Our project, Rising China, was created out of a need to see things from a different perspective. We were hired by a local Chinese company to bring a rather dull city to life, which was our main goal. One of the ways we thought we could do this would be to show the city and the surrounding area off by using drone technology. Never before had drone photography been used in this part of the world so it was especially pleasing to shoot something that no one had really seen before. It was beyond exciting being able to fly our drone through 500-year-old ancient temples, remote villages, and a bustling industrial city. We shot more than 2 hours worth of footage that will ultimately be used in an hour-long documentary produced by the Chinese company that hired us to shoot for them. —Drew Geraci
