AMAZING DRONE FILM

As drones become more prevalent in our lives, people are using them in new and creative ways. This new technology has allowed aspiring film makers to get camera shots and panoramic views that only the big Hollywood production studios could afford to shoot in the past. There is even the New York City Drone Film Festival which recognizes the best of these new drone films. Some of the vistas from these films are nothing short of stunning. This film spoke to me because of the content. It’s of the Russian ghost town Pripyat/Chernobyl. The scene of one of the worst nuclear reactor meltdowns in history which happened in April of 1986. The area was evacuated immediately because of the radiation leaking from the reactor core and has been left to be reclaimed by nature since then. It is haunting to watch and a reminder of the toll humanity takes on Mother Earth.
