Fantomassays...Adam and Jamie used this technique to test whether or not it was possible to 'polish a turd', and indeed it was.
They are beautiful objects.

siftbotsays...You can't Polish a Turd? Mythbusters say otherwise... has been added as a related post - related requested by Zawash.
Paybacksays...I think drone video is starting to jump the shark. It's not at the ramp yet, but it's up on the skis, sticking out its thumbs, and about to say, "Ayyyyy...".
oritteroposays...It used to be really hard and/or expensive to get these types of shots, so they were used sparingly and only when they really made sense.
Now that they're cheap and easy they're being a bit over-used.
I don't think that it's exactly the drone shots that are starting to jump the shark, but the fad of using them everywhere, all the time, for no reason other than because we can (and good riddance too).

Paybacksays...No, you're right. It's more cliched than following a ballistic trajectory over an aquatic predator . Shark jumping is the point where stupid things have to happen to try to keep something relevant. This is just overuse.
