The city of London makes for one of the most exciting filming destinations in the world. The skyline punctuated with iconic sights – from the clang of Big Ben to the silhouette of The Shard. During the daylight hours you can follow the curve of the River Thames, see the crowds outside Buckingham Palace and capture the many layers of history that make London one of the major capitals in the world. At night, the city sparkles like a sea of lights. London truly is one of the most majestic cities to shoot; both on the ground and in the air.
While London is our backyard playground, our aerial services go beyond the borders of the city. From provincial towns to the patchwork greens and golds of the English countryside and the salt whipped wonder of the coastline – whatever landscapes you need to capture, we can take you there.
Why Film Using A Helicopter?
Modern technology is ever evolving, and todays solution can quickly become yesterdays news. Even in the specialised world of aerial footage, some TV and filming crews are turning towards the buzz of the drone. Drones do make for a fabulous aerial platform – they are unobtrusive, easy to handle and highly cost effective. Yet, for serious filmmakers, documentarians and those who are paving the way for high class captured footage – the traditional methods of helicopter service can’t be beaten.
Wider Range
One of the key factors in favor of choosing helicopters for your aerial footage is the fact that they boast a much longer range than drones. Drones can travel for only a matter of minutes before needing to be returned safely for battery charging. A helicopter can keep on going, gifting you the time and freedom to explore and capture that perfect shot.
Weight Load
Drones are fast and light and great for getting into the worlds nooks and crannies that helicopters simply cannot reach. But for those projects where you need heavy, high-class equipment to take your footage to another level, you can only rely on the power and the prowess of a helicopter to get you and your equipment there.
High Altitudes
There are some filming events when you need to go higher to capture a larger panorama. Drones simply cannot meet the same altitudes as a helicopter. Whether its trying to get a complete cityscape or filming major events like the royal wedding, a grand scale sporting competition, or a large-scale festival – getting higher allows you to capture more without any hindrance.
Combined Forces
Capturing the best aerial footage is all about the triage factor; the equipment, the crew and the creative vision. We believe that a combination of helicopter and drone platforms can crack open the possibilities of your project and ensure that every option has been exhausted to help you get the best shots.
Along with taking a multifaceted approach to filming equipment its essential to choose a crew that actively contribute to securing incredible footage. This includes expert pilots to get you there safely and efficiently, a DOP expert with the talent to point and shoot from every angle, and gyro stabilized rigs to keep the style fluid and effortless.
Powerful collaborations with aviation companies can pave the way for the future of filmmaking. Don’t let your creativity be tethered to the ground, together we can break the boundaries of beautiful sky-led cinematography.
