AERIAL DRONE CINEMATOGRAPHY

CASA LICENSED | FULLY INSURED | ACS MEMBERS

Flying Dragon flies bold new lines in aerial drone cinematography. We have introduced new techniques and technology designed to achieve the unachievable shot. We fly further, faster and closer than anyone else in this emerging field of film. In Australia Flying Dragon currently holds a CASA night rating and also the 15 meter to public license.
Our background first and foremost is in cinematography with an emphasis both on the aesthetics of the frames captured and of dynamic motion. This deep cinematography knowledge is complemented by state of the art expertise in remote control flight. It is this combination that allows true artistry in producing stunning images that are exactly what film professionals are looking for.
Our aerial drones can replace the limitations of real helicopters, jibs, booms, cranes, zip lines and dolly’s. We have real time HD video downlink and long-distance remote follow focus capabilities allowing the director, pilot and remote aerial camera operator to manoeuvre, frame and capture the perfect shot.
We work worldwide on series productions, television commercials, music clips, documentaries, corporate, short and feature films.

ALL OUR AERIAL DRONES ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR IMAGE ACQUISITION AND ALL OUR TEAM ARE TRAINED IN ART OF CINEMATOGRAPHY.
