“Sticks”
It’s not the same
At Cutbank, aerial footage isn’t an add-on. It’s a craft. We fly at 8k with whatever lens we want and that is what makes us capable of capturing true cinematic imagery that looks nothing like standard drone footage. The result is cleaner motion, richer color, and a level of depth and polish you simply don’t get from off-the-shelf setups (everyone else)
But the drone doesn’t fly itself. Cole “sticks” Netten, Cutbank’s lead pilot, approaches every flight like a filmmaker, not a hobbyist. Every move is intentional. Every shot is designed to serve the story, the brand, and the final cut, not just grab a cool angle. Cole and Kyle tag team the drone and dual pilot- one flys and the other controls the camera. We don’t use toys.
Most drone footage shows you where something is. Ours shows you why it matters.
