Aerial drone filming
Aerial drones provide the ability to capture stunning aerial shots that were previously very expensive and difficult to achieve, this has opened up a wide range of create possibilities for video producers and means that our team can capture breathtaking landscapes, cityscapes and dramatic shots of properties that really showcase them in their surroundings. Used a lot in commercial property video, drones are also great for agriculture, mining, industrial and any large scale projects that require a unique perspective. Drones bring a cinematic element of drama to video content with key benefits that include:
Aerial Perspectives: Drones have the ability to capture stunning aerial shots that were previously expensive and difficult to achieve using traditional methods like helicopters or cranes. This opens up a wide range of creative possibilities and allows us to visually bring scale and scope to a video.
Cost-Effective: Aerial drone filming is much more cost-effective than hiring a helicopter or crane, which requires specialized equipment and skilled operators. Drones are relatively affordable and can be operated by a single pilot or a small crew, reducing production costs. There are limitations to the height drones can fly to, in Australia it’s 120m above ground level.
Versatility: Drones can access locations and angles that are otherwise challenging or impossible to reach. They can also fly at different altitudes and speeds, allowing for a wide range of shooting styles and can smoothly transition between sweeping, wide-angle shots and close-ups, adding depth and dimension to the final video.
Smooth and Stable Footage: The drones used by YourFilm aerial film crew are equipped with advanced stabilisation technology, such as gimbals, which helps ensure smooth, steady footage even in adverse weather conditions. This stability contributes to the overall quality of the video, making it more visually appealing.
Enhanced Storytelling: Aerial shots can be used strategically to enhance the narrative of a video. They can reveal hidden details, create suspense, or offer a sense of scale and grandeur, bringing an emotional element to the production.
Commercial aerial drone filming is a valuable addition to video production offering unique perspectives, cost-efficiency, versatility and creative opportunities. Whether it's filming over rough terrain, following moving subjects, or getting close to structures, drones can adapt to various shooting scenarios, making them versatile video production tool.

Dynamic Movement: FPV drones are much smaller that traditional commercial aerial drones and are designed for agility and precision, allowing for fast and dynamic maneuvers. They can perform acrobatic moves, such as flips, rolls, and dives, which can add a thrilling and cinematic quality to the footage.
Close-Up Shots: FPV drones are capable of getting close to subjects, objects, or obstacles, providing a unique and intimate perspective that is often difficult to achieve with other types of drones or camera equipment. This closeness can create intense and dramatic shots.
Creative Freedom: Given the flexibility and agility of FPV drones, operators have the ability to creatively explore environments and capture shots that are not possible with traditional drones or camera setups. This creative freedom enables our video production team to experiment with different angles and styles, adding a distinctive flair to our productions.
Sports and Action Filming: FPV drone filming is particularly well-suited for capturing sports and action sequences as they can follow athletes or vehicles closely, capturing all the thrilling action close up and at a fast pace.
