Do you have these concerns?

  • I want to request a comprehensive package from drone flight applications, to shooting and editing.

  • I want to request drone shooting and ENG camera shooting as a set.

  •  I want to incorporate a drone into the live broadcast camera.

Three points for successful drone shooting

1.Improving the reliability of shooting by pre-meetings and site inspections

After receiving a job request, we will improve the reliability of shooting by holding thorough pre-meetings and site inspections before the day of shooting.

Workflow

01

Request

Hearing about shooting details and presentation of rough estimate

02

Meeting 1

Confirming shooting method and discussing safety checks

03

Site inspection

Confirming flight route and selecting safe takeoff and landing locations

04

Meeting 2

Deciding on shooting method details and discussing safety checks

05

Estimate

After site inspection; finalize shooting details and present estimate

06

Flight application

Necessary permission application procedures based on the Aviation Act

07

Shooting

Taking weather conditions into account while shooting and implementing safety management

2.Thorough compliance with laws and regulations

Drone filming is subject to various regulations, including the Aviation Act; and compliance with these is an absolute requirement. Our company has pilots who hold the second-class unmanned aircraft pilot license, which is the national qualification required to fly drones. In addition, all drones owned by our company are registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and flights are conducted in compliance with existing laws and regulations. On the day of filming, a safety manager will be assigned to thoroughly check the weather conditions and the safety of the surrounding environment, ensuring safe filming without accidents.

3. Creative video expression

Shooting planning that takes advantage of the unique characteristics of drones is important. For example, drones can be used to create revealing shots that rise gradually from the ground, orbit shots that circle the subject, and dynamic tracking shots, which are not possible with normal cameras. However, rather than simply pursuing flashy movements, it is necessary to shoot with a purpose that fits the context of the entire work. The pilots who operate our drones also work as ENG cameramen in the filming and reporting department, so they can take advantage of their extensive video knowledge when filming.

Features of fmt

1.Drone filming by cameramen

The pilots who film with drones are also ENG cameramen in the filming and reporting department, and have a wealth of knowledge about video.

2.Various applications related to drone flight

We can smoothly proceed with various applications related to drone flight - which can normally be time consuming - by utilizing our comprehensive application procedure. In addition, even if flight with a comprehensive application is not possible due to the conditions of the flight site, we will apply for individual permission. We have a successful track record of obtaining authorization for flying above events.

3. Combination with ENG filming is also possible

The pilots belong to the department that usually handles ENG filming, so filming can be done by combining ENG cameras and drones from the ground. By working with members of the same department, filming can be done in cooperation with each other.

4.Drone footage can be provided for live streaming

By outputting the video signal monitored on the ground while the drone is flying, it is possible to live stream the footage filmed by the drone.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

We accept orders from ¥150,000 (excluding tax). The cost is dependent on various factors such as flight conditions and application method, so please feel free to contact us.

Do I need to apply for a drone flight?

Drone photography is subject to various regulations including the Aviation Act. In addition, permission must be obtained from the owner or manager of the land where the photography will be done. Our company can handle all of this in one go.

How long does it take to apply?

It depends on the difficulty of the application, but we recommend that you contact us about one and a half months before the planned flight date. Since we have obtained comprehensive applications, if you are in a hurry and have little time before the flight, we will do our best to accommodate you, so please contact us first.

However, due to regulations concerning flights, "at altitudes of 150m or higher," "in the airspace around airports," or, "over densely populated areas," it may not be possible to fly with a blanket application. In those cases the application process may take anywhere from one to three months.
