Camera Drone Used to Make Eerie Aerial Light Paintings Inspired by ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’

Close Encounters of the Phantom Kind

In an effort to recreate the illuminated UFOs from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, production studio Fiction attached lights to a DJI Phantom drone and used it to create eerie light paintings in the night sky. The images were recorded in long exposure photographs and tweaked in Photoshop for the full effect.
