Drones are increasingly being used for filming all kinds of television programmes and movies. Here is a small selection that demonstrates how drones are employed on the set of some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters:
Bond film Skyfall
Epic Bond adventure Skyfall is a well known example. The company who filmed some of the aerial shots won an Oscar for its aerial imaging machinery. To find out more about Drone Filming Companies, contact https://www.skypower.co.uk/
The Wolf of Wall Street
Martin Scorsese used a drone to shoot footage of the party scene in the Hamptons house.
Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets
For a franchise steeped in CGI, the incredible drone footage is sometimes difficult to spot. This is especially true when the footage has been used as the backdrop for a moving car.
Van Helsing
Hugh Jackman as Dracula’s archnemesis made for a forgettable movie, but there were some impressive drone shots. Some scenes were filmed using an UAV in the Czech Republic.
November Man
One of the best examples of drone usage on a film set is November Man starring Pierce Brosnan. Brosnan is a spy who works for an agency that uses drones to conduct surveillance and reconnaissance. In some scenes, viewers get a bird’s-eye view of the action. The director Roger Donaldson loved the aerial footage so much that he asked pilots to help him shoot the film after the scenes with the drones had finished.
