From the Ground
on Up.
Creating beautiful visual stories.
I am qualified to deliver with MY PFCO!

In order to carry out commercial drone work, a Permissions for Commercial Operations (PfCO) is required from the Civil Aviation Authority. It against the law to carry out aerial projects without it.

I have just successfully renewed my PfCO for a 6th year. This means I am up to speed with the latest drone rules and regulations. I carry out risk and method assessments before any flight and will not launch my drones if I feel it is unsafe to do so. The safety of my work crew and the general public is of paramount importance.

I do more than drones…
Aerial footage is usually used in tandem with ground footage. Which is why I offer more than just a drone service.

HOW I WORK WITH YOU

Before I start any drone project a thorough risk and method statement is produced to ensure that I can fly where I need to fly safely, securely and legally.

Once safe to fly, I work closely with my clients to create a storyboard of the footage required. I then set some dates for the work – always weather permitting as I can’t fly in strong winds and rain!

Post production. If required, I will then start work on the edit. Usually accompanied with music. Followed by 2/3 rounds of edits until I have something special for you. I then output the final video in various formats and lengths for different uses.
