A Melbourne video producer and photographer making the aerial video and stills a business publishes on its website, YouTube, LinkedIn, social and ads. Flown to a shot list and cut in house. Jordy Scott Media is a CASA licensed drone operator based in Belgrave, flying across Melbourne and Victoria, with 250 five star Google reviews.
Every flight is planned as a set of shots that serves the brief, whether that is a site in context, a finished build, a brand film opener or a progress record. Photography and video are flown on the same day by the same operator, so the stills and the footage match. Each job starts with the airspace and the site, and picks the lightest aircraft that gets the frame.
Aerial sequences that show a site, a build or a brand at its scale, cut into the website film, the YouTube edit and the social versions. Every flight is built from the story before the battery goes in, usually three or four aerial shots in a ninety second brand film used as punctuation, with nine by sixteen versions framed on the day. Delivered at 25 or 50fps PAL, graded to sit inside your existing footage.
Aerial stills framed for the job they do: the listing hero, the tender board, the website banner and the LinkedIn header. Stills are shot in HDR brackets and graded to hold the roofline and the shadow beneath it, so one file works as a tender exhibit, a web hero and a print panel. Edited stills land in five to seven business days, faster for active listings.
Six films, flown on location and in Melbourne. Select a tile to play it in the page.
Eight frames from city skylines, vineyards and coast. Select a frame to open it full size.
Graded aerial photos and video cut to your brief, in full resolution and web sizes. Every flight is made under a commercial Remote Pilot Licence, not recreational rules, so ask any operator to show theirs.
Yes. The aerial stills and the video come off the same flights, flown by the same pilot on one visit, so you book one person and one day instead of two crews.
Launching from private land needs the landowner's permission, and council land can need a permit. Flying near an airport, within 30 metres of people or over a populous area needs an approval, so allow a fortnight.
Yes. Tell me the frame rate and colour profile your footage uses and I will match it on the day. Delivered at 25 or 50fps PAL, graded to sit inside your edit, with raw files on request.
Aerial footage is graded and delivered with the edit, usually two to four weeks after the shoot day. Stills from the same visit follow a standard five to seven business days.
You get a commercial licence for your own marketing across every platform, paid ads included, with no media buyout. I keep copyright and the right to show the work in my portfolio.
Revisions on the delivered set are part of the job, not an extra. Agree the shot list and framing before the flight, so most changes are small and settled on the day.
Sometimes, with planning, as the CBD sits under controlled airspace and each shot is assessed on its own. Rain and sustained wind above about 20 knots stop a flight, so the day moves.
Usually three or four in a ninety second brand film, used as punctuation rather than the whole piece. Nine by sixteen versions are framed on the day when you ask for them at booking, so the reel and the film come off the same flight.
Large. Stills are shot in HDR brackets on the full sensor and graded to hold both the roofline and the shadow beneath it, so one file works as a tender exhibit, a website hero and a print panel without a reshoot.
For a single site, an hour to ninety minutes on the ground covers the flying, setup, checks and battery changes. Twilight is different and is booked as its own window. Edited stills land in five to seven business days, with same day or 24 hour delivery available for active listings.
Across Melbourne, including the eastern suburbs, the Dandenong Ranges, the Yarra Valley, Mernda, the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong as standard. Regional Victoria and interstate are quoted with travel.
Flights are weather dependent. Wind, rain and low cloud are checked the day before, and if conditions will not hold the flight moves to the next suitable window, with that plan agreed at booking.
Yes. Footage is captured with room to reframe, so the same flight gives 16:9 for the website and 9:16 cuts for reels and stories.
Send the address, the brief and the date you have in mind through the contact page. I check the airspace first, then come back with a fixed quote.
Send the site address, the project stage and what the footage must prove. I will check the airspace and come back with a date.
