    Hi guys; Anyone have experience creating and shooting a crop circle in a corn field? We are concerned on the coarseness of the corn itself and if it can make smooth lines on circular shapes unless you were way up high in a monster sized field. If our field is not monster size (say 100-200 feet across) can we expect to get a decent looking curved shape in the corn? I know it would be possible with wheat or oats.

    Also any experience shooting this with RC helicopters? Don’t need flyovers, but just maybe a rise up to reveal or a slow move across left to right.

    Any thoughts appreciated.

    I imagine you’ll have to hand-weave some of the stalks to reduce the aliasing, on a scale like what you are using.

    I’ve had good luck imitating this in photoshop and other paint programs. Its less work.
