Brief

Studio Lyric needed aerial coverage that integrated cleanly with the ground unit's footage — same colour pipeline, same motion grammar, deliverable in a format their colourist could use without re-grading.

Approach

Three days on the Parkway, one weather hold, no ego. Camera profile pre-matched to the principal unit. Every shot pre-storyboarded with the DP.

Outcome

All aerial coverage made the final cut. The colourist sent a thank-you email — possibly a first.
