Wuppertal FPV
Noah Pichler
Published
Commissioned by the City of Wuppertal, I conceptualized, filmed, and edited a groundbreaking FPV drone video showcasing the city’s iconic landmarks—most notably, the world-famous Schwebebahn (suspension railway). As the first filmmaker officially authorized to fly an FPV drone around and through the Schwebebahn, this project marked a milestone in combining urban storytelling with dynamic aerial cinematography.
The final video was published on Wuppertal’s official social media platforms and received widespread attention for its innovative perspective, high-speed precision flying, and seamless editing. From tight indoor-to-outdoor transitions to scenic flyovers, the video highlights Wuppertal’s unique charm with an energetic, modern visual style designed for digital audiences.
