Cutting-edge technology high in the sky!
Along the East Lamar Alexander Parkway in Maryville, Tennessee Monday morning, commuters saw something exciting in the air. An impressive 10 foot helium ball attached to an elaborate, remote control HD camera was seen floating 'up, up and away' above the traffic. Jacob Timmons, president and founder of S.D. Professionals, LLC and media designer Craig Simpson, caught the attention of the NBC 10 Weather Plus local news reporter Ken Schwall, while teaming up to capture aerial photos of a local business to be used for marketing. Since January of 2008, Timmons has been busy shooting new aerial photography and video with their fleet of helium balloons and blimps, each known as the "EagleEye in the Sky." S.D. Professionals, LLC owns three blimps of various sizes, plus designed and piloted the world’s first small scale remote controlled Goodyear Blimp with wireless HD Video transmission, used in January for the 2008 Goodyear dealer tradeshow in Grapevine, Texas. Producing images which are catered to the personal needs of his client, Timmons can photograph practically any site or event using high quality, high resolution, high definition, unique and cost effective equipment. With custom remote control cameras and aerial high definition video, S.D. Professionals, LLC gathers media in a spectacular way that no ordinary photographers can duplicate. Flying high over the restrictions and distractions of normal sight lines, the sophisticated balloon offers far better quality than a shaky helicopter ride and is much more affordable than the conventional practice of aerial shots with the high-wind, high noise, high altitude helicopters and single engine planes. "We've been taking aerial shots for years, but we've been using helicopters. And the price of gas goes up, so the price of the helicopter ride goes up," said Timmons. "Needless to say, helium is cheaper than helicopter fuel these days plus we have devised a Green-Solution which allows us to reuse our helium time and time again.
