ALELE – We’ve all seen “one-shot drone photos” in our time on the Internet.
It doesn’t seem so hard when you know how to fly a drone. You just fly over something cute, you do some post effects to make the colors appear and voila, you have something pretty beautiful that people love.
Now, try adding a story, a scenario, people, and the many moving parts of a bowling alley, and you realize that all those recordings of landscape drones could be in the “Dime a Dozen” category. (It’s not an insult; I’d crash a drone in two seconds. All drones do great.)
Director Jay Christensen recently released a short film for drones that includes all the unexpected elements above.
The film is called “Right Up Our Alley” and features a typical night at the bowling alley and Bryant Lake Bowl theater in Minneapolis. And everything is done in one go.
The accelerated tour of the alley is quite incredible. He starts outside, goes bowling, then spends 1 minute and 27 seconds gliding smoothly through the place. The film ends perfectly with a landing in the return of the narrow pin, without a single blow.
In fact, it’s so incredible that it caught the attention of people in Hollywood who know what I’m talking about when it comes to film. Lee Unkrich, director of “Toy Story 3” and James Gunn, director of “The Guardians of the Galaxy” they were both amazed.
