What is a drone footage used for?
A slow flyover of a village in the early morning, a shot of a building site, an overview of a festival: the drone conveys the scale and situates the location. We use it as a directorial tool, not as a gimmick. One or two well-chosen shots are better than an entire sequence filmed from the air.
The footage is shot in 4K, stabilised, and colour-graded to match the rest of the project so that there is no visible seam between the ground and the sky.
Regulations and safety
Drone operations in Switzerland are regulated by the FOCA. We are registered, insured and prepare thoroughly for every flight: checking the areas (aerodromes, nature reserves, built-up areas), applying for permits where necessary, and securing the perimeter on the day of filming.
When working above an audience, the rules are strict and we enforce them. If a shot cannot be filmed safely, we will suggest an alternative way of achieving it.
Areas of expertise
Corporate and institutional films, filming of outdoor events, architecture and property, tourism, heritage, nature. A drone can complement a film shoot or a photo reportage on the same day, without the need for a second trip.
We operate throughout the canton of Vaud and French-speaking Switzerland, based in Chavornay.
