Espace
Renault Espace needed one move to begin with dialogue in the car, clear its windscreen and become full FPV flight near Teide.
For QUAD and director Lukas Tielke, Andriu FPV designed and CNC-machined a low-profile launch mount that stayed outside the camera's view, released the drone smoothly and reduced the transition's need for CGI cleanup to almost nothing.

The location combined protected natural environments at more than 2,000 metres of altitude in Teide National Park, demanding permits and strong wind. The signature shot began with talent speaking inside the Espace before the camera appeared to leave the windscreen and fly away. The launch had to be exceptionally smooth, the rig could not be visible on the car and post-production cleanup had to remain minimal.
We designed and CNC-manufactured an ultra-compact, low-profile launch mount specifically for the vehicle. Its geometry held the drone securely while keeping the hardware outside the camera's visual footprint. Extensive testing produced a gentle release that preserved the dialogue moment and transitioned seamlessly into full FPV flight, with almost no CGI removal required.
