Our approach to the project.

Our project with SDC Trailers began with meticulous planning. We utilized online mapping for site analysis, verified airspace, and conducted a thorough hazard assessment. A detailed risk assessment ensured a safe operation. On-site, we captured diverse angles in high-resolution RAW format. In post-production, we applied professional color grading, tailored to SDC's aesthetic. This comprehensive process delivered a high-quality, visually compelling representation of their facilities.
