This new FPV drone video goes above and beyond previous takes on the style by flying over the Florida Gators college football team as they take the field -- live and unscripted.
That said, the common denominator of all these films is that while they are all usually done in one take — or are edited to appear as such — they are carefully scripted. As the progenitor of the style, it should come as no surprise then that Christensen has taken it to the next level by using the style to document a college football team taking to the field live, unscripted, and without any chance of a do-over should something go wrong.
In the behind-the-scenes video Christensen posted on his Instagram, he explains why it was challenging: he only got one shot at it. Even though he was able to test out his route ahead of time, the shot would take place at the same time the game would be broadcast on ESPN and in real-time, so there were no do-overs.Everyone from the players to the coach to the broadcast team were aware of what he was doing, which was his only advantage.
Just like his previous videos, the final film called “The Swamp” includes carefully treated audio which removes the buzz of his drone and replaces it with clips that make viewers feel as though they are the ones flying over the team. That mix of FPV and clever audio work is one of the reasons his videos are so successful, and that continues to be the case here.
Christensen and his Jay Byrd Films company seem to have a deal with ESPN, as he recently uploaded another flythrough video that features ESPN College Gameday in Montana, although this one returns to a more staged flythrough approach:
