Top Industries Embracing the Power of Drone Videos

In recent years, the use of drones has revolutionised the way businesses capture aerial footage, providing stunning visuals and valuable insights across various industries. From construction and real estate to agriculture and tourism, drone videos have become an indispensable tool for enhancing operations, marketing efforts, and decision-making processes. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the top industries benefiting from drone videos and the myriad ways in which this technology is transforming their practices. Construction and Real Estate: In the construction and real estate industries, drone videos are being used to provide unique perspectives of properties, construction sites, and infrastructure projects. Real estate agents leverage drone footage to showcase properties from breathtaking aerial views, giving potential buyers a comprehensive understanding of the property’s layout, surroundings, and features. Similarly, construction companies use drone videos for site surveys, progress monitoring, and safety inspections, enabling them to optimise project management and enhance communication with stakeholders. Agriculture: Agriculture is another industry that has embraced the use of drone videos to revolutionise farming practices. Farmers utilise drones equipped with multispectral cameras to collect high-resolution aerial imagery of their fields, enabling them to monitor crop health, detect pests and diseases, and optimise irrigation and fertilisation strategies. By analysing the data captured by drones, farmers can make data-driven decisions that increase crop yields, reduce input costs, and promote sustainable farming practices. Film and Media Production: In the film and media production industry, drones have opened up new possibilities for capturing cinematic aerial footage that was previously inaccessible or prohibitively expensive. Filmmakers use drones equipped with high-quality cameras to capture sweeping aerial shots, dynamic tracking shots, and immersive panoramic views, adding visual flair and storytelling depth to their productions. Whether filming documentaries, commercials, or feature films, drones offer filmmakers unparalleled creative freedom and flexibility. Environmental Monitoring: Environmental monitoring is another area where drone videos are making a significant impact. Environmental scientists and conservationists use drones to conduct aerial surveys of ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and natural resources, providing valuable data for conservation efforts, biodiversity assessments, and habitat management. By monitoring environmental changes from above, researchers can track deforestation, monitor wildlife populations, and assess the impact of human activities on fragile ecosystems. Tourism and Hospitality: The tourism and hospitality industry is harnessing the power of drone videos to showcase destinations, attractions, and experiences to potential visitors. Tourism boards, travel agencies, and hospitality businesses use drone footage to create stunning promotional videos that highlight the beauty and allure of tourist destinations, landmarks, and accommodations. By offering captivating aerial views of scenic landscapes, historic sites, and luxury resorts, drone videos inspire wanderlust and drive tourism revenues. Infrastructure Inspection: Infrastructure inspection is a critical application of drone technology in industries such as utilities, transportation, and energy. Engineers and inspectors use drones to perform visual inspections of bridges, roads, pipelines, and power lines, identifying structural defects, corrosion, and other potential hazards. By conducting inspections from the air, drones enable faster, safer, and more cost-effective assessments, reducing downtime, minimising risks, and ensuring the integrity and reliability of critical infrastructure assets. Emergency Response and Disaster Management: In emergency response and disaster management scenarios, drones play a vital role in providing situational awareness, assessing damage, and coordinating rescue and relief efforts. First responders use drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras and other sensors to locate missing persons, assess the extent of natural disasters, and identify hazards such as fires, floods, and landslides. By providing real-time aerial intelligence, drones enable faster decision-making and more effective emergency response operations. In conclusion, drone videos are transforming industries across the board, offering unparalleled capabilities for capturing aerial footage, collecting data, and enhancing operations in diverse sectors. From construction to agriculture, their versatility drives innovation and efficiency. For businesses seeking impactful aerial footage, partnering with Shot Blast Media ensures expertly crafted videos tailored to specific needs.

An Interview with a Professional Drone Pilot

Discover the world of drone videography with Byron , our drone pilot and camera operator at Shot Blast Media. In this exclusive interview, Byron shares insights into drone technology evolution, memorable flight experiences, and the meticulous planning behind each shoot. From tackling challenges to prioritising safety, Byron offers a glimpse into capturing breathtaking aerial footage. Whether you’re an aspiring drone pilot or curious about aerial magic, join us as we soar into cinematic exploration with Byron. How did you get started as a drone pilot? I wanted to be a drone pilot after watching lots of films with drone videography in them! I researched how I could go about doing this, bought a drone, got my licence and now I’m a drone pilot! How has drone technology evolved since you started flying? I don’t think drone technology has evolved hugely since I started flying, however, I have developed more understanding of droning over the years. When I first started flying, I didn’t realise there were FPV drones (first person drones), that there were mini drones, that there were drones with 6 propellers on and loads more! I use a Mavic 2 Pro, so it’s a little bit more junior compared to the big drones you see on TV. For football matches they use a drone operator and camera operator, so I’ve developed my understanding of drones by witnessing this! What certifications or licences do you hold as a drone pilot? With drone flying, I hold a basic operator and flyer ID for the UK. This is open to anyone, and you can easily do it online. It’s very cheap, I think it’s about £11, and that’s the main licence you need in order to fly a drone. I also now hold an Irish licence, as in Ireland, you need a different flyer ID to the UK, which is very important information to know. I also hold an A2 COC certificate which means I can fly commercially and I can get restrictions lifted easily. It’s simple to give your certificate to whoever needs to see it so that they can see you have completed all your exams. It also means they will be a lot more flexible with you if you have this certificate, as well as the flyer ID. What is your most memorable drone flight experience? My most memorable drone flight experience is definitely a shoot I did in Wales recently, with our client ENGIE. We shot in a powerstation in Dinorwig from the outside. We had to go to all different sides of the mountain to film, and we had to change the schedule around a little bit due to the forecast rain the next day. This meant we had to go to Ffestiniog, which is about 45 minutes away, as we had to do all the drone work in one day due to the bad weather. Everything that day took a good 10 hours, including climbing up mountains and filming all the drone shots, but it was very enjoyable and I think the final work is beautiful. How do you approach planning a drone shoot for a new project? Well, planning is very important, because if something does go wrong with droning, it’s always good to refer back to the paperwork you originally did. I completed my drone course with UAVHUB, and they supplied a basic planning guide that is very simple to use. This planning guide has all your risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) in it so you’re ready to go! I have adjusted the planning guide quite a lot, and I’d be happy to send a link to anyone if you’re interested to see it, so feel free to get in touch. It basically has all the operation procedures on there, onsite surveys, presite surveys, and anything else you could possibly need for a drone flight. You just fill that out before the drone flying takes place, which takes about 20 minutes, print out the document and then you’re ready to fly! How do you handle unexpected challenges or obstacles during a shoot? There’s always a new challenge, but I will highlight one that happened to me recently. I went to Ireland to shoot a film for a company and I didn’t realise you needed a separate flyer ID to fly in Northern Ireland. So, my challenge at the airport was to quickly complete a flyer ID test for Ireland, which took a while to get approved. I had to get air traffic control approval as well during a short time frame as we were filming close to a flight path. It was a very complicated shoot. I would always look into everything you need to fly at least a couple of weeks beforehand. For me, it was challenging as this shoot came up very quickly, so it was hard to sort out in a short timeframe. Just remember, air traffic control is always there to help you, and that was the first time I reached out to them, but it all worked out well for us, fortunately. What safety measures do you prioritise during a drone flight? People are always prioritised. You can always get a new drone, a new building, a new whatever. Yes, it would be incredibly annoying, difficult and expensive, however people are the only thing you cannot replace. You can’t replace fingers! So, I always try to prioritise the safety of everyone on site. I always tell everyone around me that I’m flying a drone, and if anything was to go wrong, I would shout out ‘drone going down!’ Make sure you keep everyone safe, that they are at a comfortable distance away from the drone, and that they are happy with what is being filmed. How do you see the role of drones in videography evolving in the coming years? Drones are already doing a pretty big job in the film industry. Everytime I see them on TV, I always admire the drone work! You can get good quality cameras, like we use at Shot Blast Media, but a lot of people now can just film anything they want on their phone. However, not everyone can send a drone up to get a wonderful shot! It’s going to be one of those things in the future that stands out a lot more than your average phone/camera shot. What advice would you give to someone aspiring to become a professional drone pilot? Do it! That’s my main advice! Following on from this, I would always try to start off with a small drone. DGI mini’s are usually quite good for that, and they’re cheap too. It’s also better to start off with a small, light drone as using heavy drones means that you have to get even more licences and certifications. I’d always advise that you get the right help. Like I mentioned earlier, I use UAVHUB for all of my licences, and it’s a very simple way of doing it. Lastly, make sure you enjoy it! Take the drone out, shoot lots of fun stuff with it and always take lots of batteries as they run out very quickly!

How To Use Drones To Create The Most Amazing Aerial Photographs

Aerial photography is all the rage these days and more and more businesses are using it for various marketing purposes. It’s no wonder, given how we’re always appreciative and jealous of that “birds-eye” view. The entire story revolves around flying drones and navigating the skies while taking pictures or shooting videos! 

Here at Studio52, we’ve created dozens of amazing Aerial Videos and Photographs, and know ins and outs of taking perfect aerial shoots! Today, we’re here to help you learn what goes into creating the most amazing aerial photos using drones. 

Getting Started

These days, drone companies are making it sound “all too easy”! It’s all just a matter of taking the drone out of the box and starting flying, right? 

Sure, but there’s a lot more going into aerial photography than meets the eye. First of all, if you’re a complete beginner, you should look to learn how to fly first, and do so in a limited space where you can be sure that you can do no damage if something goes wrong! Start flying your drone in an open space without too many distractions or obstacles, and practice getting around in the limited space and awareness of the surroundings from where you operate the machine. 

And it’s not only just that!

Familiarize Yourself With The Rules

Secondly, we have the legality to sort out, and you should be familiar with the official rules and regulations that stand in the air and the ground where you operate your drone. Most countries have strict laws one should follow and most of them are concerning things like line of sight, maximum height, flying over private grounds and people, respect for privacy, etc. 

Make sure that you’re familiar with any specific regulations that apply in your area so as not to get in trouble with the law! 

Tech Is Amazing…

And you really should be in touch with the recent trends. Inexperienced flyers may end up with equipment that’s two years old and still outdated! Technology is revolutionizing how we do areal photography each and every day. You can monitor your drones over an app on your phone, there are many camera controls you need to master, turning on mid-flight stability mode, etc.

Imagine if you have to go through mastering all of these for your business! But let’s say that you have, so here are some of our top choice tips and tricks for amazing areal photography.

Tips And Tricks

One thing we all appreciate is the amazing landscape we get to see from above!  And drones will definitely allow you to go places even helicopters can’t. However, if you plan on taking some footage, there are some practical tips you need to hear! 

Focal Point – A good focal point is critical for the story you want to get out of your aerial footage. The focal point will add magic effects to your end product. This doesn’t have to be anything huge or spectacular, and usually, a small body of water, a grove, or a tower will do!

Camera – Without a good quality camera, we don’t have to even talk about great aerial photography! Without the right equipment, you won’t be able to shoot any proper footage. You can always save some money on a drone (although high-quality drones are quite expensive) but you should never save on proper video equipment. 

Mind The Weather – Another important factor of an awesome aerial photoshoot is the weather. If you’re a professional like us, you need to accommodate to this and often you haven’t the option but to use the best equipment available. But if you’re doing this for your own business or pleasure, some heavy weather planning should be done in order to get the best areal photographs.

Use The Right Tools! – Drone safety is a big issue and you want to consider keeping your drone safe from harm when doing aerial photos. Propeller balancer and other technologies to stabilise your drone mid-flight are essential for a quality flying image — without these, your drone is more susceptible to tearing at a faster rate.

Conclusion

A lot more goes into quality drone photography than meets the eye. If you’re doing this out of a hobby or to start a business one day, we definitely wish you luck developing your skill. 

However, if you’re looking to get results right away for business or marketing purposes, then a lot can be saved by simply Hiring Aerial Photography Service like Studio52 to help you out and create the most amazing areal photographs and promotional videos!
