From Bowling Alleys to the White House

Jay Christensen, who gained international recognition for his viral “Right Up Our Alley” bowling alley , brings his signature single-take style to this historic setting. The filmmaker’s ability to navigate tight spaces while maintaining smooth transitions has become his trademark, earning him opportunities to showcase locations typically off-limits to drone operations.

Technical Marvel in a Restricted Space

Flying an FPV drone through the White House’s historic interiors presented unique challenges, requiring exceptional pilot skill and careful coordination with the Secret Service. The flight path showcases multiple rooms decorated for the holidays, with the drone gracefully maneuvering around delicate ornaments, historic artifacts, and architectural features.

The video demonstrates the evolution of from a specialty tool to a mainstream storytelling medium, even in sensitive government facilities. This marks a significant shift in how traditional security protocols can adapt to accommodate innovative filming techniques while maintaining strict safety standards.

Setting New Precedents

This collaboration between the White House and a professional drone pilot opens new possibilities for documenting historic spaces. While the White House remains within the Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ), this authorized flight shows how exceptions can be made for specific, controlled operations by qualified professionals.

The production required careful planning and coordination with multiple agencies, as drone operations near federal buildings typically face severe restrictions under FAA regulations and security protocols. The successful execution of this flight could pave the way for similar productions at other historically significant sites.

The video serves not only as a holiday greeting but also as a testament to the advancing capabilities of drone technology and its potential for creating compelling content while navigating complex regulatory and security requirements. It sets a new benchmark for what’s possible in restricted airspace when proper protocols are followed and professional expertise is employed.
