Services / Aerial Filming
Aerial filming
Chase scenes, reveals, orbits and one-take fly-throughs — shot on cinema cameras, flown by filmmakers. Starting at $4,000
What aerial filming entails
Our filming crew operates like a miniature film unit: a pilot, a camera operator and a director’s monitor on the ground. We fly heavy-lift cinema drones carrying 6K cameras on 3-axis gimbals, plus nimble FPV quads for interiors, chases and transitions no crane could attempt.
Every shoot is storyboarded with you first. We rehearse complex moves, coordinate with your ground cameras, and deliver footage in your edit’s codec — ProRes, DNx or H.265 — with a broadcast-safe color grade.

Filming questions, answered
How much raw footage do we get?
A full shoot day typically yields 60–90 minutes of selects plus all usable B-roll. Everything is logged and labeled by setup so your editor can find shots fast.
Can you match our ground cameras?
Yes. Tell us your camera and picture profile and we shoot to match — same frame rate, shutter angle and color science, verified with a test chart on the day.
What about permits and insurance?
Handled. We carry $2M liability cover, file LAANC and local film permits, and add your production as additionally insured at no charge.
