Project details

Location: Stuttgart, Germany
Project: TechCrunch video on Autotalks
Client / production: TechCrunch
Services: Aerial and driving shots in 4K
Shoot date: 2017

Brief and execution

Connected safety systems are abstract. The video makes it visible: car and motorcycle approach each other, the technology warns in time. The drone shows these situations from the air so they are understood at once.

Keeping motorcycle and car in frame at the same time requires precise coordination: route, speed and camera position are defined in advance and shot under safe conditions.

Equipment and permits

DJI Inspire 1 with Zenmuse X5R (RAW), 4K.

Pilot and camera: Jochen Riehm.
