Soundset 2015

Rain or shine and 30K strong, Soundset 2015 went on in the all-day rain. North Star Aerial was happy to be a part of it. The weather proved to be a challenge. We kept our gear in check and our eyes on the radar.

The rain did not dampen the sprits of the energetic crowd. The music line up was amazing with some serious heavy hitters in the hip hop world. Local icons included Brother Ali, Dessa,  Atmosphere and many more. I must say I was taken back when south centrals hip hop legend Ice Cube hit the stage! 

A big shout out to, Rhymesayers ENT., the great crew at 1light Films , Andrew Melby and Stevie Kane

Graphics On The Fly

The North Star Aerial Van gets graphics!

Because, what would a full service aerial production vehicle be without a little logo love?

It's a Ram ProMaster with a twist: we added custom badging and turned ours into an AerialMaster.

Big shout out to Joel Boerboom & the talented, professional crew at Catapult who went the extra mile to get our graphics done in time!  They even threw in this landing zone mat, which is safe and super cool.

Next up, we tackle the van's interior - stay tuned!

Transforming Perspectives with Travel

We had the opportunity to travel to the great down under last December, we packed up the small but very capable  DJI Phantom for a long flight and before I knew it, we were driving on the wrong side of the road.

Our time was short but the locations were epic! We flew the beautiful emerald green waters of Byron Bay, Surfers' Paradise, Rainbow Bay and over the 330ft drop (!!) of Minion Falls. 

The majestic views of Cape Byron were nothing short of awe inspiring. 

I find Travel changes ones perspective on places, people, time and light. Aerial Cinematography does the same.
