Hit Creative is a licensed UK drone operator, providing drone photography, photogrammetry solutions and video for our clients in London. Demand is high for the unique perspective and insight aerial footage can bring, however for those that may not have experienced the direct benefits drone footage has on their content, we have compiled our top five reasons why you need drone footage in your videos…
1. Engage people and stand out
There is nothing quite like the perspective captured by drones. The impact and fascination created by footage captured from the birds-eye view of a drone is remarkable, it enhances the aesthetic of any video and it also increases engagement. Particularly if you’re an architect, developer, contractor or estate agent, it helps people understand your project or property, including the scale of the development and the setting. Drone footage also gives you an extra layer of credibility and professionalism in the eyes of your clients and followers.
Drone video footage can be used across social media and on your website to keep your brand looking fresh and up to date.
2. Help to tell your story
We make documentaries for architects and developers to explain the process do projects from concept to completion, and drone footage without question plays an integral part in telling the story.
Drone footage is immersive, and fully showcases the scale of the project. It adds a new dimension and helps to take the viewer on an authentic journey from beginning to end. We will often visit the project site multiple times throughout the construction period to for drone shoots, and then upon completion. Having this back catalogue of project drone footage assists us in creating a comprehensive project documentary with maximum impact.
3. We get the whole picture
It’s almost as though aerial drone filming was tailor-made for capturing footage of construction sites and finished architecture. The unique viewpoint on offer provides audiences with an understanding of scale, height and detail which enhances the overall experience and adds a new dimension to the story.
Drones hold a whole realm of possibilities which actually go beyond birds eye shots; they can get close to elevations and details that an ordinary camera man can’t, they are the ideal tool for showing inaccessible elements that and also providing information for architects in terms of the quality of finish during a project, or for refurbishment projects they can prove invaluable prior to design commencement (see below).
4. We can create highly detailed 3D models
We use fully-featured photogrammetry software to create virtual reality scenes for architects to understand elevations and the entirety of a project. From textured 3D meshes to orthographic projections, we use drone footage and photography to build a complete model of structures requiring refurbishment, or new builds during construction so that architects can inspect and assess the level of work required.
In addition, we can also complete detailed terrain surveys. Our output is optimized for use with external CAD software and visualisation software, and provides exact measurements which can serve as a basis for 2D technical drawings.
5. A cost-effective solution
Aerial footage has previously been expensive and inaccessible to most. Prior to drones it involved the acquisition of a helicopter complete with pilot, and when drones were first introduced those in the market used the scarcity of companies able to provide the service to inflate rates. Hit Creative is one of the media agencies changing the landscape of drone footage for all. We make it accessible and cost effective for our clients to get the footage they need to get the full picture.
