Visual story for Cloudpath
Client: Cloudpath Outdoor • Speed: 68 Km/H • Area: 12.4 Km² • Services: Aerial Filming, Landscape Capture
Overview
Cloudpath, a coastal outdoor-gear label, needed a launch film that felt like salt air: free, bright and a little wild. Over three golden-hour sessions we traced their test crew from dunes to surf — orbits around riders, low skims across the water, and one continuous FPV run through the beach pavilion.
The cut premiered at their seasonal launch and now anchors their homepage, store screens and paid social.
Mission notes
- Airspace: coastal corridor, LAANC cleared nightly
- Aircraft: cinema quad + FPV chase quad
- Schedule: 3 dawn/dusk sessions, 12.4 km² covered
- Delivery: 90-sec hero, 3 social cuts, 40 stills
The challenge
Sea spray, shifting wind and a narrow 40-minute light window each evening. The pavilion fly-through demanded a single unbroken take through doorways barely wider than the aircraft — with no room for a second unit or a reshoot day.
Approach & solution
We rehearsed the pavilion run eleven times on an empty morning, then shot talent passes at dusk. A two-aircraft relay kept cameras airborne through the whole window, and salt-sealed motors plus on-site lens techs kept every take usable. The money shot landed on take three.
Deliverables & outcome
Launch hero film
A 90-second graded master that opened Cloudpath’s season reveal to a standing-room crowd.
Social cutdowns
Vertical and square edits sized for every feed — the brand’s most-saved posts that quarter.
Stills library
Forty retouched frames now running across packaging, retail walls and the catalog.
