Earlier this month was the third annual New York Drone Film Festival. The festival showcased some of the best and most innovative work in the world of drone video. It used to be in the world of video that if you wanted an aerial shot, you had to do it from a plane or helicopter. Now, you can get the same shots just using a little drone -- just make sure you're doing everything within the FAA regulations.

Check out some footage from the festival where the latest drone technology was on display; from tiny quadcopters to large drone balloons. Then check out some of the winners from this year's festival below.

TV News’ Original Sin

In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
