4 Tips in Using Drones and Aerial Photography
Aerial filming has become more accessible and inexpensive for small production crews since the arrival of drones. Many firms now hire top video production houses in Singapore to film overhead pictures of their workplaces or event participants. Here are four tips you can use when using drones and aerial photography in your production.
#1 Using Aerial Shots for Commercials
Many organisations use aerial shots for corporate videos to provide a birds-eye view of their office settings. Drones are also often used in automobile launch movies. Major automakers fly drones to obtain aerial shots of new vehicles along long miles of unoccupied roads.
#2 Study the Singapore Drone Regulations
Singapore's new drone regulations mean that all drones and other aircraft have to be registered. Only a videographer who obtained an Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence can manage any drone videography in Singapore. Certain areas in Singapore, like at Paya Lebar, are strictly no-fly zones. These places are usually near airbases or restricted areas off-limits to the public.
#3 Allotting Time for Filming Preparations and Requirements
Factor in at least two weeks for the processing of your drone permit application. It is to ensure the approval of permits on the filming date. If you cannot cater this two weeks application period into your schedule, perhaps it might not be feasible to have an aerial shot in your video.
#4 The Cost of Adding Aerial Photography
As previously stated, the videographer will need to apply for several licenses before recording. It implies that the permits required will incur additional charges. The refusal of your permission might incur fees associated with the reapplication procedure. It might also cause a delay in the filming process because we may have to alter the filming dates.
