Any One in US know who did this?

It looks to me to be done in the same style as Robert Macintosh films and flies. https://vimeo.com/user387256

This is really close to my house if it's Genentech. Looks like an excessive use of post-stabilization or is it just me?

I'd bet it was him. He has some type of post stabilization that has a unique look about it, and this matches that pretty well.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
the video did remind me of the santa monica video and the pilot's general disregard for public areas and private property.
granted, it's hard to resist flying in areas where you think there's a great shot or sequence hiding but if we are to remain free to do what we do then we absolutely have to police ourselves and not be a hazard for the general public.
It's not to sell Genentec to us, it's a recruiting vid to convince young grads that it's a fun place with a campus like setting, healthy lifestyles, and look, we even do bunnyhop fridays and taco tuesdays in the cafeteria! Sure looks like Macintosh's style, regardless, it was awesome!

I have to say, as against flying over people as I am, this seemed pretty safe. There were very few people and not a lot going on at the time for the most part. I'm not promoting this type of flying since it would be an issue if everyone did it but the pilot clearly has control and was not flying like a madman over tons of unsuspecting people.

MMmm its still a tad riskay IMO and not that professional as the airframe is in shot time and time again.. anyhow just wondered if the pilot was on here or known by anyone on here.. the more I look at it the more I am thinking employee doing a boss a favour.. BTW looking at other vids on there what is an internship? is it where you work for nowt funded by your parents to get work experience?

Some interns are paid, but most are not. I usually take a software development intern every summer. This will be the first year that I haven't in a little while. The one that worked for me last year is interning for IBM this year and making very good money doing so. He is really a bright kid though and will no doubt go far in life.

wasn't so much commenting on flying over people as I was over communities and active roadways. i didn't see much flying being done over crowds of people.
it isn't hard to imagine a driver being distracted by the heli and clipping a parked car or oncoming traffic.

Dave, shouldnt be hard. There is this Chinese company out there that makes this RTF quad, it's white, forget the name. Supposedly it will lift a gopro and talks to space. So i think you just tell the GPS aliens where you want to fly and it does it for you. You dont even have to know how to fly!
