Another project with the amazing team over at know film! For this project we utilized both traditional drones and FPV drones.
Indoor drone filming allows filmmakers to explore unique perspectives and angles that would be challenging or impossible to achieve with traditional camera setups. Drones can effortlessly weave through tight spaces creating dynamic shots in the process. Setting up and tearing down elaborate equipment can be time-consuming, especially when shooting in confined spaces. Drones can be deployed quickly, saving valuable time during production. Their ability to capture multiple angles in a single take reduces the need for extensive reshooting, streamlining the filmmaking process and eliminating the need for large camera jibs and cranes.
FPV
FPV drone footage has the ability to fly complex and intricate flight patterns. This creative freedom enables filmmakers to experiment with unconventional angles and narratives. Check out this one-take drone shot we created for Maxi Mover, this footage was then added in snippets to the main video.

We’ve been working with Branston potatoes alongside B-Hive Productions and the University of Lincoln capturing the exciting trials they are working on with their Net-Zero project.
This is the first in a series of videos that we have produced documenting the progress at their Net-Zero trail plot at David Armstong Farms Ltd. Check the video out below!
In this video Technical Field Manager, Andy Blair chats with David Armstrong and Dr Iain Gould from the University of Lincoln as pre-planting soil testing takes place at the Bardney trials site.
We will be capturing progress throughout the year at the trial site documenting all the potential ways to reduce carbon in growing, transporting and storing potatoes.

The DJI Mavic 3 Pro is a game-changer in the world of aerial photography and videography, offering a range of camera options to suit diverse creative needs from one drone. In this blog post, we will explore and compare the key features of the three cameras available for the Mavic 3 Pro: the Hasselblad camera, the Medium Tele camera, and the Tele camera. By understanding the capabilities of each camera, you can see how this drone can benefit your production needs.
The Hasselblad camera, equipped with a 4/3 CMOS sensor, is the flagship camera option for the Mavic 3 Pro. With a 24mm equivalent focal length and a variable aperture of f/2.8 to f/11, it offers versatility in different lighting conditions. The 20 MP resolution ensures detailed stills and impressive 5.1k 10-bit D-log video recordings. With a native dynamic range of up to 12.8 stops, this camera delivers unforgettable image details.
The Medium Tele camera features a 1/1.3" CMOS sensor and offers a 70mm equivalent focal length. With a fixed aperture of f/2.8 and a resolution of 48 MP for photos and 4k 10-bit D-Log M videos, it brings depth and focus compression to highlight subjects and create visually striking compositions. The 3x optical zoom enhances creative possibilities by being able to capture distant subjects with precision.
The Tele camera, equipped with a 1/2" CMOS sensor, is designed for long-range capture. With a 166mm equivalent focal length, a fixed aperture of f/3.4, and a resolution of 12 MP, this camera option delivers high-quality 4K/60fps videos and detailed photos. The 7x optical zoom provides versatility in framing shots, allowing users to immerse themselves in rich image details. The wider aperture of f/3.4 enables better performance in low-light conditions compared to the Mavic 3, ensuring exceptional results even when capturing subjects at a distance.
The DJI Mavic 3 Pro offers three remarkable camera options to cater to different photography and videography needs. The Hasselblad camera excels in image quality, color accuracy, and dynamic range, providing professional creators with exceptional results. The Medium Tele camera compresses depth of field, highlighting subjects and creating visually captivating compositions. The Tele camera offers long-range capabilities, allowing users to capture distant subjects with high resolution and excellent zoom capabilities. Each camera option brings unique features and advantages to the Mavic 3 Pro, ensuring that creativity can be captured to its full potential and from new perspectives.
Another project with the team over at Stirlin Developments, this time over in Louth, with a 10,000sq ft office development for Duncan & Toplis and Wilkin Chapman Solicitors.
Despite the challenging weather conditions of a heavily overcast day and unexpected snowfall during the shoot, our expertise in Photoshop and other post-production tools allowed us to transform the photos, giving them the appearance of a sunny day.

Always a blast to be working with the amazing team over at Hewitt & Walker. This time a very unique was to showcase Electronics Direct’s site in Yorkshire, watch below;
This was a very intricate flight with a heavily choreographed route, the team over at Electronics Direct wanted to do something a little bit different and showcase the space and the team by showing their favourite hobbies.
Using our sub-250g FPV drone meant we could fly around the site and staff safely, with practice flights taking place before the shoot to navigate the route meant that the shot only took three takes in the early morning before work starts. We have since then retired this drone and flying an upgraded version.
All post-production work was carried out by Hewitt & Walker.

We cant resist having a fly about when we spot a combine in harvest.
Some shots from our DJI Mavic 3, testing out the ‘explore’ lens with a few FPV shots. This was shot last year during the peak of harvest, shot with full automatic settings.
The last harvest in this field for this farmer, he asked us to take a couple of pictures and videos for their records. One of my favorite testimonials comes from this shoot…

One of the first shoots of the year this year was with our friends over at Commuter Films! For this project we were tasked with shooting a range of accomdation sites at the University of Lincoln.
Shooting at sunrise is always worth getting up for when you get light like this. Using our DJI Mavic 3 CINE capturing low light scenes in stunning 5.1K is no problem. Using the 10-bit D-Log color profile gives huge felxibilty in post production allowing the drone shots to fit seamlessly into any project.

Last summer we worked with Wallbreaker Productions on a variety of projects. For this shoot were tasked with providing dynamic shots at Revesby Estate for a series of case studies they produced for Duncan & Toplis.
For this shoot we used the Inspire 2, due to the portability and lightweight frame of the Inspire, it meant we could travel across the estate to multiple locations to capture footage for the project in the narrow time window we had on the day.

This was our first shoot with Copper Crayon, we were commissioned to capture establishing aerial shots over a number of sites across Norfolk and Suffolk for a series of videos they produced for the National Trust.
Last summer we worked with Wallbreaker Productions on a variety of projects. For this shoot were tasked with providing dynamic shots of the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln for a series of case studies they produced for Duncan & Toplis.
For this shoot we primarily used the Inspire 2 as we could switch out lenses for a variety of shots. As the site started to get a little busier we switched to the Mavic 2, this drone is a lot quieter and less intrusive which was ideal for such a sensitive area.

We were hired by Choir for a three day shoot in Ulm, Germany for a project they were producing for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Take a virtual tour of Teva's state-of-the-art biopharmaceutical facility in Ulm, Germany, and meet the people leading the way to the next generation of medicines.
We assisted on the ground as a second camera as well as shooting the aerial footage for the project. We can travel worldwide with minimal expense and capture high quality footage both on the ground and in the air.
For this project we shot out of one hand luggage suitcase, out kitlist included;
Lenses, batteries, tripod, sound gear, chargers, etc.
Even with a small set up like this we were able to shoot smooth and cinematic 4K footage for our client.
