Stills carry different requirements than motion — resolution, latitude, and the patience to wait out the light.
Aerial stills for hospitality, luxury real estate and fashion, in a market where the listing photography standard is unusually high. The marine layer moves fast enough that the shoot is planned around a window, not a day.
Aerial stills for key art, campaigns, editorial, architecture and listings. We shoot raw, deliver graded or flat depending on what your retoucher wants, and we plan around the sun rather than around the schedule where the schedule allows it. The same certification and insurance apply as on any motion job, because the airspace does not care what you are capturing.
Hurricane season runs June through November and brings temporary flight restrictions along with the weather. Winter and early spring are the prime window, which is exactly when the market is busiest and books out furthest.
Miami International anchors Class B across the metro, with Fort Lauderdale and Opa-locka adding their own airspace to the north. The beach corridor everyone wants sits under the busiest of it. Add hurricane-season temporary restrictions and a marine layer that moves fast, and the planning window here is genuinely shorter than producers expect.
We shoot South Beach, the causeways, Brickell, and the water — and we travel. CineDrones works nationwide, so if your production is basing in Miami and shooting somewhere else entirely, that is a normal week for us.
