What you'll need to get ready for a Drone Photography session

To get the most out of our project, consider the following 5 tips.  If you need help defining your project we can help.

 

  1. Define Your Vision and Shot List
  • Identify key features or subjects to highlight.
  • Specify desired angles or perspectives (e.g., top-down, orbit).
  • List must-have and nice-to-have shots.
  • Share any reference images or videos.
  1. Secure Permissions and Notify Parties
  • Confirm you have access rights for the location.
  • If near airports or restricted areas, inform us early so we can check for flight restrictions and obtain waivers if needed.
  • Notify anyone who may be present or affected by the drone flight.
  1. Prepare the Location
  • Remove unwanted items or vehicles from the scene.
  • Tidy up the area (mow lawns, clear debris) as needed.
  • Inform us of any hazards (power lines, trees, animals).
  • Ensure people to be filmed are ready.
  1. Plan for Timing and Weather
  • Discuss the best time of day for lighting.
  • Be flexible—drone flights depend on weather. Have a backup date if needed.
  1. Designate a Point of Contact
  • Assign one main contact for the shoot day.
  • Be available for feedback or approvals or communicate your vision clearly if you can’t be present.
