Google analytics

 Use of unmanned aerial system (drone)

As part of our film offering, we may conduct aerial filming using a UAS with a camera and some of this footage may be incorporated into film projects for ourselves or our clients. 

We value an individual’s privacy and this will be considered and respected at all times on UAS flights.  The remote pilot operating the UAS’s camera will only record and capture specific footage pertinent to the film brief and will be in line with CAA and ICO rules and regulations.

Our film crew are CAA qualified UAS remote pilots and A&P is licenced and insured to fly our drone.  Our drone team carry CAA/insurance documentation with them and wear high visibility vests identifying them as UAS drone pilots.
