Beer Delivery Service by Drone at DVinfo.net

I shot this video for a popular local brewery here in NZ. It was released as an April Fools Day joke. There is also an extended version (yet to be released) with a lot more aerial footage as the drone journeys from the brewery to the house.

Shot on a Canon C100 with Sigma 18-35 and Canon EF-S 18-135. The drone is an Align M480 carrying a Panasonic GH4 (and a bottle of beer) with 12-35mm f2.8 lens.

I know a few of the shots are less than perfect (it was run and gun with limited time)... and I'm still working on nailing perfect exposure, especially the shots with bright sky to consider. Anyway - feedback appreciated!

Note: If anyone is worried about the drone flying over people (and rightfully so) - rest assured we had strict safety measures in place.

Looks like lots of fun!

The bit that would have worried me is the landing on the table in the middle of the people.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I might have backed the people away from the table a bit and used a longer lens but this was great. Nice job.
