(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Corner Bar Management have unveiled “Downtown Las Vegas Nightlife in One Take,” a one-shot drone video transporting viewers to the same electrifying block of the Fremont East Entertainment District in Downtown Las Vegas.
Produced by JayByrd Films and set to “Joy Ride” by Las Vegas’ The Killers, the 2:40, continuous, one-shot perspective weaves in and out of Corner Bar’s clubs, bars and restaurants.
The video debuted on an Instagram collaboration, linked here, by the LVCVA on @vegas, Downtown Las Vegas’ page, @DTLV; and three of Corner Bar’s destinations featured in the video: Park on Fremont at @parkonfremont, DISCOPUSSY at @discopussy and We All Scream at @weallscreamvegas.
“We sought to create a video that captures the vibrant spirit of the Fremont East Entertainment District, a curated collection of unique nightlife spots designed for the ultimate bar crawl,” said Ryan Doherty, founder of Corner Bar Management. “What JayByrd Films captured with their bird’s-eye view surpassed all my expectations. It’s absolutely mind-blowing.”
Taking place on East Fremont Street between Las Vegas Boulevard and Carson Avenue, additional featured venues include Cheapshot, Commonwealth, La Mona Rosa and Lucky Day. Capturing seamless continuous shots across the seven locations, the video provides a unique perspective through using a GoPro Hero 12 mounted on a custom-built sub-250 drone.
Directed by Jay Christensen and Doherty, with Christensen also serving as the drone operator and director of photography, the project was produced by Emily Erhart, with Gian Lorenzo Ferretti as the assistant camera and Erik Nelson as co-producer. Post-production sound design was completed by Taylor Lewin and Christensen, with the Killers providing licensing for "Joy Ride" to accompany the video.
