Filming city workers in Buffalo, NY piling up mountains of snow to clear the streets after the 2022 blizzard

Filming stock video with a drone in the aftermath of the 2022 blizzard that hit Buffalo, NY was a unique and challenging experience. Upon arrival city workers were piling up mountains of snow by the abandoned 1920s Buffalo Central Terminal. This event created a breathtaking landscape that was both beautiful and treacherous.

The first challenge was getting the drone in the air. The high winds made it difficult to launch and stabilize the drone. It was important to have a skilled pilot who could navigate these conditions and keep the drone steady.

Once the drone was in the air, the next challenge was maneuvering it over the mountains of snow. The drone had to fly at a low altitude to capture the beauty of the snow and the Terminal together. However, the wind made it difficult to control the drone and keep it steady. It was a delicate balance between getting the perfect shot and not risking crashing the drone.

Despite the challenges, the final footage was worth it. The drone was able to capture stunning aerial shots of city workers using bulldozers to pile up snow next to the ruins of the 1920s art deco architecture of Buffalo Central Terminal which has been vacant since the 1970s. The footage shows a beautiful and unique perspective of the blizzard's aftermath that could not have been captured any other way.
