Video Production example - Tim Decker Airshows trailer
Tim Decker is a local pilot around the Sacramento
area. We had already launched into our massive online series
Video Production with the Patriots Jet Team. Once we had the
Patriots featurette in hand, four pilots flying jets with a crew of
twenty, we challenged ourselves to bring the same caliber of high-impact
story-telling to one guy with a small biplane. We really love how this
turned out!

performances in order to attract fans, as well as paying airshow

Video Production Story:
We start by seeing Tim's beautifully
bright red Pitts Special biplane while he's doing his preflight
walk-around check. We learn about his impressive background
"Experience" as a US Air Force pilot and what he flew. Then we

gets to participate in. And finally, we get a another glimpse
into his "Spectacular" dancing in the sky.
