Drone Videography for Automotive

For automotive

Billie plans aerial work as part of the whole shoot, with the vehicle, the road and the flight rules worked out in advance.

What Billie makes

Tracking shots on closed or quiet roads
Dealership and yard aerials
Landscape establishing shots

On the shoot

Reflections

Paint and glass reflect the crew, the sky and the showroom, so vehicles are shot with large diffused light or in open shade and positioned with care.

Roads and permits

Driving shots on public roads may need council permission and a traffic management plan, and anything beyond normal driving needs a closed road or a private location.

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

Our work
