FAQs

We have a range of pricing options depending on what you’re looking to capture, whether it’s a one off drone photo or a series of commercial marketing videos. Some clients are just after one or two aerial images without any editing, while others are looking for a combination of edited photos and videos to maximise their value for money.

It’s best to give us a call or send us an email describing your project and we’ll give you an accurate estimate in no time.

Absolutely! Thankfully our job takes us all over this beautiful country (and hopefully soon, globally).

Based in Auckland we’ve travelled around New Zealand for commercial projects from Cape Reinga to Dunedin so far. We don’t mark up our travel costs and just pass these straight on to our clients.

We sure do! In many cases, capturing the photos or video content is actually less than 50% of the time required to complete the job. The real magic comes in how the footage is edited and this is what takes the majority of the time. We use the Adobe Creative Suite, primarily Lightroom, Premiere Pro and After Effects to transform what was captured in the camera into the final product.

For photography, we supply two folders of JPEGs. The first is what we call ‘Print Ready’ and are the highest resolution, full size imagery at 300dpi which are great for printing in large scale. The second are ‘Web Size’ files which are reduced in size and 72dpi, perfect for emailing or uploading to your website without slowing it down.

For video, we’ll predominantly export at 1080p, but can also export in 4K if discussed prior to the shoot. Videos are typically exported as .MOV files.

We can supply footage or photos to match your requirements - please let us know prior to quoting as this could effect our costings.

This really depends on the shoot, the number of outputs and the types of files required.

Typically, for photography we’ll supply the edited photos within 1-3 weeks. Full videos take much longer to edit so these are most often 2-4 weeks in the making.

If for whatever reason you require your footage more urgently, please just let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

We don’t supply the RAW footage as part of our packages. Some people are under the assumption that RAW footage is pretty much the same as the shots that end up in your final video just much more of it and not to music. I can assure you it’s quite a bit messier than that!

Typically we’d shoot somewhere between 50-150Gbs of footage, or many hours of video, and I can assure you that you don’t want to go wading through this. Furthermore, part of what you’re paying for when working with a video production company is their experience and expertise when it comes to telling the best story. So please trust that we know what we’re doing and we’re saving you from taking up heaps of space with shaky, ungraded footage that you’ll never watch.

If you’d like to request certain types of shots are captured or have a special significance to you then please mention it up front, prior to filming, and we’ll do our best to capture it and include it.

In short, yes we do. We’ll work with you to establish where you’re looking to carry out the shoot, raising any areas we feel will need permissions.
