Great perspective, but personally I'm too paranoid to fly over a group of people, let alone thousands.

i'd be willing to bet that this was a two-person team- one flying and one filming. the footage is such that i don't think a pilot could have coordinated both the control of the aircraft (flight path) and the camera simultaneously.
