The second panel, “Drones…Opening New Vistas to Content,” is a super session about filmmaking with drones, the new tool in the storyteller’s toolbox. Panelists will delve into pre-production and production, technology, safety and permitting. Panelists are Dylan Goss, aerial cinematographer for Team5; Drew Roberts, aerial cinematographer for Wild Rabbit Aerial Productions; Tony Carmean, aerial producer for Aerial MOB and Nick Kolias, aerial cinematographer for Aerial Edge. Michael Chambliss, ICG Business Rep will moderate. The panel will be on Wednesday, April 20 from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm in the South Hall Upper, Room 222.
Unmanned aerial vehicles enable filmmakers to position cameras in places they have never been before and to move them in ways that are dynamic and innovative. The panelists will discuss the unique creative capabilities of UAS cinematography, how it differs from helicopters, Steadicams and other production tools, and what to expect as the technology and its implementation matures.
