Not long ago, the kinds of astonishing shots seen in “Aerial NYC” would have cost thousands of dollars. Now, thanks to drone and GoPro technology, the limits have more to do with expertise than money.

“Aerial NYC” was shot by Randy Scott Slavin.

Slavin is founder of the New York City Drone Film Festival, which took place March 7. All Festival entries will be posted at www.NYCDroneFilmFestival.com
