Breeding Ground For Inspiration

The NYCDFF offers a very public platform for film makers from all over the world to exhibit their work. To get an idea for the calibre of talent we're talking about here, check out the video below for some of the work featured at last years festival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T22l_ffT48U&list=PLWa6uO3ZUweBPwqU97m_IiV2vlsRxH4dm The rapid growth and development of kit available is astounding and it's constantly opening up new doors for creativity but what I always find interesting is that it's not just high budget commercials with heavy lift drones that result in great shots, there's also quality shots from the humble DJI Phantom in there operated by the lone enthusiast.
