TYPE: Property Development Showcase
SECTOR: Independent Property Development
LOCATION: Rangeworthy, South Gloucestershire
PURPOSE : Capture cinematic aerial video clips, inside & outside the properties, to enable the creation of a marketing video promoting the properties and the site itself, as well as capture aerial photos, edited, to be used across various marketing and social media platforms.
HOW IT WAS DONE:
We planned the shoot meticulously—mapping must-have, nice-to-have, and ideal shots, selecting the right aircraft, balancing quality vs. safety. A sunny day was essential to capture sunrise, day, and sunset footage in one location.
Arriving early and staying late to get those dramatic golden/blue-hour shots. Indoors, we staged one property for distraction-free filming with perfect lighting. Then moved outside for aerial shots of the properties and broader site.
With all footage in hand, we create a story—dawn to dusk—that shows viewers what it’s like to already live in their forever home. Every image was edited to print and online standards.
TYPE: Broadcast Production
SECTOR: Film Industry – Hartswood Films / Amazon MGM Studios
LOCATION: Dartmoor, Yelverton, UK
PURPOSE : Capture specific cinematic aerial video, as well as B-roll, as envisioned by the director of photography (DOP) for it to be used in an edit in a series to be shown on Amazon Prime.
HOW IT WAS DONE:
Working on a live film set meant managing moving parts, variables, and multiple departments. We had to execute the DOP’s vision precisely while drawing on experience to advise on what was achievable. Everything needed to sync: the aircraft, talent, and crew all working in perfect coordination.
We nailed it in one shot. The pressure was intense, but the satisfaction of pulling it off was immense.

TYPE: Broadcast Production
SECTOR: Film Industry – BBC ONE, NETFLIX
LOCATION: Hartcliffe, Bristol, UK
PURPOSE : Capture a specific cinematic aerial scene which was an establishing shot and introduction to the series.
HOW IT WAS DONE:
This project involved operating on a live film set with many moving parts, such as coordinating with the talent, timming elements, weather, etc, while collaborating remotely with the Director of Photography (DOP) throughout the shoot. With the roads fully closed for production, it allowed us to focus entirely on delivering the required aerial sequences safely and precisely.
Several takes and approaches were tested during the day as the scene was continually refined to achieve the desired visual result. As with any high-end production environment, all footage and shot execution ultimately required approval from the DOP before wrap.
