HIGHLAND, Utah -- Jigabot, LLC, whose flagship product is AIMe, a robotic camera auto-framing system, can be mounted on a Quadcopter, drone or UAV, will host, #DRONEDANCE: The Panel about Drones and UAVs, at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, January, 25, 2015, from 12:00 Noon to 2:00 PM.
Professionals who are interested in attending #DRONEDANCE can apply for a VIP Pass by clicking on this link: www.dronedance.splashthat.com (http://www.dronedance.splashthat.com/)
The #Dronedance panel will discuss drone cinematography, safety and new regulations for this emerging industry. In September, 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration announced a landmark decision for the film industry and granted a waiver to six aerial photo and video production companies to use the UAVs in production. According to Christopher J. Dodd, chairman of the Motion Picture Association, the FAA's approval will contribute to job growth in the U.S. as more movies will be shot domestically.
AIMe is designed to have cinematic style.
The demand for the use of drones is growing and has been popular among producers of films, stage performances, action sports and commercials because they can fly in a sweet spot for filming that is too low for helicopters and too high for cranes.
Donna Root, Jigabot Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, remarks, “AIMe is the only auto-framing technology that can be used indoors and outdoors, at close and at far distances. It can be attached to a drone or Quadcopter, and can be used to track actors, performers, athletes or other objects. We are excited to be a co-host of the #DRONEDANCE panel and to demonstrate the exciting features of AIMe at Sundance 2015!

“Our company was founded by professional filmmakers with a passion for art and technology,” adds Rick Stout, Co-founder and CEO of Jigabot. “We know that AIMe will help professionals nail those difficult but amazing shots each and every time.”
Jigabot will also present AIMe demonstrations at the Bang and Olufsen House Lounge by Emerge all week long. Actors, athletes, bands, singers, film makers, photographers, cinematographers, producers and media can request a VIP Pass by clicking on this link: http://emergelounge.com or by calling 385-207-3500
Sundance Institute co-founder Sterling Van Wagenen recently remarked, “Jigabot’s AIMe makes it even easier for independent filmmakers to craft their stories on a small budget — which is perfectly in line with the spirit of Sundance.”
