Take your video to a whole new level

aerial

Drones have totally revolutionised the video production industry; capturing footage that traditional camera work can only dream of.

Whether you need to showcase the size & scale of your operations, obtain high angle shots at an upcoming event or survey a property for record-keeping purposes, drone technology lets you film bird’s eye footage that will simply wow your audience.

Our CAA approved pilots hold all the necessary qualifications to safely operate drones, making us a ‘one stop shop’ solution for all your video production needs.

What is aerial?

Aerial simply refers to footage captured from the air. It’s often combined with ground based footage; helping to set the scene and put the overarching video into context.

Where aerial shoots in the past required a helicopter or crane (not forgetting a blockbuster budget), the use of drones make them significantly cheaper and quicker.

From factory premises through to live events, incorporating aerial in your video helps to give viewers a different perspective that may not be visible from the ground up – raising the quality of your entire video and setting it apart from your competition.

As well as requiring the usual permissions locally, anyone operating a drone is required to obtain a Permission for Commercial Operations (PfCO) and follow strict Health & Safety guidelines set out by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Take a look at a selection of our recent interviews below to help give you some inspiration!
