Brain Farm Shoots the First Ultra High Definition, 4K Aerial Drone Footage

Brain Farm, the production company behind The Art of Flight, and many more action sport films, paired a Phantom Flex4K with an Aerigon UAV to shoot the world's first 4K drone footage. The Phantom Flex4K shoots at 1,000fps at a 4K resolution. Most drones do not have enough power to carry professional cameras, and that's where the Aerigon comes in.

The Art of Flight is my favorite action sport film by Brain Farm, I am excited to see what they will do with a Phantom Flex4K. They will be able to get amazing aerial slow-mo footage where they aren't able to take a full sized helicopter. 

Name Animation

This week I began to concentrate on what I wanted my name to look like for my reel. I stared with my favorite animated title sequence. "The Art of Flight" is a 12 million dollar snowboard movie sponsored by Red Bull and created by Brain Farm Cinema. The title sequence really stands out because of how well they blend the animation into the live action. Originally I wanted to emulate one cut where a piece of wax splatters revealing the Red Bull Brand.

After some research I found the company that was hired to to the sequence called Helio Collective. After watching their reel found here, I found a piece done for Dakine which I though would look a lot cooler. 

So this is my goal:
