CITIGEN

You'll often need long-distance aerial shots for your films and animation. Using a drone is a good option, as long as you have a city or a location that fits your story and the local laws permit the shots you want.
Another option is exploring the use of CGI.
Now with CITIGEN--a CG mega city generator with CEL (a year-round environment generator)--your VFX team may no longer be limited by local laws or locations but by their imagination only!
