360 GoPro on a Helicopter!

I've been wanting to post this video out for a while for a couple reasons: 

1: The creative is in our name!

2: These guys did an amazing job coming up with something new and interesting.

3: I can finally say that we are operating an S1000 with a GH4 (4k) Octocopter and can start advertising us as a full service company with professional aerial photography. ( currently working on a demo reel that will be out early next year. )

Enjoy!

I've got to hand it to these guys, this is quite an amazing video and very mesmerizing to watch; here is a link to the behind the scenes videos and their website on how they accomplished such a task.   Booka Shade - Crossing Boarders BTS

This past april, we went to NAB and checked out first hand the 360 degree gopro rig that was used in this video. Heres a link to where you can buy them. 360 Heros

World release of "Threads". The best 14min of your life

Releasing "Threads" to the public today marks many firsts for 360 Studios, Icarus, and Kiona.  It's the first time we are hearing of the new band KIONA since they changed their name from "Language Room."  This incredible group of musicians bring with them an award winning past and a butt-load of talent!  KIONA is debuting its first music video with not just with one song, but THREE.  It has been a pleasure working with them and watching them grow into this new band, full of passion and originality. 

This music video, is a collection of KIONA's work and a celebration the band's new name and image.  But as we celebrate the band we would also like to give credit to the cast and crew that made this music video what it is. With that said, what it is, is not only a music video but a short film full of danger, heart break and redemption.  There are no words to describe the gratitude we feel towards the people who donated their time and creativity to this project.  "Threads" is a perfect example of what people in this town can accomplish with a little hard work and a lot of heart. Austin is full of talent, and we hope "Threads" encourages people of all ages to go out and do what they love. Thanks to everyone for their involvement in bringing this story to life. Take the next 14 minutes and watch this short film, if for no other reason, to  appreciate the creative artists that make Austin, TX one of a kind.

"THREADS" While keeping true to story lines and short films, Directors Wes Evans and M. Andrew Barrera wanted to captivate the audience through their love of music. In turn they created a short film involving the musical performance of KIONA and the visual freedom music videos allow to tell a story. Threads is essentially a silent short film set to the tones and beats of three songs. When an inside man gets his friends to rob the Mafia; what looks like a clean getaway turns to chaos. Leaving a thread of chain reactions no one could have imagined. Love, hate, death, and forgiveness all encompass the true feelings of a teenage girl missing her parents.
