The port of Ghent covers a vast area and is largely unknown territory for outsiders. Nevertheless, dozens of enterprises are based in the port, often working with state-of-the-art technology. Water-link is one of those organizations. Whilst water-link is mostly known as the drinking water supplier for the Antwerp region, the organization is also responsible for large-scale water treatment for the industrial sector in the port of Ghent. To showcase a brand-new project of theirs, water-link called on our experts. This marked the start of a story that went from outings with a racing drone to helicopter footage…

The port of Ghent covers a vast area and is over 32 kilometres long. That is too stretched-out for even the most advanced of camera drones that we love to work with. Their maximum flight height is limited. We took this restriction as a perfect opportunity to send in the cavalry in the form of a helicopter.

Our team went all out for the shoot. We opted for the Insta 360 Titan as our 360° camera of choice. We attached the camera to an extended tripod, which we then lowered down from the open helicopter door. This footage gave us a panoramic view of the port in unprecedented detail.

After a few weeks of hard work in post-production, the combined 360-degree video and virtual tour went live. The brand-new perspective of the port of Ghent adds to water-link’s storytelling and helps to shed light on the technical side of the water processing plant. The result? A worthy alternative for an opening event, showing the port of Ghent at its best.
