I wish the Bond23 producers would take note of these <a href="
They are able to send a model aircraft at high speed anywhere they want and take a movie from the plane's view. This stuff is better than CGI, have a look how they fly through the alps and follow the landscape closely. I can think of a hundred uses in a Bond movie (including letting it fly along the Great Wall...). What do You think?

(For the technology savvy among you: They built their own delta wing model plane that can be remote controlled over up to 15 km and navigates by relaying hi-res stereo images to a head-on display of the guy with the RC in real time. Technically, it's a drone with added recording camera that can maneuver under bridges, through tunnels, through forests, down ski jumps etc.)

    It does open up a lot of possibilities I suppose. Good find, @zebrafish!

    Wow, looks great! I guess the problem with it will be to restrict oneself, so that not the whole film is shot with it ;-) .
