A few years ago, everyone was a drone operator. The technology and affordability of drone rigs made it possible to capture amazing visuals at a fraction of what it would have cost to rent a crane or a helicopter. The explosion of drone operators and the popularity of drone photography and videography have settled down recently, but the value of this type of media remains. While drone photography and videography does cost more than standard media, it’s still an incredibly affordable way to add immense production value to your work. It’s time to maximize your next media project with a drone.

Determine Whether or Not Your Project Would Benefit from a Drone

For a while, everyone was getting drone-happy. Not every project needs a drone. If you’re shooting tight shots of food, putting your camera on a quadcopter is not going to elevate the end product. However, if your project involves demonstrating the scale of something, or capturing the natural beauty of a landscape or scenery, a drone can do wonders. Further, if your project involves shooting somewhere that is difficult to access, a drone can help. If your media project is a candidate for drone photography and cinematography, it’s time to consider how best to use this technology.

Drone Photography and Videography Is All About Movement

When it comes to visuals, you don’t need a lot of movement for it to be effective. Subtle camera moves add production value without over complicating the process. Drones have the distinct advantage of being able to move across multiple planes while also making a camera move on the rig. This is great for executing big reveals. If you’re trying to showcase your new home community, a drone move rising up over a house and revealing the entire neighborhood can capture the majesty of the area all with one move. It’s all about how you use it, and that’s often up to the drone operator.
