The event, which is raising money for the “He Cares We Care” Plainsboro food pantry through voluntary donations, continues through Dec. 31, according to the event’s Facebook page.

The company that filmed it, Osprey Perpectives of Brick Township, owned by Ryan Baine and Mike Demarco, has been in business since April, providing overhead photography and videography services. They have done video of Trump National Golf Course in Colts Neck for a promotional video, and photos of Six Flags Great Adventure when the company was surveying to decide where to add a new ride.

“(The men) founded this operation with the intent to offer the world a bird’s eye view at an affordable cost,” their website says. “We avoid the costly overhead of having to get a plane into the air by safely operating a remote control hexacopter with a mounted camera. We fly by AC 91-57 regulations so our hexacopter is always within our line of sight. The copter is rigged to never exceed Class G airspace, and sorry but we won’t fly if there is an airport with in 5 miles. Safety first!”
