Everyone is now taking selfies… by the time your grandma is doing it, it is no longer cool and it is time for a new trend. Bring on the age of dronies! Yes, that’s right… it is a pic/shot clip of yourself/selves (we don’t judge) shot by your very own (or you much cooler friend’s) drone with epic results.

A ‘dronie’, also known as a ‘sky selfie’, is like selfie-plus – a ‘selfie’ taken, not by a camera phone in your outstretched hand, but by a flying drone camera.

Given the range and scope of a drone, a dronie is best done in a short video format, rather than a single image[…].

Twitter was one of the first to make use of the dronie, introducing it to the Cannes Lions advertising festival last month. The social media company used a flying camera to take short videos of people in a garden, then used video editing to make it look like the drone started its journey in space before zooming in on the waving participants.
