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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
