radioguy1007 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 This is not a private display but the Rotary Lights display in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. The rotary there puts this on and it is free to drive through but they do ask for food or cash donations for the local food pantry's. As to how this display was shot - now this is classy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ons1hSNNF_8&sns=em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iflights Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Stunning! Thank you for posting it. Wonder if I can get a helicopter over my display without the neighbors complaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Batzdorf Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Try a drone with a gopro on it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrymac Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Looks like the Wisconsin one was done with a drone rather than a conventional helicopter. landing a large helicopter near a horse drawn sleigh is a real no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viennaxmas Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Try a drone with a gopro on it.. It kind of work... The GoPro has too much of a wide angle lens and is not too good in handling dark environments. But - I have to say, flying the drone over the display drew more attention than the display itself.... Including hitting a parked car this year :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainyoregonchristmas Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have a good friend with a company that does drone photography and video. He also is a professional lighting designer/programmer. So not only could he shoot your display, he could program it with mad lighting skills. I helped him in college in the theater as one of his lackeys climbing in the rafters, changing gels and gobos. Here's a link to an article about his company: http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/news/2013/03/27/aeroxoom-opens-commercial-drone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santas Helper Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I would like to get one of those drones/camera some day when the budget allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
