Space Monkey Films recently teamed up with Zoox, the self-driving taxi company, to create a dynamic and visually stunning commercial using FPV (First Person View) drones.
“Temperatures were in the triple digits, so we really had to be cognizant of our gear temperatures to ensure safety on set.”
Colby, Pilot
Zoox Hired our team to capture the impressive speed of their vehicle at a race track in California. We utilized our high speed filming drones and leaned on our experience as professional drone racers to keep up around the circuit.
The challenge for Space Monkey Films was to create a commercial that showcased the speed and agility of Zoox’s autonomous taxis, while also highlighting the technology that makes them so innovative. The solution? Use FPV drones to capture dynamic shots from unique perspectives.
The production team worked closely with our team of experienced FPV drone pilots to create a series of shots that showcased the taxi’s performance in a variety of settings. From speeding around Thunderhill racetrack to navigating tight corners, our FPV drones provided a unique viewpoint that traditional camera equipment couldn’t match.
Good exposure on the overall performance of Zoox’s exciting new vehicle.
One of the advantages of using FPV drones for filming was the ability to capture shots in real time without the need for post-production editing. This allowed the production team to review the footage on the spot and make adjustments as needed, resulting in a seamless and visually stunning final product.
