Our aerial cinematography services
Six starting points, one approach: plan carefully, fly precisely, and hand over footage that cuts cleanly into your edit. Most projects borrow from more than one. We’re based in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties and work wherever the project is, with the same airspace, permit and weather homework every time.
Aerial Cinematography
Composed, cinematic aerial footage for commercials, films, documentaries and branded content.
This is the heart of what we do: camera work that happens to fly. Every move is chosen for the story. Where the frame starts, what it reveals, how fast it travels, and where it lands so the editor has somewhere to go.
Typical uses
- Opening reveals and establishing shots
- Coastal, mountain and desert landscapes
- Tracking shots of cars, boats and people
- Transitions between locations or chapters
Commercial & Brand Films
Aerial work for agencies, production companies and brands making commercials and campaign films.
A commercial is often remembered for one image. Aerial cinematography can give a campaign that image: a road drawn across a hillside, the scale of a coastline, a city seen from a height most people never stand at.
Typical uses
- Television and online commercials
- Automotive spots on coastal and canyon roads
- Brand anthem and manifesto films
- Social cutdowns in vertical and square
Film & Television Support
An aerial unit for features, series, documentaries and independent films.
On a film or series, an aerial has to earn its place in the cut. We treat each one as part of the storytelling: what the audience needs to understand, feel or anticipate at that exact moment.
Typical uses
- Establishing and location shots
- Second-unit landscape sequences
- Vehicle and action coverage
- Documentary context and transitions
Real Estate & Architectural Cinematography
Aerial films and stills for luxury listings, developments and architecture.
A great property is never just the building. In Southern California it’s the ocean view, the canyon it sits in, the acreage, the drive up through the oaks. Aerial footage shows buyers all of that in a few seconds.
Typical uses
- Listing films and property tours
- Twilight and golden-hour sequences
- Architectural portfolio films and stills
- Development launches and pre-sales
Hospitality, Travel & Tourism
Aerial films for hotels, resorts, wineries and destinations along the Southern California coast.
People choose where to stay with their hearts first. Aerial footage shows them the setting, whether that’s the surf in front of the terrace, the hills behind the vineyard or the harbor lights at dusk, before they’ve read a word.
Typical uses
- Resort and hotel brand films
- Website hero loops and booking-page imagery
- Winery and venue showcases
- Seasonal campaigns and social content
Construction & Development Progress
Repeatable aerial progress imagery that follows a build from groundbreaking to ribbon-cutting.
A construction site changes every week, and nobody remembers what it looked like a month ago. Regular aerial imagery gives you a clear, honest record of progress, and the raw material for the story of the build.
Typical uses
- Scheduled progress stills from fixed viewpoints
- Milestone and topping-out films
- Investor and stakeholder updates
- Time-lapse style sequences across the build
