Microsoft Silicon Valley Campus | Aerial Footage + Specialty Cinematics | Behind the Scenes


This video, showcasing our aerial footage and specialty RED cinematics, takes Framework Films' viewers behind the scenes of Microsoft's landmark Silicon Valley Campus in Mountain View, providing context and insights from both the Construction Phase 1 titled "Microsoft's Silicon Valley Campus - Sustainably Built, People Centered Design" and Completion Phase 2 titled "Silicon Valley Campus – A Modern Workplace Built for Connection".

This video production, which spanned more than 2 years of filming, was captured using multiple DJI Inspire 2 Drones with Zenmuse X7, a RED Gemini, a RED Komodo, and a DJI Ronin 2. Framework Films brings leading industry tools and technologies to capture Microsoft's Silicon Valley Campus in stunning 4K+ quality. These video assets, animated 3D/2D motion graphics, and client deliverables from our Production Company and Studio shaped and strengthened Microsoft's communication strategy in Silicon Valley to highlight their involvement in the globally recognized technology hub.

In this Specialty Cinematics 'making of' video, Framework Films introduces their team, discusses Microsoft's integration in Silicon Valley, showcases drone and cinema camera methodologies, summarizes the FAA permit approval process to fly in proximity to NASA's Moffett Federal Airfield, emphasizes the importance of consistent natural light 2 years between production dates, and reviews occupational health and safety procedures while on-set. Many hours of planning and numerous site visits contributed to the success of this campaign. We hope you enjoy our perspective from behind the scenes!
