Working with Padilla, this project with Canadian National Railway centered on showcasing their new rail lines and their commitment to making shipping more efficient for customers. The two-day shoot required some unique logistics while capturing footage from various angles and perspectives around the Chicago area. To capture the scripted traffic reporter read, we utilized a Chicago helicopter hangar as our set. The video also featured aerial shots captured by drones, highlighting the routes, congestion, and other elements CN Rail travels through. Additionally, the team mounted GoPros on the trains to capture footage from the train's perspective. In post-production, these elements were woven together, creating a "live" traffic report that emphasized the advantages of Canadian National Railway's new EJ&E line.
