With a 4 AM start, we headed down to the Aswan fields, on the side of the river Nile. Right before sunrise, teams of 8 filled up the balloons, keeping them grounded with long ropes. At sunrise, we flew off into the sky where we admired the sugar cane fields and the Valley of the Kings, an Egyptian treasure.

Aside from the incredible experience, I had one job: short-form content. Filming vertically, I was constantly switching settings based on the rising sun and the angle of the balloon.

Using a GoPro, camera, and phone, I managed to capture various angles and styles of content, which was provided to the team and used for promotional social media content.
