2012 Aston Martin Meets A Drone

Either I’m a skilled drone pilot, or a little nuts, or quite possibly a little bit of both! After all, how many people would risk damaging the fine paint job and smooth lines of an Aston Martin with the rapidly spinning sharp blades of a DJI Phantom 2 Vision +? As you can see, at times, the copter did get a bit close to the Aston!

Since I came from a world where getting the shot was the prime directive, I had to give this one a whirl. So, give this brief video a view and let me know your thoughts on whether I’m skilled or crazy. I’ll add that since Aston Martin is so closely associated with the James Bond franchise, I thought I would pay homage by finding a royalty free soundtrack that would deliver a bit of the Bond feel and add a number of quick cut edits, that in turn, give it a kind of cheesy, vintage James Bond look. So yes, the editing style was intentional and outside of my normal editing techniques.
