Dutch Drone Gods

That's a wrap on Red Bull Hardline 2024 Second year in a row that we got to travel to the holy grounds of downhill mountain biking in Dyfi valley. The team provided FPV aerial shots for the livestream on the Red Bull website and Youtube. Here's a portion of the 2024 Hardline winner Ronan Dunne, sending it down the new top section. No camera footage will ever do justice to how insanely steep and gnarly this track is, but hopefully we give you a little idea Client: UMTV LIMITED / Red Bull Athlete: Ronan Dunne Pilot: Vince Irie Spotter / tech: Rene Sebastian

New work for HALAL , sending our cinema drone down an ice ring ⛸ We helped out Halal with this shoot at a freezing cold ice ring in The Hague. Capturing this super talented young ice skater while she was doing here routine. We flew with our cinema drone so get the most out of the image (and the dark).

We followed the RB20 with Max Verstappen for a full lap around Silverstone 🚀🔥 In January 2023 Red Bull came to us with the question if we could follow an F1 car for a full lap. At the time it seemed an impossible task, but we gave it our all. With more then 8 months of R&D, testing, going back to the drawing board AND working together with Red Bull Advanced Technologies we pulled it off. So many people to thank that made this happen. Red Bull for the insane project, Cut Media for capturing this whole adventure and of course our in house team that made this possible: Pilot en development: Ralph Hogenbirk Engineering: Thomas de Koster Drone tech and engineer: Bas van T Hul Relay drone: Rene Sebastian Here is the full lap we did with Liam Lawson in September last year, reaching top speeds of around 310km/h. For the full video go to Youtube or our website.

We kick off 2024 with our new showreel 🔥🚀 It's been over 2 years since we launched last showreel and meanwhile had tons of fantastic new experiences, met great new people all over the world, flew at the most insane locations, and most importantly; created FPV drone shots that blew people's minds. What started out with just Ralph Hogenbirk and Vince Irie has grown into a fully-fledged team of 6 employees dedicated to nailing the perfect shot. These last two years have been truly unbelievable. Despite tons of projects that 'didn't make the cut,' we want to thank everyone we got to work with over this last period of time. You believed in FPV drones in all your video and film projects.

Celebrating 100 years of NEMO 🥳 Just last week, at NEMO's 100-year celebration in Amsterdam, we showcased our skills with three different drone teams! One of our drones took on the persona of a character named Vonk, adding a unique spark to the event by lighting up the scene like a floating orb. Once again a perfect example that you don't need to think in the traditional usage of drones 🔥 Meanwhile, our FPV drone team captured every moment of the event. And, as expected, our trusted traditional drone provided those wide aerial views of the entire scene.

Holiday time is feel good time 🎅🏻🎄 It's always a good sign when Jeffrey Meijer includes us on a production. Thinking outside of the box this time, by lettings us fly a light orb drone which filled the streets with light 💫 We customized our LED drone specifically to create the flying ball of light for this commercial, which fractures in almost every shot. Unfortunately, many production teams and directors tend to have limited perspectives on what's achievable when it comes down to including drones on a production. When in reality, the possibilities are nearly endless.

We'll let you in on our secret sauce 🤫 We don't often share BTS. And to be honest, it's not that we don't want to, but we are just to focussed on getting the job done. Luckily we had some time during this shoot for STUDIO LAFO to set up some BTS cams. Lars Cleven came to us with the idea to do a slow motion aerial shot as an opening for his documentary "Running a family". And since we really love setting up impossible choreo shots, we just couldn't say no. The fact that we recorded this whole section with rehearsal, closing down the streets in a busy city, and every kid doing their thing at the highest level just within two hours time is pretty crazy if you ask us. Kudo's to Lars for believing in his dreams an realizing them 🙌🏻 Client: STUDIO LAFO Director: Lars Cleven Pilot: Ralph Hogenbirk Drone director: Rene Sebastian Producer: Stef Cleven , Jeroen Schreiner Special thanks to COMMIT FREERUN and all the athletes in this video!
