Heart Attack at 1,500 feet
13 October
A Video for the American Heart Association
On Camera
During the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta last year, hot air balloon pilot, Doug Lenberg, had a heart attack while piloting his balloon filled with passengers at 1500 feet. Needing to land as soon as possible, he barely landed the balloon in a parking lot. With his passengers safely on the ground, Doug collapsed as his chase crew arrived.

Behind the Scenes
Drones were utilized during a couple of scenes in the American Heart Association video we recently produced.
Chuck Tjeltweed, our Chief Videographer, filmed some amazing POV (Point of View) Drone shots when Doug describes almost hitting the power lines and then landing in the Calvary Chapel parking lot.
Not to be outdone in the creativity department, Daniel Schueler, our Production Director, took a gurney, a nurse and another one of our Drones to re-create the scene where Doug is brought into the hospital. To carry the narrative along both visually and audibly, many additional subtle effects were used during the edit including music, fades and contrast shifts.
