Photography, video and mapping from the air
Aerial photography
Still images that show a place at its full scale: buildings, campuses, infrastructure and open land. Use them in proposals, reports, websites and press materials.
- Marketing and press imagery
- Site and property documentation
- Before-and-after progress stills
Drone video
Cinematic aerial footage shot and edited by a team that makes video for a living. Run it on its own, or cut it into a larger story: a fundraising film, a project showcase, a company overview.
- Standalone aerial reels
- Aerial footage for brand, fundraising and corporate films
- Milestone and completion videos
Orthomosaic and 3D mapping
Overlapping drone photos become one accurate, top-down map of your site, plus a 3D model you can explore and measure.

- 3D models of terrain and structures
- Repeat flights to compare progress
Orthomosaic and 3D mapping
A drone can capture an entire site in a single flight. We turn those photos into maps and models your team can work from. Select each stage to see how.
The drone flies a planned grid over the site and captures photos that overlap on every side.
Software stitches the photos into one top-down map, corrected for perspective and terrain. It looks like a photograph and works like a plan.
The same photos build a 3D model of the terrain and structures, so teams can review conditions from any angle without walking the site.
Repeat flights show what changed from one visit to the next.
Comfortable on active job sites
Construction schedules move quickly and conditions change daily. We plan flights around your team, coordinate with site staff, and deliver what the project needs.
-
Progress documentation
Aerial photo and video updates that show the whole site at each stage.
-
Planning and coordination
Overviews and maps that help teams talk through logistics, access and sequencing.
-
Measurement and review
Orthomosaic maps and 3D models for reviewing conditions and tracking change.
-
Milestone and completion video
Cinematic footage for owners, stakeholders and the public, produced by our video team.
Work for LA Metro
Progress videos we produced for LA Metro in 2023.
Currently in progress
We're mapping Metro's East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor, flying regular orthomosaic and 3D capture as construction moves forward.
