Why entrust our network with the production of your aerial video?

Our network and our members are all specialists in the field of drone photography and video.

As such, we carry out all types of aerial photography and filming. Whatever the type of project you wish to carry out, our members have high-performance equipment that guarantees you very high definition drone shots. By using our drone network, you will benefit from the know-how and experience of highly qualified and experienced technicians and creatives.

When it comes to making flights with remotely piloted machines (UAV/UAS), it is essential to have a very good knowledge of the regulations in force. Indeed, for obvious safety reasons, overflight and the taking of aerial photographs are subject to restrictions in France, or even formally prohibited depending on the geographical area. This is why, in addition to their technical training, the members of our drone network pilots have a perfect command of the legal rules concerning flying. In addition, each of them is declared to the DGAC (Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile), the organisation that regulates the use of civilian drones in French airspace.

Each one proceeds to the establishment of various administrative formalities such as flight declarations or permits requests.

Depending on the location of your drone video shoot, remote drone pilots are required to apply to the relevant authorities for flight permission. Only professionals are authorised to carry out this type of procedure.

All of these elements provide you with the necessary guarantees for the smooth running of your video shoot.

Our network of remote pilots, HOsiHO Drone Pilots Network, has a wide range of skills. Indeed, in addition to the regulatory aspect, the production of an aerial video requires excellent knowledge of remote piloting as well as a very good field experience. In addition, the production of a film requires a real know-how as a cameraman. The large number of skills required to produce a quality video calls for the involvement of several talents. Our members' teams are made up of different professionals who pool their various fields of expertise: telepilots, cameramen and professional editors work together to offer our clients a final result that meets their requirements. The coordination of these different technicians makes it possible to obtain an excellent qualitative result.

How does the production of a film by drone work in practice?

As a client of our company, you have the option of choosing a series of images or drone footage from our image bank and aerial video bank. These stock shots are carefully sorted and selected to best suit your needs.

You can also opt for a completely personalised photo or video request. In principle, the process always follows the same pattern. Before any filming begins, a project study is essential. Next comes the location phase, which is necessary to detect any obstacles that need to be taken into account during the filming.

This stage allows, among other things, to determine the most appropriate places for the drone to take off and land.

Once this preparation phase is over, the team in charge of taking the images can begin their work.

In the case of filmed footage, following the collection of video capture, the team in charge of processing the images, editing and assembling the different sequences, intervenes.

It is then possible to add texts, music, etc. This phase directly precedes the delivery and discovery of your aerial audiovisual production.
