When my good friends asked me to get aerial shots of on their trip to the Iberian Pole in Madrid, I knew this was going to be an adventure that I couldn’t miss.

The brief was to document the Turner twins (Ross and Hugo) trip from London to the Iberian Pole in Madrid for and . Their goal was to ride the whole way using which they would need to stop and charge along the way.

I would be travelling with my mate and incredibly talented DOP, Andi Hampton. Between us we were responsible for documenting this adventure through film and photography, sending daily content and updates to Breitling and Belstaff for their social campaigns.

We travelled 2,535 kilometres through England, France and Spain stopping 26 times to charge the bikes which took a total of 59 hours. After 8 days of riding we finally reached the Iberian Pole with dusty clothes and sore bums! The cost of charging the bikes over the whole trip cost less that £15.

The campaign was a massive success, providing our clients an exciting narrative to share with their followers, increasing brand awareness, engagement and loyal customers.

Another car commercial I shot recently for filming the awesome Mitsubishi L200.

We were able to capture some really cool shots of the L200 using our drones and I love how the orange colour pops against the green grass.

Having a moving subject to focus on when flying a drone is great fun but also brings a lot of challenges for more dynamic shots. It takes a lot of practice and planning to be able to fly the drone backwards at speed, avoiding any obstacles, while keeping the car in focus and in frame.

Thankfully we have lots of experience filming cars and the shoot was a massive success. No drones were hurt in the making of this film.

Drones are capable of seeing the world from another perspective. The technology has advanced so quickly that we are now able to fly the drone with amazing precision, enabling us to capture shots that only a few years ago would have been impossible.

Here are a few clips from a recent job I did for a large client, filming in a quarry. I love the perspective of following the crushed rocks along the conveyor belt until they fall onto a pile below.

Whatever the industry, drones capture images from another perspective and with a good pilot, there is no limit to what is achievable.
