HIGHLAND, Utah January 21, 2015


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.

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 robotic camera 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!"
