Last week I was asked to be in a video at my school. Being in promotional material seems to be something I get to do as a Respect Intern. I'm also on a "Get Involved" poster at the school.
Video was pretty basic in terms of my involvement. They just got me to walk down a sidewalk with two other people, having a conversation while a couple of people walked past us from the other side, doing the same thing. Basically, I just acted as atmosphere.
The way they shot it was interesting though. They had a drone with four propellers fly above us with a camera. It was pretty Star Wars. They warned us not to look at it, and said it would sound like a swarm of bees flying overhead.
But it sounds more like a chainsaw and when it's slowly flying toward you and you've never seen the drone in flight, it's impossible not to glance. So we all did and had to retake the shot.
Second time around, we had to take it again because it was apparently hovering over my head. That put me off a little, the implication that they weren't in full control of these four spinning blades hovering above my head, which I'm not allowed to look at.
Third take and we got it. Afterward, though, they lost control of the drone and it flew sideways into a tree and carved up a branch. I got out of there at my first opportunity.
