Film maker captured footage of flooded rural areas with a drone

Film maker Sascha Estens from Moree captured footage of flooded rural areas with a drone and told Sky News “having that bird’s eye view changed everything”. “Moree’s got a history of flooding, and nine years ago we had a big one, so the whole town was better prepared for this one,” she said. “Having that bird’s eye view changed everything for me as a filmmaker. “Nine years ago, for me to tell a story like this I was running all around the town interviewing people, trying to display what was happening. “But being able to put a drone up and over the town and show people who were trapped in their house at on farms or caught on the other side of town. “Our town was split in two and people were able to see sort of instantly from these photos that I was able to upload what was really happening”.
