New York, Nov 11 (IANS): The world's first drone-filmed pornographic video has gone viral on social media even though its creators say that it was more of an art project.

The three-minute video consists of a fast-flying drone panning over a variety of beautiful landscapes, mountain vistas and majestic beaches as bare bodies are seen in the act from a distance.

According to its makers, the video is a light-hearted riff on surveillance culture and privacy.

"Make porn not war. Let us not be so serious, let us take a step back and think about some of the most beautiful things in the world. And sex is one of them," co-creator Brandon LaGanke was quoted as saying in the Daily Beast.

"For the video, we did not want to get beautiful white people; we wanted to mix it up. We wanted to mix the races, age, we wanted it to be real people which is why in some of the shots you see an older women, an older man, not the greatest body. That was an objective: to make this real," LaGanke added.

The video is made by California-based production company Ghost Cow films.
