After obtaining all the necessary authorizations to fly his toy, the videographer walked the streets of Reims and multiplied the shots. “Its not always easy, says Rabih. For example, when I was circling the drone around the towers of the Cathedral I had to pay attention to two things: the birds, and also make sure to always have an eye on the machine from my position. We are not allowed to watch only the video return screen.”
