BROOKLYN AERIALS is shooting in San Francisco - Vimeo Staff Pick #4 in 2014

May 15, 2014 Tim Sessler

Tipping Point Community, an organization that helps combat poverty in the bay area, commissioned us to make a short film for their 2014 benefit. We chose to tell a common story of challenge and hardship in the bay area due to poverty. A hardworking family put into a bad situation and not given much hope to get out of it. The film has been formatted in an ultra-widescreen format for the special screen it was shown on at the benefit on May 8th, 2014.

Early April we were shooting in San Francisco for the Non-Profit, Tipping Point.

The whole piece was shot within three days, using the Freefly MoVI M10 for nearly every shot. Even though we faced a hand full of challenges - unexpected rain or 30mph wind gusts (have a look at the bushes in the final shot) - the MoVI and Cinestar took it with ease, resulting in some very beautiful imagery.

Big thanks to Vimeo for featuring the video as a Staff Pick!
