(apologies for the double post, just figured out how to edit my previous posts...bear with me!)
True. What's the top speed of a drone these days? 120km/h? I know there's racing drones that can exceed 150km/h, but they're not usually built with production in mind. I'd imagine it probably was the weather that was the deciding factor.
A friend of mine charges €650/700 for a full day's work. But that's the perks of being fully licensed and compliant. Many unlicensed guys still pull in half that. Even at that, they've been a revelation for the indie film sector, allowing for flexibility in shooting styles that otherwise would have required 4x as much equipment and 3x as much finance. On S2 of Luthor, I remember the fun that was had with them - they were used extensively and worked wonders for the value of the production.
Anyway, these Shotover drones are the bees-knees. The Optimus Prime of octocopters.
Also, Rami is still in London. He was at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford yesterday
Yeah, I guess there are drones that can reach fast speeds too. The helicopter rig should at least give some stability for the shoots, even if it's a windy day.
I have closely followed Craig’s style on and off screen. This is only the third time I have ever seen him in a short sleeve button-down shirt. The first two are in CR: the PTS filming (pale blue short sleeve under the dark blue linen suit, seen in shots on set) and the arrival at Ocean Club.
Purely speculative work, mind you. But it would explain how Bond gets the V8, extras and all. And how the Valhalla is used in the film.
BTW, what a great day to be a Bond fan, again ;)
Edit: I'd also recommend people check out the official 007 account's stories.
Edit No.2: New shades for filming
Unlike most pro consumer drones, the Shotover drone doesn't have a problem with wind due to it's weight. But it has a max speed of 65 km/h, so for follow me shots in a car chase, they would have to speed up the frames in post.
Is this his account, @Pierce2Daniel?

Is that the double edged sword when it comes to the extra weight on the Shotover? The weight increases its stability but sacrifices its speed?
Wind on the coast of Norway can be really unforgiving and unpredictable though. But they wouldn't have filmed in that bad weather anyway.
They certainly reached speeds higher than 65 km/h in that sequence, that's for sure.
People are saying its terrific.
Just out of curiosity; could it be modified to go faster?
It's really just Bond stopping the V8 and stepping out of it. Nothing more.
I've downloaded it, but not sure how to share it.
The clapperboard suggests this is in the 3rd act.
Edit: More filming taking place in Southwark tonight!
Perhaps this is Q's flat? Would explain the random bespoke limited edition Aston Martin.
Oberhauser is back playing 007..
:))
Cool ones. What are those? They seem like the ones Craig had while filming Skyfall in Istambul.
