HBO's series 'Hard Knocks, The Dallas Cowboys' has a special section in episode 3. A drone gives a first-person view of the 91-acre campus, including the surrounding facilities. The exhilarating 3-minute clip was the result of a collaborative effort between NFL Films and Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Sky Candy Studios.

For three minutes, viewers take in the entirety of the football field, get behind-the-scenes access to the locker room, and even get a tour of the surrounding restaurants. According to Peter Schrager of Fox Sports, the team had three hours to complete the shot and 'nailed it on the 15th (attempt). '

If the style looks familiar, it's because it comes from the same creators responsible for 'Right Up Our Alley' – the bowling alley video that went viral earlier this year. Much like that video, which features one smooth take (after a few unsuccessful attempts), this footage is timed perfectly – from an usher opening the door to the stadium so the drone can pass through to a towel thrown into a locker room bin as the drone approaches.
