      A drone would have been 100X better if they had one. It's very hard to enjoy and appreciate skating in a completely immersed way when you've got a helicopter hovering around you, getting so close to you.

    @atadbitnefarious1387 7 лет назад +6

    Only those who do not appreciate aviation say this would have been better with a drone. It's any helicopter pilot's dream to freely go anywhere and fly like this. Drones give no sense of speed, or natural feeling of flight to the film. They move on a 3 dimensional axis and basically fly itself, the operator just tells it where to go. But helicopters (ones like this at least) are purely mechanical and tied directly to human input. Everything that is caught on film is exactly what the pilot is seeing as he climbs, dives, drifts and turns. It's a dance because it takes literally your entire body to pilot a helicopter as opposed to just your thumbs and a screen.
    To wrestle(more like finesse) a 1 ton flying machine within close proximity to a glacier to get (stable) footage of a figure skater as she expresses herself on the top of the world with scenic views takes nothing short of pure genius and absolute trust for each other.
    And I think that is the most beautiful part.
