Above Summit is widely recognized for its focus on cinematic drone production and architectural storytelling. Their work often highlights aerial cinematography used to capture landscapes, buildings, infrastructure projects, and visually striking environments. Many of their productions emphasize sweeping aerial visuals and cinematic perspectives that showcase locations and architecture in a dramatic way.

Bernardson provides a broader commercial production approach that combines video production, professional commercial photography, and marketing-focused brand storytelling. While aerial footage can certainly be part of a project, Bernardson’s productions are typically designed to support broader marketing strategies rather than focusing primarily on drone cinematography.

Yes. Many Bernardson productions capture both commercial photography and video during the same production session. This integrated workflow allows businesses to generate a wide range of visual assets efficiently while maintaining a consistent creative direction.

For example, during a single production day a company may film a promotional video while also capturing executive portraits, product photography, workplace imagery, and social media visuals. Producing both photography and video together ensures that all content shares the same visual style, lighting approach, and brand aesthetic.

Traditional studios shoot content in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped Instagram posts, awkward TikTok videos, and underperforming content.

We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram Stories/TikTok), square (1:1 for Instagram feed), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube/LinkedIn) simultaneously during production. Each platform gets content designed specifically for its format and audience behavior, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
