Aerial photography: why use Drone-Pictures?

Aerial images immediately attracts the eye. It's a powerful vector of dynamism, creativity and enhancement for a project. And since a picture is worth a thousand words, video is a truly effective communication medium that makes it very easy to see the message.
In these times, the role of video is moving with society. People want exceptional, intense, stunning images. The image is no longer just a means of communication: it's now a true immersive event. In this context, techniques are also evolving. From dull images with boring shots, we have moved on to 8k videos, full of colours, details and dynamic. The originality and aesthetics of the image become essential to support a message. What is better than a video that takes a bold, high profile approach? At Drone-Pictures, this is exactly what we do the best! Do you need quality aerial images to promote a message, a project, a product or an idea? Here are the reasons to call on our company Drone-Pictures, operating in Marseille and throughout Provence.

The Making-Of Video of an Extraordinary Mission

Let’s see how we created the digital twin of a monument as emblematic as Notre-Dame de la Garde in Marseille. In this Making-Of video, we take you behind the scenes of the 3D drone photogrammetry modeling.

We show, step by step, the full process that made this result possible: from high-precision aerial capture by drones, through processing of the 2,463 photos, to 3D modeling and exporting 4K video animations.

The Bonne Mère re-gilded (8K video)

Drone-Pictures has completed an exceptional aerial mission: the 8.1K drone capture of the freshly regilded Virgin and Child statue at Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde in Marseille.

After 10 months of restoration work, La Bonne Mère is shining once again.

We were honored to be the first to film this spectacular result, using our Inspire 3 drone equipped with Prime lenses, just few days after the official inauguration.

This 8K video clip reveals a glimpse of these unique images, captured alongside Marseille-based photographer Jérôme Cabanel, as part of the documentation of this iconic heritage restoration.

Human and technical resources

Professional pilots at your service

Filming a landscape, a building, or an event from above allows you to sublimate a message. The advantage of drones is to achieve beautiful and dynamic aerial views.
This unmanned aircraft, equipped with a camera, is the most efficient and economical way to film from a height of up to 120 m.
But flying a drone is not improvised. Stabilising the device, managing the GPS, piloting with precision and smoothness for perfect images (tracking, panning, vertigo effect...), avoiding obstacles, mastering the various flight operations: all this requires a thorough knowledge of the aircfraft and real dexterity. This is important to make a quality video, but it's also important for the safety of the sites or people in the drone's flight perimeter.
Our pilots are experienced professionals. They are certified to fly drones. In addition, we are registered as a drone operator with the DGAC and are covered by professional liability insurance.

Professional quality drones

Taking aerial shots such as video from a helicopter or plane is expensive. Drones make it possible to film at an affordable price. In addition, some images are not feasible from an airplane, such as going under a bridge or getting very close to the subject. However, buying a quality drone can be quite expensive. And how do you know which drone to buy?
At Drone-Pictures we have a fleet of professional quality drones. As the technology in this field is evolving, we update our fleet with each major tek advance. Drones are perfectly adapted to professional photography and filming. Our UAVs can be adapted to different environments. All our drones are allowed to fly in urban areas in accordance with EU drone rules. Of course, they are also perfect for filming landscapes and are fine to fly in unpopulated areas such as rural zones. So, we will always have the right drone for you!
In addition to the drones, the cameras they carry must be of impeccable quality. We are able to film from simple HD to 8K video with our Zenmuse X9 Air Raw/ProResRaw. Photography is not to be outdone, as we can shoot stills of about 25 to 45 Mpix stills with 4/3rd and full frame sensors.
