Check out some of our recent work...



Trapstar Promo - Air-to Air Aerial Cinematography

 

Operating under Aviation Filming Ltd, we were asked to provide the air-to-air shots for this commercial. 99% of this work is planning, paperwork and people skills with a fraction of the time spent actually flying. One of many projects we have used our very own DJI Inspire 3 on, an aircraft which sets a new benchmark for aerial camera work.

Defrag Launches www.fpvtours.co.uk - First Person Drone Tours/FPV Drone Services


What is an FPV Tour?


FPV stands for ‘First Person View’, in our case from the perspective of an unmanned aircraft, more commonly known as a drone. The tour refers to a video of a location, usually filmed as an all-in-one shot and showcasing a location in its entirety. At fpvtours.co.uk, we shoot tours at a variety of locations, including venues, hotels, events, theatres, places of natural beauty, real estate, film & TV shoots, music videos, tracking cars/boats/aircraft as well as other privately owned locations.

Ganapath (Feature Film) - Drone Cinematography


We provided drone cinematography with use of the DJI Inspire 2 with X7 camera and lens kit for this feature film production from Pooja Studios, which stars Tiger Shroff. 


Some of this shoot involved filming inside a studio with the aircraft and coordinating carefully to fly within just 1 meter of Tiger, however it was certainly not our first time flying indoors, or close to human subjects. Various heath and safety precautions were taken to ensure the safety of cast and crew as the use of an UAS in such conditions could result in a fatality if not conducted properly. We were also able to gain a Non-Standard Flight permission for flying next to London City Airport at the Millennium Mills site. The operation took place in close proximity to commercial flights on the approach to the airport.


Ganapath is due for release in December, 2022.

We created this video for the developers of Bedfont Lakes and the surrounding business parks and housing estates. Including gimbal/camera operating, drone cinematography & Ident animation.


Due to the proximity of Heathrow Airport, we needed to acquire a Non-Standard Flight permission to carry out the UAS work. It was a pleasure to work with airport operations at Heathrow and reassuring to know that they have a very fast response time when checking drones that take off in close proximity to the airport.

Ocean Quest Global continue to work on propagating further coral nursery's and the Thai National Park along with Reef Guardian Thailand are carrying out essential conservation work to restore and then preserve the natural beauty of Maya & Koh Phi Leh.


Yet even with the bay closed we still find debris from the tourism industry washing in (a plastic bottle can be seen floating in one of the shots in this video). As a tourist in Thailand you can do your part to keep this country clean by simply by throwing your trash in a bin. Footage captured March 2019.
