Apple, iPhone 15 Pro
For Apple's iPhone 15 Pro campaign, Love Song and director Daniel Wolfe took the camera into an active volcanic landscape in Iceland.
Andriu FPV carried roughly 25 kilograms of cinema equipment across 13 kilometres on foot, then flew a RAW system beside the lava with a two-person unit and no conventional production infrastructure.
The Challenge
The location could only be reached by carrying roughly 25 kilograms of cinema FPV equipment for approximately 13 kilometres on foot. The operating unit was reduced to two people, the pilot and one assistant, working beside active lava in an environment with heat, volcanic terrain and no conventional production infrastructure. There was no easy replacement or recovery plan once at the site.
Our Approach
We reduced the workflow to an expedition-scale cinema unit without sacrificing the RAW camera system. Every item carried had to justify its weight, and the flight plan was shaped by real-time volcanic conditions and safe access. The small footprint allowed the team to reach and film an environment that a standard commercial unit could not approach with the same freedom.
