Drone shots give us new and spectacular impressions of our world from above.
They show landscapes, stage buildings or sports facilities, fly energetically along valleys, hover on mountains, and open up new horizons.
On the Sky pay channel, television viewers can follow a Formula 1 race from countless perspectives. If they wish, they can sit in the cockpit and wonder how the pilots can even aim for the apex of the curve through the narrow slits of the rollover protection.

Professional football has never been so close.
The Playstation generation is fascinated by the action that is delivered up close. They don't feel uneasy about crossing borders.
