Super Yacht Silvertip
An epic full on shoot for super yacht Silvertip to capture images and video of the interior, exterior and sailing performance. The footage was created for yacht brokerage and charter advertising.
The initial idea was to take the yacht to Waiheke Island and find a nice white sandy beach to be the backdrop for the shoot. I thought about this for a while and came up with an alternative proposal. I felt that the sleek lines of the yacht would look amazing with more rugged and dramatic scenery. My suggestion was to take Silvertip to a place that I have sailed to many times, Port Fitzroy, Great Barrier Island.
I met the yacht Port Fitzroy and spent two full days filming and shooting. Day one was dedicated to interior and exterior coverage at anchor. Day two was all action, capturing the boat sailing and showcasing the performance.

Even though it is a massive boat I still managed to find the most challenging spots to get my preferred camera angle and composition.

The ultimate team. Taking turns driving the chase boat for each other while capturing epic sailing images and drone video .
