MasterCraft 300 Helicopter shoot
Posted on: August 13, 2009
Project: MasterCraft 300
Client: MasterCraft Boats
Involvement: Mark - Camera Operator
Rod - Assistant Camera
For the new 300, MasterCraft’s largest boat ever, it was agreed that we need to shoot the running footage with a Helicopter. The photoboat available to us in Tennessee was just not big enough.

So MasterCraft hired Preston to come up from Florida and we were able to work around some minor weather. Mark wasn’t quiet happy with the footage from the morning so we moved some stuff around and were able to go back out in the afternoon. The next day we shot interiors and lifestyle.
Big thanks to Jason Boertje, MasterCraft Marketing Director and Rod Parmenter who filled in for Eric on this trip.
Preston flying low so we didn’t need to get a photoboat. (thanks Jack Parker for the pictures)

Preston, our helicopter pilot, does allot of the work for us. He has been flying for so long and specializes in boat that the great footage we get is primarily his talent coming through the lens.
