[NSFW] Filmmakers Used Drone to Shoot Porn

Drones have been the topic of debates because of issues with privacy and voyeurism. But it’s that exact conflict that inspired Brandon LaGanke and his crew over at Ghost+Cow Films to make the world’s first drone-shot porn which is conveniently dubbed as Drone Boning.

The combination of breath-taking landscapes, beautifully-timed aerial shots, and obligatory sensual music makes this almost three-and-half-minute-long film looked more like a clip from a NatGeo than your typical too-close-for-comfort porn.

Even LaGanke and his partner John Carlucci seem to agree with our observation. During an interview, LaGanke told Motherboard that he “would never shoot a real porn like this”. “If you can’t masturbate to it, man, it’s not a good pornography film,” he adds.

For his part, Carlucci said that they “wanted to see the artistic value of this perspective.” He continued “It’s an omniscient point of view, really. We did these shots in places where you couldn’t see much from the ground, but then you put a drone in the air and you can see what’s happening.”

Apart from getting in trouble with the local authorities while shooting the beach scene, Carlucci said that everything went smoothly during the shoot. “The rest was pretty easy, we got into a routine and had a good team that was fluid with the execution.”

With the help of their kick-ass drone, the team was able to shoot the film using a Panasonic GH4 – a videography-centric mirrorless camera that can shoot 4K videos right off the bat.

Department of National Defense to acquire drones

The Department of National Defense (DND) are set to acquire drones to bolster the Philippine Marine’s surveillance, security, and search rescue operations in the country.

The DND’s Php684 million Marine Forces Imagery and Targeting Support System Acquisition Project lists six unmanned aerial vehicles in addition to nine sets of target acquisition device sub-systems, 12 kits of tactical sensor integration sub-systems, and an integrated logistics support package to be acquired. These will be used by three Marine brigades in Sulu, Central Mindanao and Palawan.

Mind you that these drones won’t be fair weather flyers like the Parrot AR Drone and other DIY drones that you see on the internet. These are more likely to be small and lightweight, hand-launched types that can operate in harsh environments. One example is the RQ-11B Raven by Aerovironment which was featured in the 2012 movie Act of Valor.

“It will serve as our eye in the sky without the risk of personnel casualty,” said Lt. Commander Gregory Fabic. “Since a drone has a camera, the area to be covered by reconnaissance operations will be wider. It can also help us detect missing persons.”

Companies can now start submitting their bids for the project with a deadline set on January 6, 2014.
