Motion State

We are honored to have Daughter’s Defender nominated at the International Motor Film Awards - for ‘Best Creative Film’. This is a Motion State self funded spec car commercial spot that was inspired by the search and rescue heroes of our communities, who put their lives on the line so others may live.

Special thank you to our cast, community and crew who donated their time and put their all into this film. Working schedules around the snow was a concern and challenge. When an unexpected winter snow storm hit in the Cascade Mountains, everyone rallied within a 24-48 hour notice to pull this passion project off. The objective of collaborating to make this content took on a whole new meaning when we all got to experience the harsh elements and realities search and rescue teams are faced with when rescuing others. The cast and crew devotedly worked through temperatures well below zero to bring this father/ daughter search and rescue story to life.

We hope this short film helps shed light on the work that the search and rescue hidden hero’s of our communities do. Thank you to and Steve Rimmer for bringing life and authenticity to this film.

Thank you to our team who bought so much passion to this project. This spot is the bi-product of your positive and collaborative kinetic energy on set.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our film family. Today is all about giving thanks to the people who mean the most to you and to us that is our team who works through the mud, the rain and the snow to help us bring the most epic visuals to life. It’s without our entire team’s dedication we would not be the company we are today. Thank you all for your hard work but most importantly being just a pleasure to be around each and every day on set. We hope you are all getting some much needed rest and spending time your loved ones. See you out in the field soon! With Love, Amber, Corey, Ryan and Sam.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we wanted to say thank you to our amazing team and show them in action. Our favorite days are out in the field with you all. We know it has been a challenging year for everyone and we can’t wait to get the team back together again soon. Thanks for making Motion State the incredible team it is today!

Rippin into the weekend. Thanks 1st AD Kelly Flynn for always keeping us safe. 📷

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone. Hope you all are out there enjoying yourselves! We are spending our weekend shooting some golf for and testing out some new toys. Pictured here is our good friend and killer DP with his new Artemis Steadicam shooting on Hole 10 of Prospector Golf Course.

That’s a wrap on #2023 Thank you .productions and for representing Motion State and bringing home some bangin shots! The team brought live drone footage to devices around the world, from deep in the British Columbia and Alaskan backcountry. Glad y’all made it out safe. Thank you and for trusting in us to capture the action from the air. 🚁🎥🏂💨
