In a very short period of time, drone technology is changing the way movie makers operate, and it is literally changing how Hollywood, the Mecca of movie-making, produces films for public consumption. Perhaps more than any other technological development of the past decade or two, the aerial photography provided by drone technology is having a massive impact on the way movies are made, on how much they cost to produce, and about who can afford to make high-quality movies these days.
Film & Media Industry
NEW MOVIE-MAKING CAPABILITIES
Drones can go places that no other devices can, and in ways that even the most sophisticated photography equipment simply can’t match. From 200 feet up in the air, a rock-solid steady shot can be filmed by a drone, which is something that simply couldn’t be done until very recently. The only thing even close to that would have been a helicopter shot, and helicopters are so big and bulky that they simply can’t get into all the places that drones can, nor can they fly as low.
Drones can also be programmed to film high-speed chases, following the subjects through busy streets, mountainous highways, or any other setting which might be difficult using another approach. The kind of fluid, gliding sequences that drones can film, allow filmmakers to really expand the creative boundaries of the profession, creating scenes that until now could only be imagined.
DRASTIC SAVINGS ON PRODUCTION BUDGETS
Instead of having to rent out expensive cranes or pay for high-cost helicopter rentals, a production crew can now use a relatively low-cost drone to capture a higher-quality shot on film and save a ton of money in the process. With no drop off in high definition quality, the cost for renting a very capable drone might only be 25% of the cost of renting other more expensive equipment, and the resulting film would not be as good.
Since the FAA approval for use of commercial drones in movie and television productions, many scenes can now be filmed domestically, rather than having to whisk an entire production crew to another country which allows drone usage. In another big savings bonanza, the time needed to set up a shot with drones is considerably less than it would be with any other type of equipment, which is a godsend to independent filmmakers with limited resources.
Scenes that used to require 5 to 10 cameras and an entire filming crew, can now be captured with less than 30 minutes of setup time, and only three crew members to pull it off.
UBIQUITOUS UTILIZATION
As with any new technology, it has taken a little while for drone usage to catch on, but now that it has, it’s seemingly everywhere, both in television and in movie scenes. Because the potential applications for drone videography is virtually limitless, more and more studios are becoming aware of the benefits, and are incorporating them as part of the production process.
The companies which have been formed already to provide high-quality drones to movie and television crews have seen so much demand, that it has been difficult to supply the needed equipment to everyone who requests it. On top of that, these same companies have had their phones ringing off the hooks with people who recognize the coming boom in drone usage, and want to come work for the drone companies.
How we work
1. Share your project details
Get in touch with us discuss your project details and then share your detailed and well documented project with us.
2. Table talk
Team analyses the project and if there is any clarification required or if there is any scope of improvement, we plan for a table talk. It not only raises the client trust but also helps us understand the client’s need in a better way.
3. Preparation of BOM
Any project requires a distinct set of skills and tools, same goes with the drone industry. Based on the project need team prepares the BOM.
4. Cost estimation of the project
According to the project and BOM list the cost of the project is estimated and shared with the client and.
5.Project agreement
After mutual agreement on the project cost and payment terms and conditions project agreement is signed and team get deployed to the project.
6. Project Delivery & Closure
After the successful completion of the project, internal and external evaluation of the quality is done. Post satisfactory quality test project is delivered to client after full and final payment is received from the client and project is closed.
