Aerial Photography & Video · Melbourne

Drone photography and video,
Melbourne.

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.

The approach

Planned as shots, not altitude for its own sake.

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.

Questions

The things people ask first.

What do we get, and are you licensed to fly it?

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.

Can you shoot the stills and the video on the same day?

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.

Who gives permission for the launch, and do you need an approval?

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.

Can the aerial footage cut into video we already have?

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.

How long until we see the footage?

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.

Who owns the footage and the photos?

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.

What if we are not happy with the footage?

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.

Can you fly in the Melbourne CBD, and what stops a flight?

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.

How do I book?

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.
