Drone Racing Becomes a Neon-Filled Video Game in This High-Octane Video
‘Tron’ comes to airborne reality.
In contention for this year’s GoPro Awards for action filmmaking excellence is this dazzling display of deft drone piloting at night by one Tony Thompson at the Phoenix Cup. The setting is something straight out of Tron — a neon-filled circuit that is only enhanced by the addition of HUD prompts and speed readings in post-production. Providing a breathtaking look at the lightning-quick reaction speeds of the top drone pilots, the already impressive task of winning second place at this intense competition is only compounded by the fact that this was done in the dark of night. Enjoy the video above.
