Drones for the Cinematography Industry

The film industry has been using drones to capture difficult takes for some time now, but the process requires at least two experts: one to pilot the drone and one to control the camera angle. This is very expensive and takes long time to achieve. A better solution is to have camera drones behaving like robot vacuum cleaners. To clean a room you don’t specify to the robot the path to follow; you just specify the objective: to have the room cleaned. The robot vacuum cleaner will do the job without more human interaction. A similar approach could be taken with drones used in films. The drone should capture the scenes at its own discretion. The director should not be concerned where the drone is at a specific time.
