About two months ago, Harris got a new job with an aerial footage company called Pixair. He is a producer and is loving it! Basically his job is to build relationships with potential clients and then sell their services to those clients.
What is special about them is that they use a remote controlled helicopter that runs on a battery and a camera is mounted to it. The two guys that started the business operate it. One flies it and the other wears these goggles that show him only what the camera sees and then controls the camera. Since they aren't using gas, a real helicopter, a camera or helicopter crew, the cost is dramatically lower to get these shots.
They work with a lot of resorts and national parks and travel all over the world. They have also done a few movies and are currently in Florida filming great white sharks for National Geographic! The perk of this job is that as producer, Harris gets to travel with them to any job he sells (and a few others) and bring his lovely, ever grateful wife!
We are super excited about this job and I am so proud of him!
This is something Pixair shot for the news when the Provo tabernacle burned down.
