A new arrival to the fleet

Its arrived, we’ve taken delivery of the New Mavic Pro, we decided to buy one just for set up time on site really, with the same camera specification as the DJI Inspire 1 it was a no brainer.

No sooner had we got it, we took it out for a spin.

Flys great and it will be a great addition to the fleet.

Creating a Corporate Video

We havent had much time to blog over the Autumn and Christmas periods as we have been busy creating a Corporate Video for RockSpring for their Business Park in Aylesbury.

Westcott Venture Park is huge and the largest Business Park in Oxford based on an old bomber training base that changed to a rocket testing site in 1946, Westcott covers some 650 acres of land, the job at hand was mammoth task.

With our partners at Meeco Uk in London, we were asked to do an Aerial fly through of the park and also using CGI include some new buildings that are due to be constructed in 2017. We had some ups and downs, but after several flights, numerous designs for the CGI we finally completed for the client. The video takes pride and place on the Westcott website, but just for you here it is in all its glory.

 

Old Roman Ruins

I was asked by my very good friend and local wildlife warden Steve England to survey some local Roman Ruins uncovered by a building company at our local Dings Rugby Club before it was due to be built on.

The resulting image will live on in prosperity, such a shame.

We also made the local paper.

A Tale of Two Places

We were asked to film in two locations last week for Kinetal Media and SRK Scaffolding.

We started the day at Castle Drogo on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, the castle is undergoing major renovation and SRK were called into erect a temporary wrap over the castle to protect it from the elements whilst work got under way. Although the weather was against us we managed to film the site and the various aspects of protection SRK had installed.

Flight gets underway

Work continues no matter the weather

Weather worsened during the shoot, but we percivered

SRK Scaffolding job is to make sure the castle stays dry in any weather, and they do just that

Next a quick trip back to Bristol to film SRK Scaffoldings work at Ashton Avenue Bridge, another structure receiving major renovation at the moment. Luckily for us the weather did not follow, it was quite blustery but our drone coped really well producing some excellent footage. ONTO THE NEXT

360 Degree Virtual Tour

Over the course of the summer apart from the normal land surveys we do for various companies, we were approached to do 360 virtual tours for two business parks on the outskirts of Bath. This wasn’t the first VR tour we had done but two at once was quite a challange.

Using our drones and software from Kolor and over the course of a month we produced two interactive tours for the client for his website. The client was overjoyed and our results can be seen using the link below.

If you are interested in any virtual tour please contact us for further details and to see what we can do for you.
