Benefits of Aerial Footage for Corporate Videos

Benefits of Aerial Footage for Corporate Videos

Aerial shots are a great way to make your video stand out. Many videos will have aerial footage early on to grab a viewer’s attention by showing a perspective of a landscape never seen before. A long time ago, companies needed a huge budget so they could rent a helicopter to get aerial shots. With drones, we can get much more detailed and higher quality shots for a fraction of the cost. Drones have become very mainstream and the costs of owning a drone have gone down as well.

It’s very important that your contracted drone operator is licensed. There are many laws, rules, and regulations regarding flying a drone. A licensed drone operator will know where it is safe and legal to fly. Some basic rules to know include not flying within five miles of an airport, staying below 400 feet, and never flying over large crowds of people.

Shots a Drone can capture:

Company Headquarters

Group Shot

Construction

Indoors

Landscapes

 

 

Drones can stream footage to a pilot's controller and film from ground level up to 400 feet.

This means angles and framing can be adjusted on the spot while filming.

  1. I never knew that it's important to fly your aircraft below 400 feet if it's unmanned. I guess there are some important things to remember before you do aerial videoing. I am just going to hire a company to do it for me because I think they will have the tools and skills needed to make a solid video!
  2. It's great that this article mentions how a licensed drone operator knows where it's safe and legal to fly. This could be important in order to avoid legal problems and get the best footage for your corporation. A professional would probably also be able to help you plan the route for the drone videography so that you can get footage that is beautiful and will impress your audience.
  3. I like that you said that aerial shots can make your video stand out because they can easily grab a viewer’s attention. My husband and I are planning to own a business in the future. We know that we'll need to get the attention of our target customers to ensure the growth of our business, so we'll consider aerial cinematography for our marketing videos.
