Lilia Waikiki
Honolulu, Hawaii
Strategic Value
CPM utilized 4K drone cinematography to capture the specialized operations of the Flying Forklift within the dense Waikiki urban corridor, while POV action cameras and handheld shots documented the technical grit and precision of the workforce. By blending field-engineered documentation with cinematic visuals, CPM provided a construction promotional video that establishes the client's authority to execute the complex urban rigging challenges in the Pacific. This high-impact media serves as a strategic sales tool, utilized to influence general contractors and developers throughout the competitive bid proposal process.
Unique Challenges
Documenting the Flying Forklift required a zero-room-for-error approach to safety. Because the project involved high-stakes lifts in the vicinity of active pedestrian corridors and roadways, CPM worked directly with the tower crane operator to establish safe flight windows, ensuring strict spatial separation between the aerial drone services and the active construction rigging.
About The Video
CPM was commissioned to document the deployment of the Flying Forklift in the construction of Lilia Waikiki. The mission was to capture the intersection of this specialized glazing engineering equipment, the technical skill of the Hawaii Union workforce, and the high-visibility nature of this construction project in Waikiki.
