PRE-FLIGHT SAFETY VIDEO
CLIENT // Sonoma Ballooning Adventures
The Project:
Sonoma Ballooning Adventures partnered with us to create a visually engaging pre-flight safety video that would not only inform passengers, but also reflect the magic and professionalism of their hot air balloon experience over wine country. Our team was brought in to deliver a project that balanced safety messaging with the awe-inspiring visuals of a balloon flight. Over the course of two production days, starting before sunrise at 4:30 AM, we worked closely with their flight crew to capture every key detail from briefing to landing.
What We Captured:
To elevate this project beyond a traditional safety video, we leaned into cinematic visuals and immersive storytelling. Our deliverables included:
Early-morning golden hour footage to capture the serene beauty of takeoff
In-balloon footage from pilot and passenger perspectives to bring viewers into the experience
Extensive drone cinematography to showcase the scale, movement, and breathtaking landscape
Photography and vertical content for use across social, marketing, and internal training
Multiple deliverables and assets tailored for different platforms and use case
Why It Matters:
A pre-flight safety video isn’t just a regulatory step, it’s a chance to reinforce brand trust, set the tone for an unforgettable experience, and highlight the expertise behind the adventure. By blending high production value with clear communication, we helped Sonoma Ballooning Adventures deliver a video that educates while leaving a lasting impression. The result is a safety asset that passengers actually want to watch, one that mirrors the thrill and care that defines their flights.
