Aerial mapping used in "Hollow" an interactive documentary of W. Virginia

Cool! 

"McMillion is planning to disseminate cameras to locals and help them tell their own stories.  Eric Lovell, a cartographer and West Virginia native living in Oregon, will guide youth in a new, grassroots technique of using balloons to capture images in McDowell County’s downtown areas that will be stitched together into maps. These maps will be presented at public workshops and used to spur discussion about what residents want for their community."
