Best drone video I have ever seen!

there is a lot of hidden stitching done there. I think that must be something like 70 staged drone shots and some really heavy tracking and compositing work.

Amazingly good work though, I can see why they got hired. I bet this was extremely expensive.
 
The movie Rope by Hitchcock was not one continuous shot either, it was stitched. This was 5 intricate productions stitched into one amazing video. Breathtaking, really.
 
I'm into quad-copters too. I've seen these people who race their copters through courses they can only see thru their video headset tied into the copter's camera. Wow! I've never even tried with mine. I'm too afraid of crashing it then not knowing where the wreckage is. LoL!
 
5 individual productions with 5 takes each and choreography to some degree. I skimmed the article, didn't read it all.
 
I watched a bts video from the producer's youtube page. In it, I saw a few shots of people deliberately walking slowly. They were either rehearsing their actions or they moved slowly as the quadcopter moved thru the shot, also slowly. In post, the video speed could be re-mapped or 'time warped' to appear normal. That way, you get hair raising close encounters with people without much risk of hitting them or crashing the copter. Same thing with the copter whizzing by while just missing support beams as it quickly zig zags between them.. I don't know if that's what they did, but it would make sense.
