SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: A View From Above\, the Art & Craft of Drone Cinematography
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:30 pm | Presentation: 7 pm \nCrosstown Arts and Indie Memphis invite you to look skyward\, toward the increasingly popular world of aerial drone cinematography. With the advent of more affordable tech\, snagging high-flying shots in your low-budget short or commercial project is no longer a pie-in-the-sky dream.  \nFor this edition of Shoot & Splice\, we’re discussing what it takes to be an aerial maverick with three of the best drone cinematographers in Memphis.\n \n\nPANELISTS \nWIL “HYPE” EVANS \nWil “Hype” Evans is a highly skilled producer\, UAV/drone pilot\, USAF veteran and part of the team at House of Shoots. At 15\, he began producing television shows and commercials in the Memphis area\, alongside his Emmy-winning brother\, Rahn. To earn money for college\, he joined the USAF at 18\, where he received a wide variety of training in mechanics and communication. After his service\, Wil harnessed his diverse interests\, skills and military experience to become an entrepreneur in the world of video/tv production\, eventually finding aerial film a perfect match.  \nHis aerial film credits include music videos with artists such as Future and Hot Boys rapper\, Turk\, as well as television shows like So You Think You Can Dance. Hype has a high-energy personality and a keen attention to detail. A club DJ by hobby\, he has a love for music and never stops dancing. (Some may call him hyper-active.) \nRYAN GOBLE \nRyan Goble is a Memphis-based Director of Photography well-versed in lighting\, sound and editing with over 17 years of experience shooting everything from Emmy/Academy Award-winning documentaries to commercial productions to reality television. His gear of choice for aerial filming are CineStar copters and Jimmy Jibs.  \nAARON JAFFE \nBorn and raised in Memphis\, Aaron Jaffe has an extensive background in marketing\, management and creative direction\, which makes him an excellent fit to bring the Flyral concept to the Mid-South. The company successfully launched in July of 2014 as a drone services startup and transformed into a multi-faceted content marketing company in 2015\, with the addition of graphic design\, branding and digital marketing services. With a portfolio featuring clients such as Volvo\, AEP River Operations\, Pannattoni Development\, Crown Winery\, CB Richard Ellis\, West Clinic and the Shopping Center Group\, Flyral has proven that the sky is not the limit\, just a source of endless possibility.  \nAaron earned his BA and MSBA from the University of Memphis and has held leadership positions in the startup\, healthcare\, technology and marketing fields ever since. A lifelong creative\, he is an experienced graphic designer and proficient in a wide variety of Adobe Creative Cloud programs. \nDiagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic at the age of three\, Aaron also spends time speaking to Diabetic groups throughout the US about his accomplishments\, challenges and experience as an endurance athlete. When not working or traveling\, he can usually be found trail running or spending time with his loving family: wife\, Devon; daughter\, Ellis; and son\, Owen. \n
