Whirlybird Pictures is an aerial filming, time-lapse and stills company based in NW London.
Founded by Dan Roe, a fully qualified UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) pilot with CAA permission for aerial work and plenty of experience of film, TV and recreational RC flying.
We use state of the art remotely piloted multi-rotor copters to achieve stunning low altitude footage and stills for a huge variety of applications ranging from roof surveys to car commercials to weddings.
Our specialist area is ultra portable ultra high definition machines that are capable of being set up at a multitude of locations in a matter of minutes. With the added benefit of being immediately deployable in congested areas without advance CAA permission, provided certain rules are followed.
The beauty of this cutting edge technology is its ability to often substitute for potentially far more expensive ways of capturing similarly dynamic images.
Whether it's replacing a helicopter for shooting snowboarders in the Alps, doing the job of a jib to film an exterior of a property or standing in for a camera car to capture a chase scene, Whirlybird Pictures could achieve all this in the space of a single day.
Whirlybird Pictures can work solo for many projects to keep costs down but complex shots require a dedicated camera operator to concentrate on getting the best images possible.
We will supply an operator or can work with the client and use existing camera crew if available.
We can shoot in full 4k and take 16Mp stills.
We carry enough batterries to more or less roll constantly and can recharge where there is no power by using our portable generator.
We can hand over the results on the day or edit a complete film for you.
Whirlybird Picures is fully insured with 5m of public liability.
