CREATIVE USE OF A GIFT

 

Many people received drones as Christmas gifts this year. But few have turned that gift into a business like Micah Morrell.

Micah received his first drone several years ago. After practicing for several months, he was invited to produce a travel film in Alaska. Another year went by, and he found himself graduating from college without a job. So he picked up the drone again and along with some friends convinced Subaru to loan him a car so he could make some videos. The result was a film that Subaru used as a television commercial.

“That’s where things got interesting,” says Micah. He filmed a monster truck show on the west coast, made a commercial for the largest Subaru dealer in the nation, and founded Drone Scope Media. Just recently he has filmed in Iceland, Mexico, and at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Drone Scope Media has completed projects for Proterra, Destination Alaska Charters, the Wonderful Company, Shopify, and Daily Driven, as well as Subaru.
