHIMI, Laylee SALEK, Ida HAMMARLUND, Astrid, Grey CROWELL, Kai REAVER, Andrew ATWOOD MUSIC BY MOUNT KIMBIE - RUBY / RICHARD WAGNER - RISE OF THE VALKYRIES SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE LOS ANGELES, 2012

Quadrotors, micro-drones, all other sorts of flying robots are terrifyingly amazing. And this video studying and visualizing flight paths is gorgeous. The look like vertebrae ​. Eery.
