Broken Country: Filming in Helicopter
Aerial B-roll for the Broken Country documentary, filmed from a helicopter over British Columbia.
Hanging out of a helicopter over British Columbia's backcountry, filming the kind of landscapes you can only reach from the air. Snow-covered peaks, winding rivers, and endless wilderness.
Why we went up
Aerial filming is one of the most powerful ways to capture scale and story. Some things simply do not read from the ground: the size of a valley, the way a river braids out across the flats, how far the wilderness runs before it stops. From the air it is one shot.
Fast, unpredictable, worth it
Moments like this are where cinematic B-roll comes alive. Fast-moving, unpredictable, and worth every second in the air.
Not everything is shot from the air
The aerial work is part of the coverage for Broken Country, a documentary we have been shooting with the team at 28.11 Productions. Most of that project looks nothing like this: controlled interview setups, soft lighting, clean audio, simple setups built so the attention stays where it belongs, on the story. Aerial B-roll is the other half of the same job.
On a project like this, strong sound, camera work, and aerial footage all come together to support the final production.
