END-TO-END VIDEO PRODUCTION
Maybe you’ve already got a great idea, or maybe you just don’t know where to start… Perhaps you’ve got a campaign to get off the ground, a product to launch, a business to promote or an event to sell? From Creative Planning, to providing a fully-equipped, skilled & experienced film crew, through to putting it all together into a nice polished video, Craig & his team have your back from start to finish. We’ll even show you how to best get your shiny new video in front of your target audience.
The latest drone technology can provide a truly fresh & unique perspective to your project.
Craig is a fully trained & insured drone operator with an Operational Authorisation from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) to carry out higher-risk operations throughout the UK & the EU in the new ‘Specific Category’ for aerial filming, photography & surveying. This means that we’re able to do more, get closer to the action & access areas that other drone pilots operating in the ‘Open Category’ simply cannot.
Please note, drones cannot fly in wet or windy conditions & it may not be possible to fly in specific locations or at certain times due to legal restrictions or military/civilian airspace activity. Pre-deployment Operational Planning Surveys, airspace checks, risk assessments & land owner permissions are all legally required prior to conducting any flight.
