RE: A New Job is Emerging: DRONE Camera Operator
The company I work at has begun to invest heavily intro drones. We just got a DJI Inspire 2. Amazing drone if you shoot in prores. If you are making money off of the footage, you have to have a license. And we have to call the airports to get permission to fly all the time. But after all the effort, its completely worth it because the footage looks incredible. As long as its not one of the cheaper version of the DJI models, it all works out really well.
recording off a drone makes it really immersive and there are absolutely awesome shots that were never possible before. It really changes filming imho.
It also now creates a new job that wasn't there before and that is Drone Camera Operator which is cool!
