FPV drone video: Burberry’s 2021 collection at their flagship London store
Broadcast production legends Vivid Broadcast called us up to ask about our FPV (first-person view) drone services — particularly, our indoor flying skills. Before long, they got back to us to pencil in a site recce and a few shoot dates. We looked at the address of the location where we’d be filming — it was the flagship store of luxury fashion house Burberry!
Drone filming on the Thames: the giant floating Burberry handbag
Our third project with the iconic British fashion house saw us capturing aerial imagery — photos and videos — of the large barge-mounted bag drifting along to Tower Bridge — the first of several global sightseeing tours for the upscaled luxury accessory.
Drone videos on the Thames: superyacht photography for Bannenberg & Rowell
After shooting with Burberry in sunny summer London, we recently found ourselves once again releasing our Inspire 2 drone to the capital’s skies — this time for superyacht designers Bannenberg & Rowell.
Yacht photographer David Churchill put us in touch with Bannenberg & Rowell, who were looking to commission a professional drone team to capture some aerial stills and video footage of their luxurious new vessel ‘Moon Sand’.
Establishing FPV drone shots for Hospitality Weekend in the Woods 2021
Wes from Alpha Lab Studios — cinematographers for Hospitality, the events arm of UK drum and bass label Hospital Records — hired us to shoot establishing drone footage of their Weekend In The Woods festival in London’s Beckenham Place Park.
I love capturing FPV sequences which open promotional videos in a way that stops people’s thumbs from scrolling, and I just so happen to be a DnB fan, too!
The team asked us to shoot in the Apple ProRes 422 LQ codec, which balances sharp visuals with efficient file compression — easy to work with, and matched the quality of Alpha Lab’s ground cameras.
UK Business Angels Association: event photography and interviews in London
In November 2019, we provided event coverage for our friends at the UK Business Angels Association (UKBAA), documenting their Future Forward event in London with videos of the seminar’s proceedings and speeches, and through interviews with key people.
