Aerial Imaging Productions
 Co-Owners Jeff Buerger and Matthew Dunn started Aerial Imaging Productions approximately four years ago. Several production companies in Denver have embraced this new lofty medium and continually hire AIP to give each of their projects that seemingly unobtainable and stunning perspective.
 They use multi rotor RC (radio controlled) helicopters. They are small (about 3 feet in diameter), quiet and run on battery power. This allows for less complex and obtrusive aerial filming. And they fly virtually. The pilot, Bill Clary, is not looking at the helicopter when it's in the air. He's looking at a wireless video signal, through video goggles, from the onboard camera. This allows them to get a more accurate and true bird's eye perspective and longer range than the more traditional "line of sight" type of flying.
"We did a shoot for the History channel, filming combines harvesting wheat fields and they were about 300-400 yards away from us," says Dunn, the camera operator and editor for AIP. "That shoot would've been a lot more complicated had we been flying by sight."
Dunn also has a video feed from a second camera that is the filming camera. This feed can also be seen by the client to ensure that they are getting what they want and can provide instant feedback during the flight. AIP custom builds most of their equipment to produce the exact results they need.
Aerial Imaging Productions can be found online here.
