Urban Angles: Drone Video
Adding drone footage to any video product is a proven way to heighten a property's impact — aerial movement gives buyers a better understanding of scale and location than ground-level footage alone, and instantly lifts the production value of a campaign film.
How drone video is used
- Added to Showcase and Prestige videos — flyovers and establishing shots woven into the property film
- Bespoke aerial footage in custom productions — flown to a storyboard, including feature filming and various flyover patterns with sound design
- FPV capture — dynamic fly-through footage where the brief calls for movement through and around a property
- Development and estate films — tracking construction progress and showing masterplan scale
Where aerial footage earns its place
| Property | What the aerial proves |
|---|---|
| Waterfront or view property | The outlook, in one continuous move |
| Acreage and land | Boundaries, contour and scale |
| Estate or development | Masterplan layout and stage progress |
| Display village | The village in its estate context |
| Urban apartment | Precinct, transport and amenity proximity |
| Industrial site | Access, hardstand and surrounding road network |
On a compact inner-city listing with no outlook, drone often adds cost without adding an argument — the Customer Experience team will say so rather than sell it.
Safety and airspace
Flights are conducted by operating partners working within CASA guidelines and designated safe fly zones. Some locations require formal permission to fly, and some cannot be flown at all; known restrictions are flagged before the shoot, and any identified on site are communicated immediately.
Feedback and delivery
Like all Urban Angles video, drafts are reviewed via timestamped Vimeo review links. Draft supply and finals follow the standard video schedule for the product the footage belongs to.
How it is priced
Drone video is ordered as an addition to a video product rather than as a standalone film, so it prices against the production it supports — and, like drone stills, at a reduced rate when the campaign already includes Base Photography. Bespoke storyboarded aerial in a custom production is quoted with the treatment.
Who it's for
Agents adding impact to listing films, builders and developers filming estates and display villages, and agencies producing campaign and brand work.
Ordering and coverage
Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Adelaide, and Australia-wide on request — subject to airspace at the address. Add drone to any video product in DREAM or call 1300 144 255.
