Why You Should Consider Drones and Aerial Videography

#Drones and #aerial #videography have become a recent phenomenon in the video world. #Videographers are now able to take magnificent aerial shots in hard-to-reach areas, making for exceptional #video #content.

It would seem that many companies are making use of drone systems these days. In the video and #photography world, videographers and photographers can capture pretty impressive moments. For certain companies, this type of content may not be in their budget or #marketing stream. But for the various companies who depend on wide #landscape #shots, it is slowly becoming a must.

Companies who depend on landscape marketing, such as construction companies, real estate, and resorts, can all benefit from aerial videography. The true size, nature, layout and structure of an area can be difficult to determine from an on-land photo or video.

Aerial videography is essential for attracting a potential #client to a #company. Drones are able to capture the vastness of a particular area. Thus making it an easier selling point.

Additionally, if a particular #area is under construction, #drone videography makes it easy to identify which parts of that area are being built or repaired, and which areas are in the process of being restructured. It’s difficult to omit areas in aerial videography. Sites that are in need of improvement will be included in the footage. In essence, there are little corners that can be cut, and little detail that won’t be captured.

Aerial Videography for your Corporate Video

Aerial videography is quickly becoming a more widespread technique used in many mainstream videos both in and out of the corporate video world.

Aerial videography and imagery has always been intriguing to the eye for as long as we’ve had access to cameras and tall buildings.

Aerial Videography for your Corporate Video

#AerialVideography has often been considered a bit of a luxury in the video world as it required #helicopter rentals, and expensive #stabilizers, and not to mention an extremely experienced (and sometimes fearless) videographer. These elements would end up putting quite a dent in the production #budget… all for what would be small fraction of beautiful footage within a much larger production. As a result, many smaller-budget projects would shy away from the use of #aerial #videography, thereby missing out on its aesthetic benefits and the immense #ProductionValue that it had to offer.

Nowadays, aerial videography is slowly becoming commonplace thanks to the affordable remote controlled helicopters and drones that are available to the everyday consumer. For example, #DJI has a Phantom #MultiRotor that’s perfect for the everyday consumer and is equipped to hold your #GoPro and capture amazing #AerialImagery without breaking the bank.

Aerial videography can be an excellent asset to your #CorporateVideoProduction since it can add a great deal of #ProductionValue to your video with just a few seconds of video. Aerial video allows you to capture imagery that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to access without the help of a helicopter (and of course a large budget). When it comes to corporate video, aerial footage can be useful for showcasing a company’s facilities, signage, locations, etc. In addition, it can also be a useful tool for adding a creative flair to otherwise stagnant, or “boring” shots. Most importantly, aerial footage can add an element of professionalism and uniqueness to your video.

Are you looking to spice up your #CorporateVideo? Perhaps showcase some #AerialFootage of your company’s signage or premises? Keywest recently acquired a DJI Phantom – contact us today!

…Of course, if you aren’t willing to spend some cash on a remote-controlled helicopter… you could always strap a GoPro to an eagle and see how that goes!

DJI Phantom Field Test: Keywest Vlog

The DJI Phantom is an impressive little quad-copter, and the Key West team is excited to now have one in our possession!

Key West Video recently acquired a new toy. Well, it’s a bit more complicated than child’s play. More expensive too. But well worth the cost. Our videographer Chris has a fun time taking our DJI #Phantom out to a nearby park just the other day, along with our #GoPro to test it out.

The #quadcopter can get quite high off the ground, thus allowing for some pretty impressive shots. The opportunities for more dynamic shots are definitely increased with this addition to our equipment roster. Along with our sliders and stedi-cams, the #DJI Phantom will aid in bringing our clients videos to a higher production value.

Whether it be for an establishing shot of our client’s location, to b-roll around their facility, or intricate walking shots, there are a variety of uses for this production tool. We already have a few ideas in mind, and are plotting out how we can integrate it into some of our upcoming shoots.

Check out the video below which showcases the DJI Phantom in action!

Here’s what others had to say about the DJI Phantom:

It’s so fun to fly! Seriously, it’s one of the coolest toys I’ve ever played with. Ever. Everybody who tried it came away grinning. Once it’s all set up, it’s really pretty easy to fly, as long as you don’t get carried away and go to fast/high. The GPS features are all fantastic and may be a literal life-saver. The Wi-Fi repeater is a really smart idea, and being able to adjust the camera with your phone is fantastic. The JPGs it takes are fine, but if you don’t mind tweaking your photos later, shooting in DNG is really nice. The POV stills embedded in this post were all shot in DNG and then tweaked in Adobe Lightroom.

DJI’s Phantom quadcopters are the first I’ve flown that really open my eyes to the potential of RC and autonomous drones. It combines a mix of technologies–gyroscopes, GPS, Wi-Fi, smartphones–in just the right way to make it much more than the sum of its parts. The flying experience really feels magical; it’s something you may have to fly or see in person to appreciate. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it if you’re in the market for a prosumer RC quad.
