Two minutes, twenty feet up

Case study 05 · Concept · Aerial cinematography · Creative direction

Drone footage from Utah, Wyoming and Montana, flown and directed for Lenticulus. Flying that low is harder than flying high, and it is the reason the rock reads with any scale at all. No client and no brief: it is here because the same person chose the light, put the aircraft in it, and decided what the sequence was about.

filmDrone Reel. Two minutes cut from flights across three states. Aerial photography and creative direction: Christopher Ward. Edit: Lenticulus. Directing someone else's cut of your own footage is not a footnote on a creative-director portfolio — it is the job.

My role — aerial photography and creative direction.
The edit — Lenticulus, cut from my footage.
Client — none, and no brief. Utah, Wyoming and Montana.
