9 breathtaking videos that have won drone awards

Drones are giving filmmakers the ability to capture footage live never before

Drone future cinema

A smart man once said that any sufficiently advanced technology is going to be, at first glance, indistinguishable from magic. That quote was arguably the inspiration for this short film, which uses drone technology to highlight the relationship between the inventor and the created.

Cleverly disguised as colorful lampshades, the film shows quadcopters interacting with a French scientist. There was no CGI or behind the scenes wizardry used in the filming of ‘Sparked’, so we’re assuming that some gesture controls were behind this awesome piece of cinema.
