2021 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 2

Multiple Drone Video of the Week Winner FrameworkFilms is a pioneer in the dronelapse technique, in which thousands of aerial photos are stitched together to create a "fast forward" view of the world.  In this outstanding reel, you'll see the highlights of their work in 2020, almost all of which was shot in the USA.  Notable locations include San Francisco; Nashville; Santa Barbara, California; Los Angeles; Denver; Minneapolis; Laguna Beach, California; the Colorado Rockies; Chicago; Paris (France); Seattle; and Atlanta. This video was a DVOY finalist in 2021. 

Vitaliy.karpovich is one of the top content creators in the AirVuz community, with multiple Drone Video of the Week/Month wins and nominations to his name.  In this magnificent piece, he used a drone to film a small herd of horses ascending the famous White Rock (Aq Qaya), a chalk formation in the Crimea region of Southern Russia.  The top of the rock rises to a height of about 100 meters (around 330 ft.) over the Biyuk-Karasu River.  The unique shape of the rock is a function of the unusual erosion patterns of the region.  

Chelyabinsk is the second-largest city in the Urals region of Russia, after Yekaterinburg.  Seen here in this excellent drone video by CINEMADRONE, it's situated on the Miass River, near Russia's southern border with Kazakhstan.  Founded in the 1700's, the city became a key junction on the Trans-Siberian Railway in the late 19th century.  It later became one of the key centers for industrialization in the Stalinist period, and during World War II Chelyabinsk served as one of the USSR's most important cities for arms production.
