This one had to be shared ASAP. As part of a promotion for this weekend’s release of the new Fantastic Four movie, video agency Thinkmodo ran a promotion that turned a drone into Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch.
The result is one of the most creative additions to a UAV we have ever seen- namely, lighting the drone on fire:
It goes without saying you should not try this at home. This flight was conducted at the Nassau County’s Fire Service Academy in New York under the watchful eye of 10 firefighters and two chiefs with plenty of flame retardant equipment on hand.
The idea spawned from a similar campaign that was used to promote Fantastic Four director Josh Trank’s first movie, Chronicle.
