This impressive drone video makes real life look like a video game


Even though drones are becoming illegal in more and more places, there’s already an amazing amount of great footage shot from the air, like this video shot in Utrecht, the Netherlands about two years ago.

It’s especially impressive to see when the combination of stabilized video and great flying skills make it look like real life is a video game. In the above video by Robert McIntosh a drone flies through (almost) two buses perfectly, before hitting an obstacle and falling down.

The fly-through is most reminiscent of sweeping shots from feature films or the hovering of a camera in a digital space — but in real life!

Let’s hope that future drone filming won’t exclusively be used for informative videos like new shots of Apple’s second campus, but also for eye candy like this.
