Aerial Photography and Videography using drones.
What is aerial Photography?
Aerial Photography is the bird’s eye view of an event using a drone. Drones produce high-resolution images just like any DSLR or mirrorless cameras will do. Drones capture the ceremony or the event from several feet in the air just like a plane or a helicopter. As opposed to airplanes and helicopters drones are operated by an experienced pilot on the ground with a live view of the events happening through the controller.
What is Drone Videography?
Drone videography is the full video coverage from the top just like aerial photography, but this time this will be live footage or footage in motion. The quality of drone videography is not compromised, it’s still as good as the normal cameras sometimes even better. It gives you an overview of the area in its entirety and the beauty of the surroundings. Drone pilots are creatives with experience in flying the drones and high experience of event videography, which put the pilot’s creativity to a test where they showcase their experience in making sure the footage is extremely beautiful.
STILL IMAGES
Still images of the arrival of guests, bride, and groom walking down the aisle and the ceremony or even the photoshoot can be done in the form of Ariel photography. Drones do not replace event or wedding photographers or the other way round. They can be used as an addition to enhance the style and also to make your guests feel like they are in a Hollywood production. Please pay attention to area restrictions, weather, and high trees as these can jeopardize the usage of the drones. Therefore, the use of drones for Ariel photography is governed by the area where you are holding your ceremony. During high winds using the drone might not be recommended for safety purposes.
VIDEO FOOTAGE
The best time for drone videography is similar to one of aerial photography, it includes the arrival of guests, the bride walking down the aisle preferably if it’s a garden wedding. During the reception, drones can be used here and there depending on the location. However, Drone videography is amazingly beautiful during the ceremony. As the drone can track the bride and can capture the events as they happen while doing the wraparounds, panning, and zoom shots. Flying of the drone during the ceremony should be at a higher altitude to reduce the interference of the proceedings due to the noise produced by the drone. Please pay close attention to the rules and regulations on the use of drones in your area, and that drones might be prohibited in areas that are in close proximity to the airports.
What are the cost of drone videography and Ariel photography?
The cost of drone videography and aerial photography is highlighted in the tables below. However, it also depends on the duration you want the drone coverage for. When hiring the drone, you will also be hiring a pilot just like traditional wedding photography or videography, this is because drones are really sensitive devices that need to be operated by a highly experienced individual and the crashing risk is reduced if we bring our pilot. This is to ensure that you get the best quality and value for money. To make sure you get the best service you deserve, we have also included the drone coverage with some of our packages
Is Post-production required?
Yes! Post-production is required for all services we provide. However, if you are using a different company for video and photography coverage then we have no problem giving you the raw drone footage for them to edit it for you as it is better incorporated with the main footage. Please note that we will need to be credited at the end of the coverage this is in line with the copyright act 98 of 1978 amended in 2002.
Post-production includes editing of the video and photos, the creation of titles, credits, and sound adjustment and finally the chosen output which can be either DVD or publishing in websites and social media platforms.
