Topics:   Java Blog

We here at Java Post Production haven't had so much fun with a new production tool since we installed our fancy cappuccino machine. Our new mini helicopter (AKA "the Javacopter") allows us to capture amazing high-definition aerial images and go places that conventional helicopter-mounted cameras can't possibly go.

"Get to da choppah!"

Topics:   Java Blog
