Filmmakers build huge drone to recreate Star Wars Death Star attack scene

I’ve seen (and bought) my fair share of Star Wars gadgets and toys. But the guys from FliteTest have taken Star Wars gadgets to a whole new level. They built their own giant Death Star drone to recreate the attack scene. But this one has a slightly different flow and ending, and if you are […]

Don’t be a zombie photographer – Use your brain and find your soul

This is one of those posts that’s going to divide people. Some will love it and completely agree with everything said.
