Deliverables are color-graded and edit-ready.
Beyond cinematic work, I operate a professional RTK/PPK survey platform using u-blox M8T GNSS receivers, Digi XBee radio mesh telemetry, and a custom 5-node ground control network — delivering sub-centimeter (~1 cm) horizontal accuracy for survey and mapping clients.
