As a result of our rapidly developing technology, the cost aerial photography and video has now become an extremely cost effective solution for many applications.
Only a drone can create an immersive 3D perspective of this lovely property nestled within these enormous gum trees.
Cost Effective
Gone are the days of hiring a helicopter at $1000 per hour just to shoot a few aerial stills! With current state-of-the-art technology, drones are now being used for professional elevated photography and video. They also have the advantage of being able to get into tighter spaces than a helicopter could ever hope to achieve.
Aerial Cinematic Video
Having come from a film background, I am mainly using my drone for cinematic video. Rather than simply using the standard flyover that we are so used to seeing in almost every real estate video, I concentrate on smooth directional panning, whilst continuously keeping the main subject framed correctly within the video.
You may also notice (if you pause the video above) that unlike still photos, the individual frames are slightly blurred. This is called ‘motion blur’ and is purposely achieved by attaching special filters to the drone’s camera, so that it uses a lower shutter speed. Our eyes perceive this as a smooth motion.
IMPORTANT ADVICE: If you’re looking to hire a drone pilot… do your research first! Flying a drone is one thing – filming is an entirely different subject. Unfortunately, the majority of drone footage that we are used to seeing is all straight-line flying, jerky and very unnatural looking. This is due to the lack of the pilot’s filming theory and techniques.
Aerial Still Photography
Drones are a fantastic way to capture images from a different perspective than what see from the ground. An elevated distance only 5 metres can make the all the difference when capturing that perfect photo.
Professional drones are equipped with high quality cameras, which shoot in camera RAW – the same quality format that is used by most top-end professional photographers.
