Red Epic + Flying drone = This sort of geek math you cannot help but wish you’d provide you with yourself. German VFX company OMStudios decided to mount Red’s super-camera right into a custom Octocopter to record footage in resolutions as much as 5K. As cool because the setup is, there is a practical purpose: not just is it far cheaper than renting a crane, it may also climb as much as 150 meters — making it just high enough to fly over Hollywood’s tallest man, Tom Cruise. Since it’s highly unlikely we’ll ever get to play with the sort of, we’ll just need to point you to the video after the break and hope that no catastrophic power failures come about halfway through any real-world shoots.
