Project Overview

A national television commercial for a premium automotive brand requiring dramatic urban aerial cinematography across two UK cities. DroneVision provided the aerial unit for a 4-day shoot, capturing hero shots for the 60-second and 30-second edits.

The Challenge

The brief required low-altitude urban flying at night with moving vehicle tracking — one of the most technically demanding drone cinematography scenarios. CAA permissions, police liaison, and road closures had to be coordinated across two cities.

Our Solution

We deployed our cinema-grade Inspire 3 with X9-8K Air sensor, paired with a dedicated FPV unit for the tracking sequences. Our team managed all regulatory permissions and coordinated with the production's AD department to integrate seamlessly into the shooting schedule.
