FRiFF is a drone shorts festival focused on fantastic aerial cinematography, storytelling and the positive uses of drones. By many measures, the inaugural festival was a success. We received over 150 entries from 35 countries across 7 categories. We screened 20 selections and awarded prizes to 14 winners valued at over $10k. A number of well known drone industry companies and startups stepped up as sponsors. We sold out two screenings in San Francisco and took the inaugural program on the road to Australia, Indonesia and the Netherlands earlier this year.</p> <p><figure id="attachment_561708" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-561708" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="wp-image-561708" src="https://i0.wp.com/eddie.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/FRiFF-Full-theater_1000px-300x199.png?resize=600%2C398" alt="FRiFF 2016 World Premiere in San Francisco" width="600" height="398" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/eddie.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/FRiFF-Full-theater_1000px.png?resize=300%2C199&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/eddie.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/FRiFF-Full-theater_1000px.png?resize=768%2C509&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/eddie.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/FRiFF-Full-theater_1000px.png?w=1000&ssl=1 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-561708" class="wp-caption-text">FRiFF 2016 World Premiere in San Francisco</figcaption></figure></p> <p class="graf graf--p">Year two of FRiFF premiered November 17th this year, again in San Francisco at the Roxie Theater. More entries from more countries flooded in as the bar in quality and variety continued to elevate.

This all day event consisted of a series of presentations, talks and workshops on all things drone based aerial imagery. While not as well attended as I had hoped, the caliber and diversity of presentations were stellar. Plenty of lessons learned for next year.</p> <h4 class="graf graf--h4"><strong>Drones For Good</strong></h4> <p class="graf graf--p">Something that doesn’t get a lot of ink in the hype around drones are their humanitarian potential. Drones are being used to <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" href="http://flyzipline.com/product/" target="_blank" data-href="http://flyzipline.com/product/">deliver life saving medicine and blood</a> to rural villages in Rwanda, to <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" href="http://airshepherd.org/" target="_blank" data-href="http://airshepherd.org/">prevent poaching</a> of endangered rhinos and elephants and to <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2016/0611/How-Panama-s-indigenous-peoples-are-using-drones-to-save-the-rainforest" target="_blank" data-href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2016/0611/How-Panama-s-indigenous-peoples-are-using-drones-to-save-the-rainforest">save the rainforests</a> of indigenous lands in Panama. We have a Drones for Good category in FRiFF specifically for highlighting these vital stories.</p> <h4 class="graf graf--h4"><strong>Commercial Drone Operations — FAA Part 107</strong></h4> <p class="graf graf--p">The Federal Aviation Administration oversees manned and unmanned aircraft regulations in the US. The FAA released their long awaited Small UAS Rule regarding commercial drone operations on August 29th, creating a path for drone pilots to legally become certified to fly for commercial purposes.</p> <p class="graf graf--p">I soon decided to become certified as a Remote Pilot by taking the remote pilot certificate exam. It wasn’t very hard but did take a bit of studying. If you’re interested in getting certified for commercial operations, I recommend <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" href="https://3dr.com/faa/" target="_blank" data-href="https://3dr.com/faa/">this resource</a> put together by <a class="markup--user markup--p-user" href="https://medium.com/u/6f86588d03ad" target="_blank" data-href="https://medium.com/u/6f86588d03ad" data-anchor-type="2" data-user-id="6f86588d03ad" data-action-value="6f86588d03ad" data-action="show-user-card" data-action-type="hover">3DR</a>.</p> <p class="graf graf--p">Now that I’m Part 107 certified, I’m able to do aerial drone work-for-hire. I did a fair bit this year, primarily capturing aerial footage for creative production companies and architecture firms. I plan to do more of this in 2017, as well as providing consulting services around commercial drone applications.</p> <h4 class="graf graf--h3"><strong>Looking Toward 2017</strong></h4> <p class="graf graf--p">Drone innovation is accelerating at a breakneck pace. For something that’s really only been a viable option for little more than 3 years, it’s crazy insane how far things have progressed. In 2013, a quadcopter drone could barely find its own way home. Now consumer drones can capture buttery smooth 4k imagery, see objects around them, avoid or track them, fly repeatable mission paths, stay aloft much longer and can almost <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" href="https://www.dji.com/mavic" target="_blank" data-href="https://www.dji.com/mavic">fit in your pocket</a>.</p> <p class="graf graf--p">Of course, drones are used for more than just capturing incredible photos and video.

It’s easy to see why this sport is so addictive and captures the imagination. I’ve built a couple drones for racing but readily admit my stick game isn’t nearly as good as the 20-somethings who live and breath this stuff on a daily basis. YouTube is chock full of masterful FPV racers & freestyle flyers doing their thing.

Not only is this such a cool project, but it gave us the opportunity to come up with creative ways to present Star and her work in the video. The design of the circuit boards, Mims’ books and the workbench setting all lent themselves to visually rich possibilities.
