Another project with the amazing team over at know film! For this project we utilized both traditional drones and FPV drones.
Indoor drone filming allows filmmakers to explore unique perspectives and angles that would be challenging or impossible to achieve with traditional camera setups. Drones can effortlessly weave through tight spaces creating dynamic shots in the process. Setting up and tearing down elaborate equipment can be time-consuming, especially when shooting in confined spaces. Drones can be deployed quickly, saving valuable time during production. Their ability to capture multiple angles in a single take reduces the need for extensive reshooting, streamlining the filmmaking process and eliminating the need for large camera jibs and cranes.
FPV
FPV drone footage has the ability to fly complex and intricate flight patterns. This creative freedom enables filmmakers to experiment with unconventional angles and narratives. Check out this one-take drone shot we created for Maxi Mover, this footage was then added in snippets to the main video.

Always a blast to be working with the amazing team over at Hewitt & Walker. This time a very unique was to showcase Electronics Direct’s site in Yorkshire, watch below;
This was a very intricate flight with a heavily choreographed route, the team over at Electronics Direct wanted to do something a little bit different and showcase the space and the team by showing their favourite hobbies.
Using our sub-250g FPV drone meant we could fly around the site and staff safely, with practice flights taking place before the shoot to navigate the route meant that the shot only took three takes in the early morning before work starts. We have since then retired this drone and flying an upgraded version.
All post-production work was carried out by Hewitt & Walker.

We cant resist having a fly about when we spot a combine in harvest.
Some shots from our DJI Mavic 3, testing out the ‘explore’ lens with a few FPV shots. This was shot last year during the peak of harvest, shot with full automatic settings.
The last harvest in this field for this farmer, he asked us to take a couple of pictures and videos for their records. One of my favorite testimonials comes from this shoot…

Here's a look at Frankenstein's Avata, our modified DJI Avata smart FPV drone with a duel camera set up. All the bells and whistles of a smart FPV drone with GoPro camera quality and ReelSteady stabilisation.
Super impressed with what DJI managed to do with this system, however the GoPro image quality is just better (in my opinion)… so why not both? Our Avata can record both through the DJI camera boasting 4K 50p at 150mbs as well as our naked GoPro Hero 8 (soon to be upgraded).

One of the first shoots of the year this year was with our friends over at Commuter Films! For this project we were tasked with shooting a range of accomdation sites at the University of Lincoln.
Shooting at sunrise is always worth getting up for when you get light like this. Using our DJI Mavic 3 CINE capturing low light scenes in stunning 5.1K is no problem. Using the 10-bit D-Log color profile gives huge felxibilty in post production allowing the drone shots to fit seamlessly into any project.

The home of indoor karting in Lincolnshire…
This project was alot of fun to work on with the team over at Gridline Racing. The aim of the project was to showcase the space in a single take from entering the building to having a lap around the track!
To do this we used the smallest of our FPV drones, although small it carries a stripped GoPro 8, capable of capturing high quality footage whilst still being lightweight.
The process of these one-shots, involves an on site risk assessment, range test with the FPV drones, practice flights and then the final takes.
Our FPV service is becoming increasingly popular as a unique way to showcase certain spaces, if you are interested or have any questions about the process just give us a call or send over an email.
