Drone Videography for Hotels and Venues

For hotels and venues

Billie plans flights around the airspace rules and guests’ privacy, and grades the aerial footage to match the rest of the film.

On the shoot

Shooting around guests

Rooms are only available between bookings, so shoots are scheduled with the front desk and housekeeping, and public areas are filmed at quieter times or with guests’ agreement.

Styling every room

Each room is reset and styled before it is shot, with the same details repeated across room types so booking pages look consistent.

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.

Aerial and ground footage together
Edit and colour matched to the film

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a boutique hotel or venue that needs regular social content and a few finished pieces. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a hotel or venue with weddings, conferences and food and beverage to promote, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a group of properties wanting weekly sessions. Events at the venue can be produced by Billie Private, quoted per project.
