TRUSTED BY TEAMS BUILDING WHAT’S NEXT
Show Buyers Where the Project Sits
A strong aerial sequence can establish the wider surroundings before bringing viewers closer to the project. It creates context around the architecture, landscape, access and overall development.
Capture More Than the Building
Project Scale
Show the overall development from elevated viewpoints that make its size and layout easier to understand.
Architecture
Present buildings, façades and key architectural elements from perspectives that ground-level footage cannot always provide.
Landscape & Amenities
Show landscaped areas, open spaces, amenities and the relationship between different parts of the development.
Surrounding Environment
Place the project within its wider neighbourhood, landscape and built environment.
Roads & Access
Show surrounding roads, approaches and access points where relevant to the project story.
Connectivity
Establish the project's relationship with important locations, landmarks and surrounding areas.
Build the Aerial Story Around the Setting
A drone film works best when the sequence has a clear visual purpose. archVi plans the movement from wider context to project, or the reverse, depending on what the audience needs to understand.
Wider Context
Establish the surrounding landscape, neighbourhood or development environment.
Approach
Move towards the project through planned aerial viewpoints that create visual continuity.
Project Reveal
Bring the architecture and development into focus through the agreed sequence.
Key Views
Highlight important buildings, amenities, landscapes or project features.
From Brief to Final Drone Film
Brief
Define the purpose, audience, narrative direction and required outputs.
Shot Planning
Identify flight paths, viewpoints, locations and sequences required for the film.
Capture
Conduct the aerial shoot according to the approved plan and site conditions.
Edit
Structure the footage into the required narrative, duration and communication format.
Review & Delivery
Complete agreed revisions and deliver the approved final film in the required formats.
Define the Shoot Before Production
Aerial filming depends on location, flight requirements, site conditions and the intended final film. These requirements should be established before production so the scope remains clear.
Project & Location
Confirm the project location, surrounding areas, priority views and intended visual context.
Shot List & Flight Plan
Define the required viewpoints, movements, sequences and coverage before the shoot.
Site Access & Permissions
Establish access, safety requirements, permissions and other location-specific responsibilities.
Post-Production
Define editing, music, graphics, voiceover and other agreed finishing requirements.
Final Delivery
Confirm duration, resolution, formats, versions and intended usage before delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drone films provide an elevated view of architecture, project scale and surrounding context that ground-level footage cannot always communicate. They can connect the project with its landscape, access routes and wider environment while giving the audience a clearer sense of where the development sits.
Yes, where the project scope includes both aerial and ground-level production. Combining perspectives can create a more complete film by connecting the wider project context with closer views of architecture, spaces and people.
Yes. Aerial footage can help establish the relationship between a project and surrounding roads, landmarks and locations. Where specific routes or travel journeys need to be communicated, a dedicated Route & Connectivity Film may be more appropriate.
The duration depends on the film's application, platform, narrative and amount of information being communicated. The required duration should be established during briefing so the shot plan and edit can be structured accordingly.
It can be reused where the agreed usage rights and output requirements allow it. The original scope should make clear how the captured material can be used and whether additional formats or adaptations are required.
Responsibilities depend on the project location and production arrangement. Permissions, site access, safety requirements, weather constraints and other flight conditions should be identified and assigned during planning.
