We worked on this project on and off over the course of 5 years with the director, Dylan, to help tell this chilling story by flying cameras all over the state of Iowa. It's good to finally see it come out. It premiered last week on Max (HBO) -

We had the opportunity to get some Cinematic drone shots at the 2024 National Balloon Classic in Indianola, Iowa! The weather really threw things off this year, so we got lucky! We appreciate the hospitality of the Balloon Classic leadership and all the balloon pilots and crews that put in the effort! Thanks for working with us!

Megan Stineman Fine Art's first oil painting where ROTOR VISUAL aerial imagery was used as reference! We hope to collaborate more in the future!

It's been really busy around here with Virtual School so I put painting aside for awhile. This commission needed to get done so I stayed up late to paint while Ben did the morning duties. There are so many rich and gorgeous colors in this landscape. It's my first aerial painting that Ben, owner of ROTOR VISUAL, took via his drone. It was fun working with him! I have a feeling I'll be doing more aerial paintings.
