"It can go anywhere you want, and that's amazing as long as the operator is good enough to put it there,"
Randy Scott Slavin, founder and director of the NYC Drone Film, said. "You see them on every film set, you see them on every commercial set you see them on TV all the time."

Thirty-two films are battling for prizes in categories including extreme sports, landscape and documentary.
