Joe Pera talks with you season 3

In Season 3, Episode 6, titled “Joe Pera Takes You for a Flight,” Joe needs to borrow a drone from a friend to capture a photo of his grandmother’s house for a real estate listing.

For this scene, we used our custom-built 5-inch FPV drone to create a free-flowing, bird-like perspective. The episode opens with a stunning 3-minute one-take FPV shot, where every movement was meticulously timed with a script and actors on the ground.

As the episode unfolds, it showcases snapshots of Marquette, Michigan, complemented by Joe Pera’s signature ASMR-like narration.

KANSAS CITY AVIATION DEPARTMENT

In collaboration with the marketing agency Trozzolo, the Kansas City Aviation Department unveiled a new brand identity, which featured updated photos and videos of the MKC Downtown Airport. The goal of this project was to highlight key airport features, including a newly installed fueling station that has attracted increased pilot activity.

The project involved several weeks of pre-production planning, including obtaining airspace authorization from the FAA to operate within the parameters of MKC, which resides in Class D Airspace. Despite the airport remaining fully operational, our drone team coordinated seamlessly with ATC and the FAA to ensure safe and efficient flights during normal airport activity.

Dreamland Documentary

Dreamland is a social justice documentary nominated for Outstanding Social Issue Documentary in 2022. Executive producers LeBron James and Maverick Carter, along with director Salima Koroma, shed light on the forgotten story of the Tulsa, Oklahoma race riots that occurred 100 years ago.

For this project, we employed our Inspire 2 drone kit, which allowed us to keep a small crew footprint while capturing sharp, high-quality footage. The Inspire 2 is ideal for documentary filmmaking, offering extended flight times, a range of codecs and resolutions, and unmatched portability.
