Sultana – Summer Programs from Aloft on Vimeo.
Accompanying the announcement of its 2016 children’s Summer Program schedule, the Sultana Education Foundation released a new promotional video produced in partnership with Aloft-Imaging, a video production company with offices in Kent County. The video features some spectacular extensive aerial footage of the schooner SULTANA, filmed over the course of the summer of 2015, along with interviews with the Foundation’s staff and crew.
“Marc Porter and the entire Aloft-Imaging team did an incredible job putting this video together,” said Sultana Vice President Chris Cerino who was on-hand for much of the filming. “The Aloft crew spent several days sailing on SULTANA last summer with our students, often launching their fleet of drones from small boats in the middle of the Cerino had the unenviable task of being the official “drone catcher” for much of the production. Donning a pair of protective Kevlar gloves, Cerino’s job was to stand on the bow of the pitching 18-foot chase boat used for filming and catch the video drones as the remote pilot brought them in for a landing. Any small error or unexpected roll of the boat easily could have sent the multi-thousand dollar drones into the Chesapeake, or even worse, into Cerino’s head.
Fortunately, production wrapped up without incident and the resulting video gives the viewer a true glimpse of what it’s like for students to spend a summer week sailing and learning on SULTANA.
