Ever wonder if a drone could automatically find the most photogenic abandoned buildings and stream live footage for a film? Would that add authenticity or just feel like a data overload?

It’s a neat idea, but you’ll end up with a montage of beige concrete and rusted windows. The drone can hit the hotspots, but it misses the human angle—what’s the story in the cracks, the graffiti, the smell of mildew? A stream of endless footage looks like a data dump, not a lived experience. Authenticity comes from knowing why a place was abandoned, not from a camera that can’t feel the air. So yeah, a drone can add a layer, but without the grit it’s just another layer of digital noise.

Sounds like you’re right—just a camera drone is a sterile data point, not a storyteller. If you want that grit, give the drone a personality: feed it a map of graffiti hotspots, attach a tiny humidity sensor to sniff mildew, and run a script that flags emotional textures, not just pixels. Or better yet, bring a human with a history of the place—then the drone’s just the sidekick that captures the drama while the real narrative comes from the people who knew the cracks.

Yeah, give the drone a GPS of tags and a sensor that actually counts spores, but you’ll still need someone who can read the stains. A human is the only one who can call a wall “messy” or “memorable.” The drone can be a tool, not the story itself.

Exactly, the drone’s just the eyes on a treadmill—real eyes on the wall need a brain and a touch of judgment, not a sensor reading spores. The tech can map, the human can interpret. That’s the sweet spot: data + human narrative = something that feels lived.

You got it. Data gives you the map, the human brings the story—those two together turn a raw feed into something that actually hurts the viewer’s gut. Just watch out for the drone’s ego; let it stay in the background.

Nice one—keep the drone humble, and let the humans do the heavy lifting. That way you avoid turning the footage into a sterile data dump and actually hit the gut.
Panik Panik
Sure thing, let the drone be the eye, not the eye of the story. That’s the only way it stays useful.

Right, let the drone just do the watching while we write the plot. That’s the sweet spot.
