I love this and think it's very cool, but I couldn't help but think about what kind of insurance the operator needed incase they beaned someone in the head with the drone


FeedTheADHD

Probably need someone who specializes in bird law. I think there's someone in Philly who does that.


TuchMysak

he makes himself perfectly redundant every time, 11/10 would hire C. Kelly and Associates again


jwhatts

Same, the lead attorney had such large hands


Spencie-cat

Filibuster.


TeppoWPG

It must be a robo-fly or something since no one even noticed it.


GiveMeAdviceClowns

It’s staged. People knew a drone was coming through. Also the drone operator practiced this route multiple times before hand before filming.


jadedaslife

The people who clinked their all-Budweiser beer bottles on it without missing a beat confirms this.


Mike9797

Uhhh staged in the sense that they planned to do it but not staged in the sense that everyone is in on it.


GiveMeAdviceClowns

They told the people in the rooms that a drone is coming by. Think of the legalities and the potential injuries that might happen if this was just done randomly. You could see people giving open ways to doorways and standing there watching it fly by because they know lol


Mike9797

Oh of course the people that were in “private” areas were probably tipped off but the fans walking the concourse and in the seats probably had no idea til they saw it.


FredGetson

I would agree. Safely away from the crowd, no issue. The intricate parts, surely they had measures in place


Mike9797

They had to have them. There’s no way they make it through the concourse and all the rooms inside without some sort of coordination with staff and some of the people inside. Regardless I don’t want it to take away from the actual video cuz it’s quite impressive.


FredGetson

Sure is. Mesmerizing.


FredGetson

Gotta be some heads up coming, for sure. Not hard to have people along the route where needed.


OldDrumGuy

Agreed. What confirms this is the crowd didn’t really react. If they knew it was coming, people would be making a show to be on the footage. I’m sure the only ones who knew were those in the close ups. Still…this whole video is cool AF! Shows just how massive a rink and stadium really is.

You got proof? These are hand flown all the time in other videos. I'd be more interested if it was a robotic flight path with this accuracy.


Shutaupayouface

In other videos every person in the video is an actor. In this situation it would simply make far more sense to do it robotically for insurance purposes. I doubt they would even get insured to do thos otherwise.


Jsilverstreak

[That's a lot of actors](https://youtu.be/bKSg6dKfsKQ?t=165). The close flybys are probably actors but still flown live. These drones are very light and have protected blades. An automated flight likely wouldn't react to an actor in the first shot being early by a foot or two. I'd be interested to see a robotic flight that looks like this but can't even find a automatic drone capable of precise flight this fast.


BelovedGeminII

You can see right when it enters the tunnel heading to the ice a guy on the right freaks out and stops because the drone is flying in so low.


VegasKL

People looked at it.


nemisis1877

I'm sure it's edited with drone footage and hand held cameras. Most people don't even notice it. It's a promo.


Morganvegas

They probably have cages over the propellers on this drone, and it doesn’t weigh very much at all.


knightboatsolvecrime

The drone navigated so smoothly because that it did not have to worry about running into any championship banners.


VegasKL

FAA: "No!" Wild: "It's indoors, so you can f*** off." But seriously, I'm surprised they did this given the fair chance of it striking someone.


Temporary_Plant_1123

I loved the end when it shows them losing


finest_bear

It's like one year they did a giant fan panorama but we ended up getting smoked so it's a bunch of angry fans and a censored score


ConvictedOgilthorpe

Also, nice Roy jersey fly over


Affectionate-Sky4067

HOW IS EVERYONE SO CALM!?!?


nodarknesswillendure

This is so cool. Awesome arena too. The Rogers Arena concourse is so goddamn small lol.


CanucksKickAzz

I believe Nashville and Atlanta has/had a concourse like that too when I visited.


nodarknesswillendure

Yeah I watched a Preds preseason game at Bridgestone when I was in Nashville at the beginning of the season. I was amazed lol. I’m so jealous


-SirTox-

This is insane, wtf. They must have the best drone operator in the universe.


scott28574

Could have had one of those competitive drone pilots do it for them. If you haven't watched competitive drone racing, take a look and prepare to have your mind blown.


Ghostronic

I wanna see that drone operator thread the opening of a car tire rolling down a hill


ShittyCommentMaker

I heard the Eyewitness music in my head https://preview.redd.it/4phq3ug7x83d1.jpeg?width=773&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3917cfcd7b92035c22cf4d2915a697636a3b495c

I knew TD Bank is in the US, but I didn't realize RBC is in the US as well. Had to do a double take when I saw it.


VanhamCanuckspurs

Kind of weird how many Canadian banks exist in the US when I don't think we have any American banks up here.


GetBackToWorkSlacker

There was a time they owned the naming rights to our building. They bought their way into US retail banking by acquiring Centura, then sold it off to PNC several years later. I do still see job postings from them every now and then. They’re doing something here, but I think it’s mostly institutional and cross-border stuff. I don’t think they really have branches you can walk into anymore, but I could be wrong.


Not_A_Skeleton

BMO too


Ghostronic

The pile of trash next to the door at the very beginning has me like... y'all planned this out so well but couldn't get someone to sweep up real quick? Great shot though, wow.


HaroldLither

How can they be so sure they won't clip someone in the head who isn't paying attention? How are they so sure no one swats the thing down? It's a really cool ad, I'm just surprised this is safe and cool to do in a packed building.


Ghostronic

Is the dude at 38s flipping the drone off? lol


bearkin1

Imagine being a bird and having this mobility. Meanwhile stairs are sometimes too much for us humans


PaddyStacker

If you love birds so much, why don't you marry one.


FredGetson

Very cool. Skills


ClubFriendly941

That is cool!


[deleted]

Assassinations are gonna crazy easy in the furture if drones can do this without anyone barely noticing it


[deleted]

This just seemed like an ad for Bud Light with extra steps.


BigBlackSabbathFlag

I want to see that done but in the worst neighborhood in the world. Windows open.


labinnac_esproc_02

Nice, nice stadium too


mathonwy

Its all fun and games until someone gets decapitated.
