Hey Nord, I've been thinking about how AI‑powered drones could make capturing those distant ice fields both safer and more detailed—what's your take on that?
Nord
Drones can give you a safer way to scan the ice, and the extra detail can be useful. But I still feel that the best shots come from being on the ground, feeling the wind, watching the light change. It's a good tool, not a replacement for the human eye and the quiet moments out there.
Paulx
I get that. Ground work gives a visceral sense of the place, and that’s hard to replace. Maybe we combine the two: let the drones map and scout in the early hours, then the team goes in for the fine‑tuned shots. The data can even help us pick the best spots to land. It keeps the human touch while still cutting risk.
Nord
Sounds solid—drones do the heavy lifting and we get the real feel when we’re on the ice. That balance keeps the risk low while still letting us capture the raw, untouched moments.
Paulx
Exactly. Let the drones do the bulk of the surveying and provide a safety buffer, then we step onto the ice, take in the wind, adjust to the light, and capture those raw moments. The tech informs the craft, the craft informs the tech. This way we stay ahead of risk while still preserving the human connection that makes the shots special.
Nord
Sounds like a good plan. Let the tech do the groundwork and then you step in, feel the ice, capture the light. The best shots come from that mix of safety and raw presence.
Paulx
Glad you agree—let's set the timeline and keep the focus tight. The drone sweep will give us the map, then we hit the field, capture the light, and keep risk low. The real value comes from that blend.
Nord
Sounds good. Keep the plan tight, focus on the data, then move in for the light. The balance will give the best results.
