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.
If you are interested in a flythrough of your business or property get in touch today!

Drones have revolutionized the world of aerial cinematography, capturing breathtaking footage and providing viewers with unique perspectives. FPV (First-Person View) drones have gained immense popularity due to their ability to capture thrilling and immersive footage. Today, we're excited to introduce our new FPV drone showreel!
From Mountain Diving to flying through WW2 Lancaster Bombers, these drones push the boundaries of what's possible.
FPV drones possess the unique ability to capture perspectives that were previously unattainable. These small, nimble crafts can fly through tight spaces, weave between obstacles, and navigate with astonishing precision.

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.

Last summer we worked with Wallbreaker Productions on a variety of projects. For this shoot were tasked with providing dynamic shots at Revesby Estate for a series of case studies they produced for Duncan & Toplis.
For this shoot we used the Inspire 2, due to the portability and lightweight frame of the Inspire, it meant we could travel across the estate to multiple locations to capture footage for the project in the narrow time window we had on the day.

This was our first shoot with Copper Crayon, we were commissioned to capture establishing aerial shots over a number of sites across Norfolk and Suffolk for a series of videos they produced for the National Trust.
Last summer we worked with Wallbreaker Productions on a variety of projects. For this shoot were tasked with providing dynamic shots of the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln for a series of case studies they produced for Duncan & Toplis.
For this shoot we primarily used the Inspire 2 as we could switch out lenses for a variety of shots. As the site started to get a little busier we switched to the Mavic 2, this drone is a lot quieter and less intrusive which was ideal for such a sensitive area.

We were hired by Choir for a three day shoot in Ulm, Germany for a project they were producing for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Take a virtual tour of Teva's state-of-the-art biopharmaceutical facility in Ulm, Germany, and meet the people leading the way to the next generation of medicines.
We assisted on the ground as a second camera as well as shooting the aerial footage for the project. We can travel worldwide with minimal expense and capture high quality footage both on the ground and in the air.
For this project we shot out of one hand luggage suitcase, out kitlist included;
Lenses, batteries, tripod, sound gear, chargers, etc.
Even with a small set up like this we were able to shoot smooth and cinematic 4K footage for our client.

An elevated perspective - do I really need it?
Drone photography allows you to explore unchartered territory; to get those impressive, cinematic shots from a perspective otherwise missed.
Whether this is something you’ve been thinking about for a while, or something that has never crossed your mind, there’s no denying that drone wedding photography and video is on the rise. It’s worth reading on to help you make your mind up as to whether drones have a place at your wedding.
Hiring a beautiful venue? Getting married somewhere unique? A perspective from the sky can show your venue’s grandeur, character and quirks in a way that filming from the ground just can’t.
1. First up - check your venue thoughts and policies
If you’re thinking of an urban warehouse slap bang in the middle of London city, then there’s a chance drone videos might not be for you, but each venue will have its own policies on drones - we’ll always check these out before you book!
2. How much?
It’s likely to be less than you think to hire out a drone to capture the key moments of your day, and it’s certainly worth it for the peace of mind of being in the hands of a professional. We can work alongside your photographer and videographer, or provide an edited highlights video ourselves - it completely depends on what works for your day.
3. Do you just capture a few moments throughout the day?
One of the best parts about having a drone’s perspective is being able to be creative - it’s not just the set moments that come to mind throughout the wedding day, but those you might not expect, such as during a sparkler arch, for example. Having an outdoor ceremony? We can fly unobtrusively and from a distance to really show off your setting!
4. Will it match up to the quality of our professional photos and video?
The technology for drones is developing at an accelerated pace - even we’re amazed by the quality of our kit! We can shoot in file formats parallel to those your photographer and videographer will be working with, to ensure the footage fits seamlessly with your day.
5. Will it take up time in our schedule to have drone photos as well?
The bonus of hiring a specialized drone pilot alongside your videographer and photographer is that while they’re busy capturing you in the midst of all your celebrations, we’ve got plenty of time to get ready for the next flight!
Your photos and videos will shape your lasting memories of your day, and an aerial perspective is the perfect compliment to that. It showcases your day, the beautiful venue you’ve chosen, and even those wide grins on your faces - we pride ourselves in offering a perspective that’s creative and unique, and not just the top of your heads!
