How Did Emirates Get THAT Drone Shot? Real or Fake? Behind the Scenes!

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

Incredible production. Thanks for the explanation, Sean.

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Kris! Thank you sir! You are right, the production to gain a thirty second advert is amazing!! Although to be fair, the viral reaction has shown it is worth the effort! Hope you are well.

[@A_Bit_of_Thought]

At 2:40, I would not be surprised if Nicole has been the only person to actually stand ON TOP of the tower. If such a scenario is true, Nicole would be the highest person off the ground on a man made structure. Guiness Book Record anyone?

[@philhechle5175]

Really interesting video Sean, I was actually expecting it to be green screen, amazing to have the inspire 2 up that high…..wow.

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Phil! Hope you are well. Yes amazing! It would be great to see a behind the scenes look at the drone work. We have reached out the to film crew.

[@MaverickJunior175]

No words can tell how I appraise all those involved in this wonderful footage of all ages.. A real beautiful everything that many don't believe it's real.. Special thanks to my super heroine Nicole Smith-Ludvik... 👏👏👏👏🌷🌷🌹🌹🌺🌹💐🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Unamamaconmundo]

Amazing!!!! Great explanation ☺️☺️☺️

[@Geeksvana]

Thank you! 😃

[@tomburke5311]

It’s a great ad and the follow-up (with the A380) is even better. I believe there is one area in which digital imaging was used, however, and that’s the text on the placards. She only had two placards - if you look carefully you can see that one of them has a bent upper corner, and that one keeps appearing with different writing! I imagine the digital text was added to allow the advert to be used in different markets with different messages. No need to reshoot!

[@paulmurray4106]

Fantastic, Thanks For Showing How It Was Done ......

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Paul! Great to see you. Hope you are well. Appreciate you taking the time to comment and all your support as a channel member.

[@maxair420]

Awesome vid Sean 👍🏽

[@Geeksvana]

Cheers Maxair420! Appreciate your kind feedback, hope you are well!

[@DaveGardner64]

I thought it was fake. Thanks for putting me right...Brilliant

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Dave Gardner! I was surprised myself. Amazing work.

[@barcaarticle7592]

You can see the world rotates, don't even mention to look down, dangerous. What a brave woman.

[@jlanetman]

This was a great explanation. Thank you….

[@Geeksvana]

Thank you Randy!

[@ViewsofCornwall]

Wow. Brilliant video Sean

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Jeremy! Thank you sir! Appreciate your kind feedback. Hope you are well.

[@neilbarnesphotographer]

Wow! Just wow 😮

[@Geeksvana]

My thoughts exactly. Brave work for an advert!

[@flyingthroughhistory7211]

Wiw, I would have thought a mixture of greenscreens and a drone flight pull back from ground level

[@BrantAerials]

Amazed!

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Gary! Yes, simply amazing!!

[@casparroofingchannel]

Wow

[@lhetfrancevlogger]

Just wow!!!! 🤗 and hey it’s a woman 😍🥰🤩🥳

[@stewartrowley1]

What a gutsy lady.Wow ,that's my worst nightmare.

[@pdtech4524]

Incredible video! I'll ask my wife if she wants to help me recreate that shot on the chimney of our house with my Mavic Mini? ⚠️😯😁

[@Geeksvana]

Hey PD Tech! We need some parody versions of this video! Chimney sounds like a good start 😂.

[@geokeo3592]

Perhaps you could find a high point in Helsinki and repeat the ad Sean.

[@Geeksvana]

Hmmm... Might need to build a stronger platform 😅. But great idea! Thanks Geo Keo!

[@DroningaboutIreland]

Very cool 👍

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Droning about Ireland (still love the new name!) It is soooo cool isn't it. They deserve the amazing reaction to this advert. What's next though?

[@DroningaboutIreland]

@@Geeksvana what's next, maybe an fpv drone diving the Burj?

[@Zone_Stomper]

That's a tough woman. Besides being a an accomplished skydiver, she almost died from injuries resulting from an auto accident where she was a passenger in one of the vehicles involved. Very impressive.

[@MarysLambProductions]

It was a Mavic 2 Zoom according to the drone operators IG page

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Mary's Lamb Productions, thank you for the info! It wouldn't be the first time the press release had the wrong info, especially about drones...

[@MarysLambProductions]

Would be more believable that it was done with a higher capacity drone like an Inspire. Super impressive they did it with the zoom.

[@lizmonard]

I feel sick and dizzy just watching this video!

[@JimBoshart]

I was thinking about doing a video of me on top of Mia Khalifa ??? Wudda think, I'll need a cameraman?

[@Geeksvana]

Umm.... Not sure Mia will sign up for that 😂😂

[@Ukcanary]

Weather was not an issue at least, imagine doing that on top of the Shard

[@Geeksvana]

Having taken part in abseiling from a building alongside the Shard, I can confirm the British weather would have made this a very different advert!

[@ilovesuisse1]

It’s not fake, i saw an interview with the lady who did this stunt, Nicole Smith-Ludvik, she’s a stunt woman, she teaches sky diving in Dubai.

[@mikehrenak1390]

That was way kool air2 s army out

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Mike! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Air 2S army out...

[@rubinhodrone9204]

Passando para prestigiar aquele super like 🤜🤛🙏

[@jacquesdupreez2146]

Info is wrong. It was a helicopter with a gimbal camera

[@YellowRoseDrones]

So, green screen, or for real?

[@Geeksvana]

The answer is in the video... 😂

[@El_Smeghead]

I'd have wanted a parachute under that uniform!

[@Geeksvana]

Hey El Smeghead! Yeah, I think she must have felt different being that high without one! Hats off to then though. Amazing work!

[@mkbaharris]

and a nappy!

[@Geeksvana]

Yes!!! Great idea Matthew. Whenever a parachute could be needed... Pack a nappy too 😂😂

[@PeterPrestonUK]

I’m not sure why they thought a skydiving instructor would be “safer”; it’s not like she’s jumping off, or even holding on.

[@Geeksvana]

Yes good point Peter. Perhaps her general ability to expose herself to such a height might have been a plus point. Although being in a perfectly safe plane and climbing up a building are very different things of course. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@PeterPrestonUK]

@@Geeksvana well speaking as somebody who has developed a vertigo reaction to watching high places, I have nothing but awe and respect for anybody brave enough to stand there, even with a harness. When I first saw it I assumed they’d been lowered into place from a helicopter and filmed from it too. I wonder where the drone pilot was.

[@Geeksvana]

That would be interesting to know. We have reached out to the company who flew the drone.

[@Zone_Stomper]

I think they picked her because this is within her comfort zone. If it was a nervous critter up there at the top, the emotions would have made for a less impressive video.

[@princemoktan1]

Top of the world is not burj khalifa plz come to Mt. Everest and this is in Nepal

[@birgitulsahs4318]

Real

[@markcornwall8132]

Would really like this recreated with Boris atop the Shard. What could go wrong!!

[@Geeksvana]

Hey Mark! That sounds like an interesting plan 😂

[@PRESIDENT_RAY]

333 claimed by the ONEE

[@richardwalsh1838]

This is fake, that poor girl stool on top of a stepladder on the ground harnessed up and pretending to be on top of that building, the behind the scenes shots simply confirm this is fake.

[@enigmabunny1]

There’s stupid, then there is Richard Walsh 🙄

[@JhonnyKnoxville-ff9wb]

It was not a drone shot. It was done from a helicopter. 💯%

[@Geeksvana]

There were drones used 💯% 😂
