The selfie is dead. Long live the dronie.
Twitter kicked off the Cannes Lions international advertising festival in southern France on Sunday by using drones to take Vine videos above the heads of Twitter employees with various attendees. The videos are being shared on a new Twitter account called Dronie.
The first dronie posted to the account was of Patrick Stewart, who is in a new Twitter documentary intended for ad industry executives at Cannes.
