TheGrill is an annual conference put on by TheWrap and addresses innovation in Hollywood where media, entertainment and technology converge. The Contend team was on hand to provide a demo of Contend Aerial and discuss how aerial is changing the game in production by offering a completely new perspective in video for brands and Hollywood.
"Contend brings together licensed pilots, post-production and distribution in a new way, allowing us to capture unparalleled imagery that only an aerial platform can provide," Steven Amato, CEO and founder, Contend. "Our Contend Aerial offering continues our promise to innovate and disrupt the traditional entertainment, advertising and media industries with the most unique and provocative storytelling methods available."
Contend Aerial offers FAA-certified and award-winning licensed pilots, journalists and producers to create one-of-a-kind, on location productions. The company has already executed drone shoots for a major retail/fashion brand and beverage company to support programming for their original TV service and features. As a full-service content creation studio, Contend also provides post-production optimization and editing for quick to market distribution.
