Piercing Ken Thoughts: Though I don’t currently have one, I just love drones and the interesting things that they can do for photographers and videographers. Some of my friends have them and send them off into the sky to snap visuals and its mind-blowing. Some are even using them for work things and that is interesting. I guess we shall eventually find Amazon delivering packages in this fashion and I imagine mine would have to land on my buildings fire escape. I’d love to get one but I can’t even keep Mario in his Kart on a video game so I am fearful about controlling something that is several hundred dollars and easily damaged. I wish I knew about this awards show earlier to request credentials and be there for the sake of reporting but this was a late arrival to my media desk and that is why I don’t have any clips to share. I suggest hitting the website down below since they should have some leads to the visuals for the nominees. Good luck to all of the contenders.
