2020 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 16

Drone pilot Rickdebenedetto shows the great city of Buenos Aires, Argentina under a nationwide quarantine to fight the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Spring of 2020.  While the country didn't reach its first 100 confirmed cases until the third week of March, a nationwide quarantine was declared on March 19.  With most of the confirmed cases concentrated in and around the national capital, one of the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan cities in South America came to resemble a virtual ghost-town.  This video earned a nomination in the Lockdown category at the 6th Annual NYCDFF.

As Italy showed tentative signs that the deadly Covid-19 pandemic had peaked in the country, Drone Video Award winner Druno put together this inspiring collection of some of his aerial footage from across the great country.  A masterpiece which reminds us what beauty awaits when the country re-opens for tourism, the video will take you over some of Italy's most spectacular and iconic scenery.  Some of the featured locations include Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples, Sicily, the Dolomite Mountains, and much more.  

Novosibirsk is the facto business capital of Siberia, and Russia's third-largest city after Moscow and St. Petersburg.  A comparative infant by Russian standards, Novosibirsk was founded in 1893 as the crossing-point for the Trans-Siberian Railroad over the Ob River.   During Soviet times, the city became a major industrial center, with many factories relocated here following the Nazi invasion of the USSR in 1941.  In this fantastic dronelapse by Makharov, you'll be treated to some stunning aerial views of this very modern city.

Prepare to be amazed by this spectacular drone reel from top contributor Colin Skillings, his second to be picked as a Finalist for the Drone Video Awards.  Shot over the course of a year, the video includes footage captured from five countries: Costa Rica, Mexico, Thailand, South Africa, and the United States.  Featuring some jaw-dropping top-down shots, the reel features a wide range of landscapes and subjects, ranging from the coast of Cape Town to the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica to the waterfront of Seattle, Washington.
