Seagate:

There’s a unspoken profoundness watching the sun set behind the high mountains of Colorado, being out of breath from running up the hill with a Movi and truly experiencing an amazing moment at work. We may be partial, having grown up in Colorado, but we’ll take any excuse we can to get up into the mountains.

We recently partnered with Seagate Technologies on a project to showcase their new DJI Fly Drive and its features. We spent a day with our friend Jordan, who is a filmmaker in his own right and an avid DJI Mavic flyer, exploring some of the lakes and mountains on the Colorado Eastern Slope. This shoot had a lot of fun perks with several drones, our Movi Pro and even a pimped out, lifted Jeep.

Our turnaround for final delivery was tight, which gave us a short time to pull it together.  We location scouted, finalized creative, found our talent, submitted detailed maps and shot lists to our location staff, secured our certified drone pilot and got it all approved in just one week. The weather and nearby forest fires posed some additional challenges as well, but ironically provided us with nature’s soft diffusion. The entire piece was shot on-location over a single day and we worked with on-site park rangers and property managers to locate the best places to film each scene.

We had a lot of fun making this video!  A huge thanks to Seagate, the park rangers, our awesome aerial crew, and all that were involved in helping us bring this concept to life.  Check out Seagate if you get a chance.  The technology they create is truly revolutionary and is helping to reshape the way we are able to go out, capture, and store.
