Awaken is a documentary film exploring humanity's relationship with technology and with the natural world. Shot over a 5-year period in more than 30 countries, the film pioneers new timelapse, time-dilation, underwater, and aerial cinematography techniques to give audiences new eyes with which to see our world. AWAKEN is a celebration of the spirit of life, an exploration of the Earth, and an ode to the Cosmos.

Caul Media (a production company co-owned by SDM owner Jeremy Hunt) was given a clean slate to create a series of unique dance films for the Swisher Sweets Artist Project. SDM came in for post and created a unique visual style and look that highlighted the dancer rather than just filming moves. We think it turned out amazing.
The latest insanity from Red Bull Media House is a visually stunning piece that features eight disciplines of aerial sports converging over the Fisher Towers in Moab, Utah. SDM was tasked with bringing everything into a cohesive visual package. The challenge of combining multiple camera formats shot in both spherical and anamorphic combined with VFX work (don’t worry, everything presented is real) creates a seamless viewing experience.
SDM also created a 6K 7:1 formatted version for the new Barco Escape projection format. Three screens wrap around the audience for a truly unique experience.

SDM has also completed over 450 VFX shots for the full length feature.
Red Bull Media House put together this amazing piece to visually breakdown some of the most difficult tricks in the sport of freestyle skiing.

In addition to the VFX work, SDM conformed colored and finished the piece.
