Get ready to fly! This week, the Frameform team discusses the uses and mis-uses of drone cinematography in dance. They discuss the aesthetics of the drone camera as well as how its associations with military and surveillance affect the way the onscreen image is read. They reflect on the drone’s potential as a dance partner and what differentiates flight as embodiment and flight as spectacle on film.
Clare also provides a small primer for listeners interested in working with drones on their next project (READ: know your fly spaces!!)
