Lifting Colombia

client: Autel Robotics

roles: co-director, lead editor, 2nd drone pilot, 3rd camera

circa: 2020

notes: Lifting Colombia is a feature-length documentary project exploring the rise of eco-tourism in Colombia that I co-directed and edited while working as a Creative Team Manager at Autel Robotics.

In addition to interviewing locals and athletes about the rise of ecotourism in the country, we also used the production to test out Autel’s latest camera drone, the EVO 2.

Through the production, we put prototype drones through tests and utilized them as the sole aerial cameras for the project.

In addition to the feature-length doc this project also resulted in short-form content, a footage library, and an image library to pull from for product release ads.

The project was directed by Tim Matthews and myself and I handled all the post-production of this project. The filming and logistics of production in Colombia was made possible through our collaboration with WhereNext Global Creative Agency.
