Preparing the shoot
Locations for drone filming
We study the space, light and flight paths to work out how to achieve each shot. We coordinate flight feasibility, permits and logistics with production.

We review airspace, access, obstacles and take-off areas. We prepare flight paths and operational requirements before the shoot.
We define framing, movement and references with the director and cinematographer. We choose the drone platform and camera around the shot and planned delivery.
We organise drone, camera and spare-parts transport around the destination and production schedule, coordinating the travel arrangements and documentation each shoot requires.
Hard cases for the Inspire 3 and the FPV units, batteries within IATA rules for cabin travel, and ATA Carnet paperwork when the destination requires it.
We handle AESA authorisations and ENAIRE coordination in Spain. Abroad we coordinate with the country's aviation authority and, when needed, with local fixers who know the paperwork.
Aviation civil liability insurance. For high-production-value shoots we extend project-specific cover before take-off.
