Filming Inside Using a Drone

It is possible to use drone imagery to generate unique footage even within interior spaces!

For the AB InBev construction project our creative drone team two different drones to acquire shots not easily achievable by most pilots and crews.  As project proceeded we also had safety spotters communicating with phones in real time so we could shoot closer to the large cranes on site.  We also had some high winds with bad weather, but were able to continue to fly as the drone was able to begin with a dramatic pan across the construction site then hone in on a single load lift. Moreover, the drone was able to capture the shots better and safely with the added safety spotters on site with the drone pilot.

Events Captured through Drone Videography

Capturing events with drone video is essential for showcasing their significance. We’ve shot for many special events, ground breakings, grand opening ceremonies and construction topping out celebrations.

For Alberici our team took footage of the large American Flag being raised with the last steel beam for placement.  We were able to add the crowd in the background that had gathered for the occasion, adding to the atmosphere of the video.

Documentarians utilized drone footage to illustrate a more comprehensive story of events.  We’ve shot stories for Cahokia Mounds, national events for

St. Louis and multiple company histories with local landmarks in the shots.  With unique camera movements the footage promptly conveyed that something extraordinary was about to take place.

Drone inspections for roof and gutter systems

A roof is vital for any residential or commercial building because it protects the structure from extreme weather conditions, heavy winds, and snow. A sustainable roof maintains and supports the structure of a building. Because it withstands the weather, a roof often suffers wear and tear over time. It deteriorates the structure and stability of the roof. It is important to use a regular roof inspection to avoid emergency repairs that result in major expenses. A commercial drone may decrease the need for man-hours to inspect the roof and overcome all of the difficulties associated with traditional inspection methods. A neglected gutter may also cause a decline in performance and cause water ingression. Regular checks are needed to avert a number of issues.

Reduced manpower, equipment, and time demands are just a few of the benefits associated with using drones. Because of this, we can perform a comprehensive inspection in a brief amount of time. We can also save money by avoiding the expense of labor and climbing gear. Drones help in numerous ways to save money, which would otherwise be unattainable using conventional methods. We can avoid safety risks by using drones in lieu of traditional inspection methods. Using traditional methods to examine roofs and gutters requires physical personnel to be physically present at a working location. The drone can prevent any damage to a roof or gutter by eliminating the need for personnel to walk on the roof.

A roof inspection using drones allows us to inspect every corner and every difficult-to-reach spot. Using drones, we can collect data using high-definition images and videos. When we inspect a roof using drones, we can examine a wider region without the risk of being at a higher elevation. We can also avoid physical damage that may occur with traditional inspection methods. As a result, we can identify defects including buckling, missing or damaged shingles, and gaps in the roof. It is critical to detect these issues as soon as possible to avoid potential risks and expenses. Blocked pipes, broken joints, rusty, corroded, or undesirable plant growth can all be spotted with regular gutter inspections.
