Returning to Another Project With Waveform Electric
I have done a number of photo and drone projects for Ryan of Waveform Electric and one of the best things about them is that no two so far have ever been the same! Last time was finding a way to get drone video of batteries installed in a garage while also showing the house was on a cliff in Carmel Highlands. This time, less challenging flying logistics as the construction job site in progress home build in Pebble Beach actually allowed me to stand right out on what will eventually be the second floor deck and fly from there with clear views of the drone the entire time as I got drone video of the job site itself as well as the stunning surroundings which included a golf course, 17-Mile Drive, and the Pacific Ocean. Having this much visual interest both close by, and in the distance, really makes it enjoyable to create shots that go right from the deck itself out over the course then on toward the water. That last shot was requested by Ryan himself, which was a great clip to end the video on. Thank you Ryan for continuing to choose me as your drone pilot and photographer!
Deep in the woods of Pebble Beach, I arrived at this job site to make in progress construction drone video for Gonzalo of Peninsula Construction. This was my second on location shoot for Gonzalo, the first being in Seaside. The majority of remaining construction at this Pebble Beach house was in the backyard putting in a new deck and putting green! This logistics were favorable for drone video at this site, with some trees, but none right overhead, not a power line in site, and Gonazalo’s crew in action working on the deck. This allowed me to get the drone in pretty close to the action, to contrast with higher establishing shots as well.
It was exciting when Hare Construction reached out to me about a big crane coming to one of their Pebble Beach job sites to hoist steel beams up and if I could get drone video of it. I have experience flying around cranes, and know it can result in some pretty cool drone video shots! Hare Construction is also one of my new repeat construction clients, as earlier this year I photographed one of their construction projects on Laurel Ave in Pacific Grove.
