THE SHEEP DETECTIVES

Director: Kyle Balda, Cinematographer: George Steel BSC

Drone Pilot: Pete Ayriss, Aerial DOP: Will Roth

A Working Title production directed by Kyle Balda and written by Craig Mazin, with an extraordinary ensemble cast including Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston and Patrick Stewart. The Sheep Detectives required extensive aerial plate work for VFX — the Inspire 3's precision and repeatability making it the right tool for the volume and accuracy of coverage required across the English countryside locations.

George Steel BSC brought Pete Ayriss and Will Roth onto the production, an ongoing collaboration that reflects the trust built across multiple projects.
