Preserving Aviation Through Media

Why Aero Insight Media Was Created

Aero Insight Media was born from a lifelong passion for aviation and a desire to preserve aircraft history through high-quality video production.


My fascination with aircraft began early, going over books filled with airplane specifications and images. This interest, combined with my degree in TV production and years of professional video experience, led to the creation of Aero Insight Media.

Aero Insight Media's Goals:

  • Document aviation history with cutting-edge camera equipment and video editing techniques.

  • Provide a fresh perspective on aviation content, combining professional video production skills with a genuine passion for aircraft.

  • Create digital aviation media that serves both enthusiasts and industry professionals.

Origin

The idea sparked after attempting to film the Thunder Over Louisville airshow in 2022.

Despite initial challenges, I persevered, refining my techniques and equipment setup. By 2023, I had developed a unique approach to capturing smooth, high-quality footage of aircraft in flight.

About

Hello, Eric Stemen here, the founder of Aero Insight media. I’d like to give you a little more insight into who I am and how I do what I do.

I’ve been in the media creation business for nearly two decades, working with everyone from Walmart and Menards to small startups doing things like opening restaurants. While I enjoy working with these companies and make great content for them, I’m really passionate about creating aviation media.

As a solo entrepreneur, you might be wondering how one person can offer all the services I listed in the more formal section above this “read more” area. There’s no one single answer, but it’s a combination of technological progress and years of experience. What used to take a team of 5 to 10 people can now be done solo or with a small crew thanks to the tens of thousands of designers and engineers dedicated to creating the tools I use every day.  What I regularly carry in my camera backpack is equivalent to what would have filled a truck in the 1980s!

Expertise

Using high end gear is only part of the equation. Having all this technology at my fingertips isn’t worth much if I don’t know how to use it. It’s like having the world’s best guitar – it’ll still sound terrible if you don’t know how to play. The same goes for cameras and software; it’s about knowing how to use these tools to tell compelling stories and provide content people actually want to see.

Anyone can point a camera at an airplane, but turning that raw footage into something that captivates an audience? That’s where the real skill comes in. I’ve spent the last 20 years honing this craft, ensuring I can represent your business in the best light possible. My goal is to create content that not only showcases your aircraft or company but also tells your unique story in a way that your audience can relate to.

 

Philosophy

Aero Insight Media isn’t just a collection of random aviation videos—it’s where my passion for creating incredible content meets my fascination with aircraft. By stabilizing footage, I enable you to truly see how these machines work, offering detailed insights that were unimaginable just a few years ago.

When you work with me, you’re getting someone who pours their heart into every project. I believe that genuine interest in the subject and the creator’s skill make the difference between good and great content.

Whether you need an “About Us” video, an airshow highlight reel, a press kit, or website content, I’m here to bring your vision to life. Let’s create something amazing together!
