Aerial Imagery

A CAA-approved professional drone operator since 2015, we offer aerial imagery both as a stand-alone service and as an add-on to any film or photography shoot. We are also flexible and experienced enough as film makers to be able to integrate our UAS crew into a third-party production, working with an outside production company or director.

The creative possibilities are endless. So whether you’re looking to add a stunning new dimension to your production (literally!) or have any other airborne ideas, please get in touch to see what we could do for you – the sky’s the limit!

Our approach

We have a clear track record in the factual film industry.

We understand what makes a good film, what makes a good image and what works. We understand when to use aerial imagery and how to seamlessly integrate it into a project.

Safety and legal requirements

Seymour Productions operates strictly in accordance with the prevailing UK regulations and our own Civil Aviation Authority-approved safety procedures.

When operating abroad, we make sure we fully understand and adhere to the local regulations.

We hold the legally-required CAA Operational Authorisation and specialist UAV insurance, which includes public liability cover. All our pilots have been rigorously trained to work under the CAA’s advanced Specific Operations category and hold the CAA-recognised GVC Remote Pilot Certificate of Competence.

Our aircraft are subject to a rigorous maintenance schedule and all equipment is thoroughly inspected before each operation. The details of all operations and maintenance activities are meticulously recorded. Each aircraft is fitted with a fail safe / return-to-home mode, which ensures it will automatically return to its landing site and land in the event of pilot incapacitation or control link failure.

To ensure we always maintain the highest levels of safety and professional integrity, we will not compromise on any of these standards.
