THE LIGHT

A short film exploring our connectedness in life and death, to not only the world around us, but ultimately to ourselves. Darkness, movement, and clarity, have a tendency to confirm or deny a desire to know, and be known.

The film is a collaboration between Brandon Bray and Tim Sessler, experimenting with the use of light in new and abstract ways and combining revolutionary tools like the new Freefly MoVI PRO, RED Helium 8K and our custom built high powered LED drone lighting system.

THE LIGHT // BEHIND THE SCENES

Go behind the scenes on Brandon Bray and Tim Sessler's latest project 'The Light' and see how they use the MoVI Pro to capture a wide variety of shots using the MIMIC technology. Tim executes shots that are super stable, and some that are vibrant and almost like handheld work. Tim also uses the RED Helium sensor to take advantage of the natural and flying LED light.
