There’s something unique about the roar of a 6.2L V8 supercharged engine echoing through the Polish countryside. While on holiday, I couldn't resist the chance to put the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in front of my drone's lens - specifically, the DJI drone.

Automotive videography is about more than just following a car; it’s about capturing the energy and the intent of the machine.

Why the Drone is the Ultimate Chase Tool

For this short film, I wanted to lean into the drone's agility to mimic the ZL1's aggressive stance. By using low-altitude tracking shots and high-speed orbits, I was able to showcase the car's aerodynamic lines in a way that ground-based cameras simply can't replicate.

In 2026, storytelling in the automotive world has shifted. It’s no longer just about the specs; it’s about the feeling of being in the driver's seat.

Sound On: The Immersive Experience

I have a specific request for this one: Watch with the sound ON. If you really want to appreciate the value of this edit, put on a pair of headphones. I’ve spent time ensuring the audio design matches the visual weight of the Camaro. The way the supercharger whines as the drone dives into the frame creates a sensory experience that is meant to be felt, not just seen.

Technical Nuance & Creative Vision

Filming with a DJI drone while travelling requires a balance of technical precision and creative spontaneity. I had to account for lighting, wind, and the car's speed to ensure every frame told a consistent story of power and freedom. Whether I am working on a professional commercial set or capturing a passion project on holiday, my goal remains the same: providing incredible value through high-impact visual storytelling.

What do you think of the V8's "voice" in this edit? Does it capture the spirit of the ZL1 for you?
