[TouchSky Ferris·Tutorial] (WeChat Official Account: HeyDrones)
August 21, 2017, somewhere along the border in China
Feige and Aji were sent out on what seemed like a rather mysterious mission.
In this remote location, the drone, which was originally intended for aerial photography, transformed into something more than just a camera.
This unexpected transformation caught us off guard—there was a strange familiarity about it all.
Facing overwhelming forces of darkness, Feige and Aji had no choice but to pick up their "UAV" and stand firm against the odds.
A battle between life and death, human versus machine!

Dare to bombard me with your Inspire2? My Mavic isn’t taking this lying down!
"Packed Wolf 2"
Oh no…
"Pack Wolf 2" Shooting Footage
After watching "Wolf Pack 2," I was deeply impressed by the intense combat scenes in the movie. I decided to attempt creating a similar video, even if it was just one scene. I called my teammate, Aji, and the enigmatic director and drone operator in our group, and we headed out to the field to shoot this "Packed Wolf 2."
Taobao Explosion Props
If we bought some fake guns, wore camouflage uniforms, and fully mimicked the real deal, it might have been too literal. Instead, we decided to use drones as weapons, treating drone batteries as grenades. The end result was surprisingly satisfying!
Special Effects of $5 Gun Battle
Explosion Scene
The film was shot using the Sony A7SII & Inspire2. The drones involved in the action included the Mavic, Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro, and Inspire 2. In post-production, the gunfight scenes were layered using AE. This technique can be referenced from Feige’s tutorial on adding cloud effects to aerial videos; the principles are similar. The film is packed with sound effects, making it look quite professional.
Finally, I hope everyone enjoys our little project.

I never thought using drones as weapons would turn out so well. Honestly, the idea came to me during a casual conversation with Feige. He mentioned how drones could be repurposed beyond just photography.
Initially, we weren’t sure if it would work, but after testing a few ideas, it became clear that drones could be effective props for action scenes.
The explosion scenes were particularly challenging. We tried several methods before settling on the current approach. It’s amazing how much creativity can come from limited resources.
Looking back, it was an incredible experience. Working with Aji and the rest of the team was a blast. We learned a lot about drone operation under pressure and how to integrate them seamlessly into action sequences.
If anyone is interested in trying this themselves, feel free to reach out. We’d love to share tips and tricks we picked up along the way.
Stay safe and keep flying!
