Fast paced, full service production from the ground to the sky!

We recently worked with the awesome production team at Life Touch Media Productions to help create this high-energy 30 second spot for Augustana College/Augustana athletics!

Combined with traditional ground production, our aerial shots add tremendous value & show a different perspective of all the buzz happening on the field!  The best view of an event is the one that captures all the excitement; with aerial, you see it all."

Movi M5

North Star Aerial has expanded its production capabilities with Freefly System’s Movi M5!

The North Star team was happy to be a part of Lifetouch’s Picture More 2014 sales meeting. We glided right into action with our newest cinematic asset, the Movi M5. This fast paced week long extravaganza was the perfect testing grounds for this stabilized camera rig. We can’t wait to see where this camera rig takes us next!

SOUNDSET 2014

In May we shot Soundset 2014, the biggest (& best) indie rap music festival the Midwest has ever hosted. The festival's 7th year drew huge crowds, and what better way to cover the multi-stage events and big ticket names than with Aerial cinematography? (skip to the highlight reel after the jump!)

In the truck the energy was as high as the crowd's, and over a dozen crew members crammed themselves - and their gear - in one production trailer!  Quick turn was the name of the game.

A huge THANKS to the Rhymesayers, and to Andrew Melby & Stevie Kane at 1 Light Films for bringing Aerial to this year's Soundset!
