The video is an incredible tour of Los Angeles by camera drone made by filmmaker Ian Wood. Music is pretty good too. Enjoy.
The emergence of low cost camera drones in the last few years has generated some interesting footage. I’m guessing I’m not the only one here whose Facebook feed after Christmas featured videos posted by people playing with their new toys by flying them over their home town. A favourite of mine for when I get homesick is the Highland Aerial Views YouTube channel (link below) has some nice films of the far north of Scotland.
Any others?

Drones have been absolutely revolutionary for the surfing community, as have waterproof GoPros. Footage that would have cost a fortune to produce just a couple of years ago is now being whacked out in an afternoon and circulated widely.
Here’s a video of the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii, one of the best waves on earth, and a truly beautiful spot:
Trivia fans may note that this is the wave that features on the original movie poster for Big Wednesday, with legendary charger Greg Noll and his longboard in the foreground. Here’s the original snap, which gives a sense of how Pipe actually looks from ground level and how talented/fearless/mental you need to be to go out there:
Cheers Bingo. Here at Escher Mansions we could watch those shots all day.
