What it covers

Sweeping establishing shots and flythroughs for real estate, resorts, festivals and launches — shot by licensed pilots.

An aerial does one of two jobs: it shows scale, or it shows context. A housing society reads as a real place once you see the road grid and the mountains behind it; a resort sells the drive in; an event looks like an event when you can see the crowd.

Our pilots are licensed and fly with permissions arranged ahead of the shoot day, which matters in Islamabad and Rawalpindi where a good deal of airspace is restricted. We scout the site first and plan the moves rather than improvising on the day.

Deliverables

What you get

Graded aerial sequences

Each planned move delivered as a graded, stabilised clip, plus the full set of usable raw takes.

Site overview stills

High-resolution top-downs and obliques — the frames developers and agents reuse across listings and print.

Cut-ready reveals

Short reveal and flythrough edits sized for reels, listings pages and presentation decks.

Who books this

Who books aerial & drone cinematography

  • Real estate & housing societies

    Site overviews, phase progress and flythroughs across Bahria Town, DHA and the newer schemes off Islamabad Expressway.

  • Resorts & tourism

    Approach shots, property reveals and landscape sequences — including northern-area shoots where the drive is the story.

  • Events & festivals

    Crowd scale, stage reveals and venue context, flown around the schedule rather than over the audience.

  • Construction & infrastructure

    Monthly progress stills and video from fixed positions, so one month can be compared honestly against the last.

How it runs

From brief to delivery

  1. Site & airspace check

    We review the location, confirm what's flyable and arrange permissions before the date is fixed.

  2. Flight plan

    Moves are planned per shot — reveals, orbits, top-downs — with a ground-coverage plan alongside.

  3. Shoot day

    Pilot plus camera operator, batteries for continuous coverage, and ground footage captured in the same window.

  4. Post & delivery

    Stabilised, graded clips and stills delivered with the raw files.

Budget

What moves the price

Every quote is built from these, and naming them is how you compare two quotes properly.

  • Location, and whether it sits in restricted airspace — this is the biggest single variable in the twin cities
  • Permissions: what has to be arranged, with whom, and how long it takes
  • Number of flights and how much air time the shot list actually needs
  • Whether ground coverage is shot in the same visit (much cheaper than a second day)
  • Travel and overnight stays for sites outside Islamabad and Rawalpindi
  • Deliverables: raw clips, a graded sequence, stills, or a cut reel

FAQ

Aerial & Drone Cinematography — questions we get

It is quoted per shoot rather than per hour, and the location matters more than the runtime — a site in open airspace is straightforward, while a restricted area means permissions and a longer lead time. The factors above list everything that moves the number. Adding aerials to a shoot you have already booked is always the cheapest route, because it is one crew and one day.

No — parts of Islamabad and Rawalpindi are restricted airspace, and some societies and venues have their own rules on top of that. We check the specific site and arrange the permissions that apply before the shoot is scheduled. If a location can't be flown, we say so at quoting stage instead of on the day.

Yes. Flights are operated by licensed pilots, which matters both for the permissions process and for insurance on commercial sites. It is worth asking any drone service this before booking — plenty of operators in the twin cities don't hold one.

Yes, and it's the cheaper way to do it — one crew, one day, ground and aerial coverage together.

Aerial work is weather-dependent. We hold a backup date in the schedule from the start, at no extra cost.

Stabilised, graded clips and stills within about a week of the flight, with the raw files alongside. Progress-coverage clients on a monthly cycle get a faster turnaround because the template is already built.
