Drone Filming & Aerial Videography
Aerial footage of your site, your building or your town, planned in with the rest of the shoot.
One more angle, planned like the rest
A drone shot can do in five seconds what a paragraph can’t: show the size of a site, where a building sits, or how far a town stretches. It’s usually a small part of a film, so we plan it like one.
We work with CAA-approved drone operators we trust, so the flight is booked in with the rest of the shoot day and priced up front. We check the location on the recce first (airports, city centres and some sites have rules about flying), and the aerials go into the same edit as everything else.

One crew, one edit
You won’t be managing two suppliers. The pilot works to our shot list and our schedule, and the footage goes straight into the same edit as everything else, graded to match.
Recent films with aerials include Ringtons, People’s Powerhouse, Concordia Vocal Project, Newcastle School for Boys and UNICEF’s Child Friendly City in Newcastle.
Not sure a drone’s worth it for your film? Ask us. Sometimes a high camera position or a long lens does the same job for less, and we’ll say so.
