The Challenge: Racing the Sun (and the Golfers)
As part of our 18 Greens secondary brand, we set out to feature all 18 holes of the iconic Bully Pulpit Golf Course in a cinematic, aerial format. The primary hurdle was the logistics of a busy course—we had to capture the breathtaking beauty of the North Dakota Badlands without disrupting play or missing the perfect light.
Our Approach: High-Speed Cinematic Execution
Execution required a mix of careful planning and rapid on-site movement:
-
The “Golden Hour” Strategy: We captured all atmosphere and “golden hour” shots immediately after the course closed on day one, ensuring the Badlands looked their most majestic.
-
The 3.5-Hour Sprint: Starting early the next morning, we filmed all 18 holes in just three and a half hours, staying ahead of the first golfers of the day.
-
Advanced Post-Production: We utilized VFX, compositing, and advanced color grading to enhance the natural beauty of the course and create a seamless, high-end viewing experience.
The Result: A Badlands Masterpiece
The final film offers a stunning, hole-by-hole look at Bully Pulpit that is as functional for golfers as it is beautiful for fans of the Medora Foundation. It successfully showcases the rugged elegance of North Dakota golf in a way that only cinematic aerials can.
