A recent video surfaced of drone footage travelling through Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and what's notable is how skilled the pilot is along with how cool the final product of the video looks like. It's worth your time to check it out for yourself.

　　It'll be a few months yet before we can start thinking about things like putting our grubby mitts all over bowling balls thrown by dozens of other bowlers. Even so, we're anticipating the day when we can once again gather at places like this bowling alley, which is the subject of the stunning short film, captured via drone, below.

　　The video comes via YouTuber jaybyrdfilms. In the video, an FPV drone begins above the bowling alley and snakes in through the door and around the alley as people bowl and chat. It works its way back into the back of the alley and back out, giving us a look at the whole building before the end.

　　A lot of work went into the video--the sound work was definitely done in post but adds a lot of atmosphere as you can hear people chatting about scoring a turkey (three strikes in a row) while balls crash into pins. It's all at once technically stunning and nostalgic. The video is so slick that it almost looks like CGI, but this is a very real place (that I've been to once and driven by a few hundred times).

　　The film has a smashing finish, if you catch my drift. Jaybyrd has another video, also shot in Minnesota, of a motorcyclist driving through a closed-down mall late at night that feels like something usually relegated to Grand Theft Auto games and John Wick movie sequences.
