This has to be the best use for drones ever and you can almost hear “Help me R2, you’re my only hope!” running through your head as the video starts to play.
The guys at CorridorDigital teamed up with the amazing drone pilots from Rotor Riot to bring us one of the most amazing drone videos we’ve ever seen. Mixing terrestrial and drone footage, along with a dose of miniature and VFX work results in this epic battle for air supremacy.
On July 26, 2015, William H. Merideth was enjoying the afternoon with his daughters in the backyard of his Hillview, Kentucky home when they noticed a drone flying around the neighborhood. When the drone finally made it’s way over Merideth’s property, he was armed and ready to shoot the device out of the sky, which he did with a shotgun he procured from his house as the drone was making it’s way over.
He was promptly confronted by the drone owner/operator, David Boggs, who ended up calling the police on Merideth. Merideth was arrested and charged with first degree wanton endangerment and criminal mischief for firing a shotgun into the air. He was released the following day.
