Drones are a great visual tool for the wide, establishing shot. They help put a different perspective on things.
You can also follow the action in a unique way – and from a different angle than with your camera on the ground.
I got my drone pilot’s license nearly a decade ago. I use drones whenever I can in the storytelling. I take one with me on jobs everywhere and use it whenever possible.
