Behind the Scenes FPV Drone footage from Netflix's Day Shift

[@xymaryai8283]

the SHEER amount of spatial awareness you need for these shots and not crash is insane, it is very obvious the amount of experience Tommy has

[@ummagawdFPV]

thank you

[@TheDiegoAranda]

These shots are freaking amazing. Best drone pilot in the world? Quite possibly. Top 10 without any doubt.

[@ummagawdFPV]

🙏🙏

[@mikelbrenn111]

These fpv drone cinematography is bringing movies to another level. Congrats!!!

[@ummagawdFPV]

🤙🤙 Thanks

[@InMyPajams310]

Some of the best fpv content ever. This is nuts. You are living the dream man! Congrats on all the success. Hope this stuff keeps coming. So cool they gave you this access.

[@tshirtfactory07]

Bro, right???!!!

[@jana171]

So true !

[@spoedman]

Hey Tommy, this is awesome. Collect this footage, and make this into a documentary film. Dunno, 90 minutes or so, and I’m sure you could get a wider audience than say “Flowstate”. Maybe team up with a few pals to do a behind the scenes movie, be your own producers. You, Alex, Johnny, Nurk. Man, I would go see that in a heartbeat. And you’d wake up even more directors, expand your client base and also: win some festivals with an innovative take on movie making! Good luck man! You’re doing great!

[@jubfpv]

This is just unbelievably good. I appreciate so much getting a chance to see what it's ACTUALLY like to do this thing that we all dream of. Insane work on day shift dude you're a legend

[@Kman568]

Was watching this movie the other night. I always get excited when I see FPV footage and always curious to know what equipment and who the pilot is. Was happy to see it was you. Great work bro!

[@LouisPFloyd]

This is where the innovation from the hobby takes us….. you rock TT !! #HellYeahFPV

[@JustinormousFPV]

Man this is so inspiring! Literally was cheering and clapping after the crash/explosion shot. So cool!

[@Kabab]

Fantastic work! The movie was actually pretty good too. Might be one of the if not the best movie Netflix has made so far.

[@ummagawdFPV]

Lol at first I was like, “vampires?” And just didn’t know what to expect. But I thought it came out great and funny. Good to see ya Bob

[@collin_fpv]

Thank you so much for making these behind the scenes! Absolutely amazing to see what goes on to make these shots happen. Keep killing it!

[@ummagawdFPV]

🙏🙏🤙🤙

[@FPVenius]

That level of coordination is insane. Great work!

[@MarkAngel86]

When I saw this movie I was pointing excitedly to my wife "That's FPV right there!!" Didn't know you're the pilot, proud of you my dude!

[@MadDragon75]

Thank you Tommy. This is not only fascinating it's absolutely amazing.

[@flipfpv]

You are such a legend, man. You keep advancing fpv in so many ways and never forget where you came from.

[@ummagawdFPV]

🙏🤙

[@juanortega4016]

Reseda is back in the movies🎬 again that was awesome👌👏🏼👍

[@MarcSherwood]

I watched this last night and was wondering about the drone shots. This is so amazing to see the BTS.

[@moretoliving2236]

I have met Tommy in person in 2014-16 era and ended up getting ummagawd vortex 250 pro edition. So so cool that he never changed who he is... you can just see how genuine and invested he is in the hobby and how passionate he is about all this.

[@ummagawdFPV]

Damn you’re an OG! Hehe thank you for that comment. 🙏

[@RGMGFitness]

Keep up the great work! Watched this movie 🍿 over the weekend. And, as soon as I see certain shots…I’m like “..that’s an FPV shot!”. Then I wonder which pilot I follow shot that. Tons of action in this movie. Great stuff! 🍿🍿

[@MadVultureFPV]

This is so cool and you are able to share it, I really appreciate! The sunroof shot was a good one

[@GUILLERMO.NESPOlO]

Welcome to my life for the past 30 years …glad u are hook to your new job

[@ummagawdFPV]

I love it! Coming from the commercial world… I think this is so much better in every aspect.

[@jacobdimick7070]

Aw man, that was so sweet! Can only imagine how it was being able to fly

[@TheTomJon]

Thank you for being a positive influence on the film making community by representing drones so well with your skills and creativity!

[@ummagawdFPV]

Thanks! Fun fact... my middle name is John,.. So I'm a TomJon too lol

[@TheTomJon]

@@ummagawdFPV Are you serious? Mine is actually John too but "jon" is easier for branding. Damn. What up name twin 🤣 so cool

[@KingFPV]

This is excellent, dude! Congrats on top tier FPV excitement.

[@rcrdps8144]

Just watched it last night. Your shot at 3:13 here, I was like "I wonder who in our community got to fly that one?". Then recognized the title in your vid today. Pretty awesome gig! Great movie too.

[@Znatnhos]

Dude, these behind the scenes vids about serious cinema piloting... 🔥

[@ductgoosefpv]

Congrats on making it big buddy. You deserve it. You've given back to the community in a big way and put the time and work in. TO DA MOON! Hopefully follow in some of you legends footsteps someday perhaps pave my own road in the fpv highway . Much love from Manitoba, Canada

[@ummagawdFPV]

Thanks Ductgoose and wuddup Canada!

[@helibladerunner74]

I agree with the speodman comment about making a documentary. I am constantly trying to explain to people that do not fly FPV just how cool this is and guys that do what you do show the world the ultimate use of it. A documentary would be awesome. Great footage , and great flying as always. Your videos even years ago inspired me to get my first FPV race drone the Vortex 230 Mojo and I still find the sport so fascinating. Good stuff

[@ummagawdFPV]

Dang you’re an OG! Thanks for the comment

[@skyworx524]

Your a Lucky Man , What a Great Opportunity and fantastic Debut film to work on. Can only get better .

[@ummagawdFPV]

I am 💯 lucky and remind myself of that everyday. 🙏🤙

[@phranknstein]

So sick Tommy! Huge congratulations on landing this job, can't wait to see what's next!

[@CharlesVanNoland]

Day Shift was super fun. I feel like Netflix has recognized the position they're in with other studios creating their own streaming services. I think they're stepping up their game, hard. This movie demonstrates it to be true. :D

[@hughnelson7492]

Nice to see who did the Drone work in the movie. Were able to tell watching. The street transfer at the 4L30 mark in this video seams easy I'm thinking but was one of my favorite flight shots in the film

[@KaossFPV]

congrats man , that's an epic experience

[@KKTHXFPV]

lol my fam had like a mini game watching daywatch, yelling out "ooh fpv shot!" whenever we noticed one. Appreciate the behind the scenes, great job!! 💯

[@deadlazlo]

Nice work Tommy! Glad you’re getting the cool jobs. We all get to live vicariously through you…

[@ummagawdFPV]

Trying to live it out while I can! (And make videos about it when I can lol)

[@donnienorton7341]

Awesome Tommy! Looks like you had a blast and got paid!

[@fpvattitude8163]

Finally I know who shot the fpv ..you did an amazing job

[@ummagawdFPV]

thanks man!

[@scrimdog3328]

Literally going to watch the film just to see if I can see your shots Tommy. Represent brother FPV👊👍🔥

[@baggszilla]

Tommy you are amazing! This put a huge smile on my face the whole time watching buddy! Cheers!

[@mx118racer]

I thought I saw some fpv shots in the previews to this show . Nice to see fpv being used more often !!

[@theflyinggrip]

As someone who lives on set most days, not really a better place to be…best place and job. Lovin the content dude!

[@ummagawdFPV]

#setlife I just have to be careful to not gain weight 😂 crafty is too easy lol

[@theflyinggrip]

@@ummagawdFPV Man, I have gone weeks without having to cook or stock food because of crafty and our meals. 😆 What rigs and video downlinks are you using when you have a komodo or similar payload. The new DJI Transmission looks really promising, especially on a gimbal lifter.

[@hydrojedi]

It's great to see you reaching that level of success! Keep raising the bar and stay cool!

[@ummagawdFPV]

🤙

[@supfpv]

this was awesome, well done and thank you for the inspiration. hope to see more of this. also i was watching this movie wondering who the pilot was and this was a trip finding out after. thank you

[@DoubleA_AMAfpv]

My son and I just watched this movie last night, Ummagawd. He was the one actually pointing out drone shots. Cool to know the drone pilot in this cool film!

[@ummagawdFPV]

Cool of your son to recognize! 🙏🤙

[@DoubleA_AMAfpv]

Right! Made me proud.

[@dwade_fpv]

Tommy man...you never fail to impress...you've been one of my main inspirations for years. Keep bringing the hot content!

[@ummagawdFPV]

Kind words! thanks DWade

[@PKNEXUS]

Some great shots, can't wait to see what's next for you.

[@lesourire511]

It's great to see so much bts ... great pr for them, so I hope you can share even more from other sets in the future. Fascinating!

[@ummagawdFPV]

I try!

[@kelvinwolf225]

So sick! The movie was a blast and the drone shots were killer. About time you got onto one of these. Keep em coming Tommy! Oh and I have a question for this shoot and all future bts videos. What quads did you fly and what was your total flight time on each throughout the shoot? That would be some cool info to know

[@ummagawdFPV]

Aside from the sunroof shot, everything was on a komodo carrying cinelifter (banshee design). As for flight time… I was going through maybe 8-10 packs a day just depending on what was being shot that day

[@ScorpioVI]

@@ummagawdFPV I ended up watching the movie because of your BTS. It was a fun ride, and enjoyed it even more because of your drone shots. Finally a movie that knows how to use drones (looking at you Gray Man). The head-on shot of the car launching off the Prius was insane, I would've shat myself if I saw that thing coming at me in the goggles. 😂 Great job bro!

[@sn4kedoc7or]

Awesome, it looks like you had a lot of fun. The footage that made it into the film was mega too.

[@skyline412drones]

Those were some amazing shots. The changing between targets during chases is something only done with a drone...so cool.

[@AgroAaronFpv]

absolutely incredible!! Super stoked to see you getting gigs like this, absolutely killing it!! 🤘

[@ummagawdFPV]

Thanks 🤙🤙

I saw this last night and was freaking out about the fpv shots! Great job 👍

[@ummagawdFPV]

thanks man!

[@renerjose4753]

amazing flight boss! even if they snipped most of your material, this video is entirely a class act on its own. cheers!

[@lambo_drives]

I've been on the fence for watching this movie but YOU are the catalyst driving me to fire it up. - awesomeness

[@ummagawdFPV]

I think you’ll find it funny at the very least

[@lambo_drives]

@@ummagawdFPV it was worth a few chuckles, and knowing what went into the shots making it "old-skool-new" with live action vs CGI (thanks in part to your abilities and tech) was TREMENDOUS and brought it all together. keep it up; can't wait to see some more action, thanks!!

[@pksteffen]

Super cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@princesfpvdrones]

Totally fascinating to see what goes on behind the scenes! Thank you for sharing!

[@craigsaunders3532]

Speechless, This just cements what a brilliant pilot you are, Well done and Thanks. PS more on the folding drone?

[@ummagawdFPV]

Thanks! Yes folding drone is getting some finishing touches. Will put out an update soon

[@yarbsfpv]

yooooooooo that in car sunroof fly out shot is so good.

[@ummagawdFPV]

One of my faves, idea was all JJ Perry. He’s got that wild cowboy vision, I love it

[@tykelly310]

First off beautiful flying! I watched the movie last night and the first thing I did after it ended was try to look up who was flying the fpv. Thank you for the behind the scenes and congratulations on the movie!

[@tykelly310]

Oh and what drone is that?

[@ummagawdFPV]

thanks man! Flying a banshee for the komodo stuff... the sunroof shot was a gopro/squirt

[@BMan_FPV]

So freakin cool Tommy!! Love goin on the ride with ya!🤘🤘🤘

[@jgrudnicki]

Congrats on the contract and thank you for sharing this experience with us. Very interesting and very entertaining! 👍

[@ummagawdFPV]

glad you think so. It's hard to get BTS on these things, but hopefully I can. get to a point where I have my own BTS

[@OLCtv]

I've always loved video but u the reason I love it on this level...my creativity went up cause of fpv and drones in general. Those bikes in that alley like area, anything there always takes me back too terminator 2 👍🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks 💯

[@keitheckert4759]

Amazing footage! I was blown away watching Day Shift with the villain car through sunroof shot. If you ever get a chance a video about how you got hired for the film and tips on how to get jobs/career pathway would be so appealing to my students at Manchester Township High School in NJ. We would also love to hear your opinion on the best drone shots in films; Day Shift just made #1 on my list: 1-Day Shift, 2 - Jurassic World, 3 - Skyfall, 4 - The Greatest Showman and 5- Expendables 3.

I was watching this movie with my dad and then all of a sudden... BOOM An fpv shot!!! I freaked out lol because I didn't even know there was fpv shots in this and I ended up staying behind to watch the credits to figure out who the pilot was! It's amazing that fpv has come this far to the point where Im watching a movie and theres an fpv shot without me even knowing!

[@Rcschim]

That's really nice! We watched this friday night and enjoyed it. Nice action movie. But the moment we noticed the really good drone shots I was wondering if I know the pilot. And now I saw the BTS shots! Crazy small world! ;) Top job Tommy! I notice the connections there (didn't you work on a commercial with Snoop in it?) They for sure have your name on the A-List of drone pilots already - and well deserved so! greets and thanks for the BTS shots on how such a movie is made!

[@ummagawdFPV]

Hey Mario! Haha yes I’ve worked with snoop on the superbowl commercial. But I actually didn’t get to meet snoop on this one. Just Jamie and his stunt double.

Super fun video! I have camera tech question... why would they shoot a 270 degree shutter at 40fps instead of something closer to 90 degrees? Is the reasoning so that when its sped back up to 24p, its equals 180 degree better?
