HIJACK SEASON 2

Platform: Apple TV+

DOP: Ed Moore BSC

Drone Pilot: Pete Ayriss & Luke Bannister

Aerial DP: Phil Arntz

For a police helicopter searchlight sequence, Ed Moore BSC needed a narrow, high-intensity beam. No off-the-shelf solution existed — so Pete Ayriss and the team engineered a purpose-built torch, custom-mounted to a drone, delivering exactly the quality of light the sequence required.

For a second sequence, an FPV drone with a RED Raptor attached raced through a tunnel at speed, replicating the sweep of train lights catching the walls as the drone flew the train's POV.

"It was the only solution that would move fast enough."

— Ed Moore BSC, DOP
