Brain Farm shoots first-ever Ultra HD Phantom Flex4k drone footage

[@Barnacules]

Wow, the batteries on that thing are insane!

[@retartedfreak]

Do you follow me around on KZbin or something? You always seem to be....here

[@gamecreepers]

Barnacules Nerdgasm makes me wonder, How long does the battery last? With that load, Im guessing somewhere around mins...?!

[@DanceFloorOutCast]

David Mark You probably both hang out on gizmodo thats why

[@bigtank2185]

3x 10,000 mah cells, 22.2v Yeah... insane

[@jdiez17]

Wow... that's more than half a kW/h used up in however much time that thing stays on the air... which I'm guessing is not much, probably something like 15 minutes. So that thing is effectively a 166kW/h power supply. Impressive!

[@morganfreeman8208]

That high five at 3:01 though xD

[@Thatoneguyviner]

lol.same here

[@SheHethan]

Loved the cut before the awkward hive five/fist bump at the end.

[@Vylkeer]

This is awesome! Every Movie Company should start using these bad boys, the images are stunning. A real breakthrough for digital Cinema.

[@doublesandtrips]

Vylkeer They can afford real choppers, lol.

[@Vylkeer]

doublesandtrips Well they don't need to since there's this valid, less expensive solution.

[@MrTarheel8]

Hope to see this progressive cinematography utilized in another snowboard film

[@tomclarke1768]

Ehhhhh.....FIVE Years!!!???!!!...FIVE YEARS of planning to film a truck drive through a pond of water!!?? Nothing more spectacular could be found to film???? I'm definitely missing something here.

[@bluetweetts]

yes...but also to build a smart system that is matching with the drone and upgrade the drone to fly because the phantom camera was really heavy:D

[@AndyMoradi]

Dreaming of building something that does that...! Not the truck man.

[@a-g3003]

If only it were here a little sooner, this would of certainly green great on mad max.

[@MiveyzAG]

I agree...You really are missing something. The object on focus means nothing, the detail and clarity means EVERYTHING.

[@ThompterSHunson]

Brain Farm is the company that is dropping some of that badass Snowboard movies RedBull is releasing. Educate more, speak less. Fuckface.

[@time808]

Bad Ass footage, drone engineering & execution. Nice job Gentelmen....Well done.

[@ClarkBrinkley]

OMG yes. Having previously worked with Phantoms that is seriously a beast of a setup. So sick!

[@JasonWD]

How much is crane rental again?

[@gspot65hotmaildotcom]

Jason WD yep not seeing much that couldn't have been done with a crane here. It moves, it doesn't fly (yet)

[@JasonWD]

Maybe I am being a bit harsh, or jealous. I think an example of, maybe a snowboarder in a remote location doing a big rotation over a tree might be a better use case.These guys just wanted to see what the toy could do.

[@TheBigBentley911]

I agree. Seems silly to spend all that money when there are cheaper ways of doing it that yield the same result.

[@SuperKirks]

It's just a proof of concept really. Imagine using this up in the mountains, in real wilderness where you can't get a crane in. Also this thing flies around rather than being immobile.

[@ThisAllSoundsGood]

Jason WD kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZfSfYyKgLSVn7c How much would your crane rental cost to get the same footage that this guy did over Niagara Falls? Oh yeah, and I want you to get all the shots in the same amount time using one guy to set it all up. Because yeah, with a drone it's possible.

[@foshobear]

Haha that awkward high-five/fistbump at the end. You thought no one would see

[@easygoingguy]

You guys got some of the most bad ass videos I have ever seen. The 4k is awesome on my new tv. Love how you have the water flying off the truck in slow motion, looks awesome in 4k. Great work!

[@LeapoldButtersStotch]

Amazing work Mr Morgan & crew. Looking forward to seeing what you can capture Travis Rice doing in the back country with this setup!

[@tobortine]

Amazing video but I'm so glad you got a mysterious stun driving professional, driving through puddles requires a special skill.

[@EposVox]

That was amazing. Now just to get the cost down. Though, for big budget films I guess that isn't too much of a problem. Just have skilled pilots on set!

[@JorgeEscamilla]

"Five years, I've been dreaming of this." really? way to set the bar high.

[@Finnoctane]

Contra-rotating props on a hexacopter drone camera rig...Bloody Nora that's awesome!

[@1989johno]

Also the titanic quotes came in just nicely :)

[@kylenewton6871]

drone shots are awesome, love watching them and love making them

[@ProjectLDR]

Wow! This was amazing. I have seen the Phantom Flex in use, he'll I've used the Phantom Flex! But I never had the idea of stick the 4k version on a drone.

[@KPM8801]

Best video I've watched in a while.

[@vincentrogiest997]

That slow-motion part is amazing.

[@CIRCLEOFTONE]

Great job! I know from experience how heavy they are.

[@AnujaAriyaratne]

Yeah rock that Toyota!! And the drone, of course..

[@JorgeTereso]

Love the fist-palm love at the end. Amazing drone.

[@BrennFilm]

...and every shot could have been made with a crane or dolly. Nice to get it in the air though.

[@ThisAllSoundsGood]

Brenn Film kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIjIlYaXrr9paqM One guy, one drone, one GoPro Hero3. Now I want you to get every shot you see in the video with a crane and dolly, use one guy for everything, and get them in the same amount of time. Nice to have missed the point of the video though.

[@critical]

ThisAllSoundsGood ehm, that´s kind of a.... completely other video?

[@ThisAllSoundsGood]

Critical Yes it is a completely different video, but I'll explain again. The Brain Farm guys worked to build a drone to carry an expensive and heavy 4k camera. Everyone keeps making remarks about how they could've filmed what the Brain Farm guys did with a boom/crane. However, stating the obvious misses the point. Brain Farm wasn't trying to film an amazing video of a car driving through mud, which of course you could do with a boom/crane. They were testing their drone, which took 5 years of effort, to see if it could fly the camera. A very expensive and heavy camera. So for every boom/crane nuthugger who said they could do what Brain Farm did, I put up this alternate video and challenged them to achieve the same shots with their boom/crane using 1 guy and do it in the same amount of time.

[@critical]

ThisAllSoundsGood I can see this setup being used for a long one-take shot with speedramping, sure. Perhaps a few other things as well. But slowmotion isn't really used for big, wide shots.. you want to be close to get the effect.. and if you're close, like in this shot, you can use ways that are safer and cheaper. Faster as well, if you count the 5 years this took :D Let me put it this way, do you see any use for the video you linked to be in 1000 fps? I honestly don't. I might use my Epic to get a little slowmotioneffect and the resolution, but that super high fps would only be cool in a close shot.

[@ThisAllSoundsGood]

Critical You might want to reconsider your opinions that 4k is only useful in closeups, slow motion isn't really for wide shots, and slowmotion is really only what 4k is good for.Surfing Maverick's filmed with a drone at 4k - @4Antarctica/drone/4k - epic Inception score included - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3KUZ6p9q9x5oZZ_eep in mind that the Brain Farm guys are an exception to the rule in terms of cost and time. You can buy a 4k drone right now at B&H in the form of the DJI Inspire for $2900. There are plenty of applications for 4k wide with drones with slowmotion or normal playback as well. Hotels, cities, national parks, ski resorts, action photographers, filmmakers of all sorts...you name it and they've already started using 4k drones to bring attention to the natural or manmade beauty of what they have to offer. Drones give you greater flexibility than cranes/booms, are more cost effective, and efficient. 4k video adds another dimension to the quality of the footage, like watching an Imax film of the great outdoors. Takes only 1 guy to get all those 4k/drone shots too, maybe a couple more for a dedicated controller for flight, camera, and catcher. What type of manpower would it take to replicate the same images in these videos using cranes/booms? How much manpower to do it and at what risks? How much for the materials? Remember, the DJI Inspire is less than $3k and can be operated by 1 person. There's no way you're getting the variety of shots in such an efficient manner with less people by cranes/booms or any other traditional method. Really take a good look at each of these videos and get back to me. Rationale and calm discussion always appreciated.

[@Elchifunnybrey]

This is awesome,I cry from how it's cool.

[@HelmutsMeskonis]

I can't even dream to hold freaking phantom and you actually made it fly :) very, very nice footage! tx

[@MonkeySmoked]

Wow, amazing video and amazing machine... How long you can stay in the air?

[@Jordonwilson]

Awesome!!!!!

[@gravityimage5]

I was kind of waiting for this!

[@Johnsonmediaservice]

Very cool. Awesome work. Persistence pays off!!!

[@varunemani]

A worthy dream for sure. What matters is ofcourse the results were inspiringly beautiful and artistic! KUDOS to a future career.

[@rase306]

What do you do about the noise on the drone? How do you cut it out on a video? Can you effectively cut out all the drone noise and keep the sound of the video clip?

[@Mark-db3sd]

3:00 high five/fist bump fail lol. sick vid

[@WeBeYachting]

Great video, thumbs up. Cheers from Sint Maarten

[@ronchristenson5832]

Very nice craft, nice video as well. I just want to know who developed the flight controller that handles 12 motors?.

[@minor25]

That Professional Stunt Driver Almost Destroy The Car at The End . Awesome video Guys. I love the min 2:06 is so good the almost look unreal. amazing

[@J0lker]

I love your videos, Art of Flight is a masterpiece- i've been following you since watching it. Please keep it up. Congratulations on that, hope to see more of it soon! cheers!

[@JosephCreates]

what is the music sequence here called, its epic?

[@bobbymeyers7043]

Could the same thing be done with a big boom arm?

[@namzio]

i thougth the same haha, this drone is so slow that it makes it fucking useless :D it's all just for show, what a bullshit

[@Paulc771]

Probably in most cases, but the drone would be useful in remote locations or somewhere that it's impossible to put a crane.

[@JoannaGough]

OMG. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS --- TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!

[@dave_dennenmoser]

Dream. Job! Well done guys!

[@george_i]

Nice. But I suppose it will be used indoors, as outdoors could be shaky

[@fredl.c8029]

holy shit...that 4K life doe...

[@marpla78]

freaking nice work ...congrats to all!

[@vittovision]

amazing video !!!!!!

[@KathyLongSEO]

Impressive! You guys are amazing. I wanted to check out your website. Your links here in youtube go nowhere. I'm guessing you went on to bigger and better things??

[@flyframesusa7226]

what was the frame rate on those slomos?? awesome video

[@TechScottBrown]

Awesome work!

[@RadarBoarder]

That piece of digital cinematography equipment is INCREDIBLE! Curt, you and your team are truly pushing the boundries of filmmaking. Couldn't you mount the Phantom Flex4K onto your Schiebel CAMCOPTER? Or was the idea to have a more compact rig?

[@RareStatefilmmakers]

AMAZING GUYS!!!!!!

[@kct1975]

Very Cool!

[@KarelBata]

Impressive! Well done guys. Now I want to see a 3D 4K contra-zoom from a drone. Go on - you can do it...

[@NicksDomain101]

Hello future of cinematography.

[@MEDIAWORXstudio]

Please tell me how you were able to connect 12 of the motors to the flight controller wookong-m? The flight controller wookong-m a total of eight exits on ESC, and it does not support coaxial hexacopter.

[@adrianparris2098]

Nice toys, thanks for sharing!

[@SoulTheArtist]

Man, this, Is, Insane!

[@SatyaS_Pradhan]

you guys are insane man ... I dream to buy one someday

[@MitjaSkuver]

Pretty sure you could count the water drops :) F*ing amazing, well done!!

[@selastican]

IT LOOKS 3D!!

[@samtheking25]

That high five at the end

[@skywalkermunich5157]

Looks great! Keep going

[@clavadetscherfoto]

whenever i think this will be the limit, someone of you guys crack it again! this is insane! i want to see more of this shit!

[@clavadetscherfoto]

...and of course i am waiting for the movieeee!

[@Illegalgmbhl2l8]

hello, nice clip. can i use this for a Video?

[@Peterbyun]

Mm oh k Mm Gas ga hi ! will u visit my drone video ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4nJgmmtmryth80

[@piratewizard7624]

hey so if your having a hard time running 4k you can have a little smoother display at .5 speed in the settings. it looks incredible gentlemen

[@yarone.7061]

WoW man iT is great fantastic Drone

[@TheOgBambam1991]

This looks so dope!

[@ThomasJernberg]

Wow!!! Great work

[@UavnorthCanada]

Nice work!!

[@KienDLuu]

Very friggen cool. But I didn't see a single shot in this that couldn't be achieved with a crane. I guess this was just an initial test shoot. I can't wait to see what can will do with this thing in the future.

[@Jaytee1o4]

Nice work

[@davidwells4969]

Nice finish with a ball and socket

[@dannydakhrisman]

Want to watch the 4k video, but the resolution is too high. My laptop can't handle it. :(

[@ghostofmars83]

Great Video!

[@LimitlessfilmPlus]

awesome!!!

[@qy1276]

3:01 we know an awkward handshake is about to happen

[@midtownstunts]

YES ! I've been dreaming of this... Thank you. Now, how do I acquire one ? :p

[@hydrokat143]

Step 1: Have the money. O.o I don't think I can even do step 1. D:

[@Fusurugi]

Hydrokat "if you have to ask for the price, you can't afford it."

[@MrForestExplorer]

Alex Black Step 1 - Take out a mortgage on your house. Step 2 - buy super expensive high speed camera. Step 3 - make a bunch of cool videos with the Phantom cam and put them on KZbin. Step 4 -Collect ad revenues from KZbin in order to pay the mortgage on the camera.

[@AveragedroneMy]

This is a good stuff. congrats

[@clavadetscherfoto]

...and forget about all the jealous guys here who comment something like "coulden't it have been done with a crane?" or "now you get a drone to load a heavier camera. so what?" these people are not wort it! i saw my first snowboard movie 20 years ago. and i am happy, that brainfarm set a new standard and brought this wonderful scenerys of alaska, south america.... to my home in full hd! so i will be more excited about 4k! and guys: without people like you america would not exist! because without nuts columbus would never have been crossing the ocean! go on!

[@Studiorar]

Excellent quality..

[@SYNFPVPILOT]

Damn sweet! Great job.

[@PATRICKRIDGETV]

Crazy, I thought our Red Epic's 300 FPS Was slow. god damn

[@jokernia]

What kind of controller is used to operate and stabilise that gimbal ???

[@SausyGuyFinn]

Beautiful!

[@droneuk]

that is one amazing looking drone, makes my Phantom 3 Standard look cheap haha. Loving my Drone though. Really cool slow mo

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

How long is the battery life. That is the most important question

[@proaerialdronephotography4258]

what editing software do you use

[@evanhammac6204]

Can you tell me the tech specs on the UAV please? Flight controller especially please.

[@OXSEnterprises]

And here I am crashing my phantom into trees thinking it hurt the wallet!

[@LeonardoGarcia-ou6lp]

amazing...!!!

[@phil1657]

How about 4 cameras?

[@pheonixeye_1162]

2:10 breathtaking

[@tianaproductions5113]

Yes! Our dreams.

[@jahkiley]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[@markokalentic5375]

What would be the fps on the slow motion parts ?

[@CamPayneCam]

Awesome!

[@MKH-hq5eu]

Nice job Asian Harold Ramis!

[@neaneajustinish8105]
