An Oddly Upbeat Aerial Tour of That Creepy Abandoned Island From Skyfall

Apr 03, 6:05PM

It's kind of a sad tale, so it's a little confusing as to why Sony chose such an upbeat and whimsical soundtrack for this tour of the island using one of its action cams attached to a multi-bladed copter. Maybe they have plans to turn it into a family-friendly resort? [YouTube via The Awesomer] More »
