Drones are the new big thing in videography: just mount a camera on one, send it up, and get some footage from angles nobody’s ever seen before. This video, a “goofing around” clip uploaded to Vimeo by Pinpoint Media, manages to get some amazing shots of Cleveland that look like something out of a video game.
Its highlights: a great view of Public Square (the beginning), capturing the construction and overhead view of the Browns stadium (1:25 in) and amusing a seemingly confused family boating in the Cuyahoga River in the Flats (4:35 in).
And check out their dizzying video from Edgewater Park on July Fourth.
