Drone Videography Matakana, Auckland

The service

An aerial shot can do in three seconds what a paragraph cannot: show where a place is, how big a project is, or how a road unwinds along a coast. Billie plans aerial work as part of the whole film rather than as a bolt-on, so it cuts in naturally.

What’s included

Aerial shot planning
Flight planning around airspace rules
Aerial and ground footage together
Edit and colour matched to the film
Stills from the air

In Matakana

Matakana is a village north of Auckland, near Warkworth, surrounded by vineyards, farmland and beaches such as Omaha and Tāwharanui. Its Saturday farmers market and rural wedding venues make it a popular weekend escape from the city.

Vineyard rows, rolling farmland, the river through the village and nearby white-sand beaches give a relaxed countryside and coast look.

Every flight is planned against the Civil Aviation Authority’s Part 101 rules and checked against the airspace over the exact spot before the day, because much of urban New Zealand sits in controlled airspace that needs clearance through Airshare.

Billie is part of Hemara Group, which is headquartered in Auckland, so shoots in Matakana need no travel.

Our work

Aerial footage is graded and cut alongside the ground footage, so it matches the rest of the film instead of looking like stock.
