Drone filming can add aerial views to corporate videos, commercials, documentaries and other productions in China. Shoot In China provides bilingual production support to help clients discuss the filming locations, shot list, crew and camera requirements for a proposed aerial shoot.
Aerial Cinematography in China
Based in Shanghai since 2012, our English-Chinese production team supports clients through the planning and filming process. Aerial footage should serve the story and fit the production brief, whether it is used to establish a location, show the scale of a site or provide a different visual perspective.
Drone Pilots and Shoot Planning
Pilot experience, credentials and any permissions needed should be checked for the specific project and location. Do not assume that permission for one shoot applies to another location or date. Share the proposed filming area and schedule early so the team can confirm what support is suitable for the shoot.
Drone Platforms and Camera Requirements
Options such as the DJI Inspire 3 and Mavic 3 Pro Cine can be discussed during planning. The Inspire 3 uses the Zenmuse X9-8K Air camera. Aircraft, lenses, recording formats and availability should be confirmed against the actual brief before booking. Specialist heavy-lift or cable-camera requirements should be discussed separately.
Projects and Applications
Aerial filming can be considered for commercials, corporate videos, property films and other visual productions. Include the intended use of the footage, the required camera movement and any reference shots when requesting support. Specialist surveying or inspection work should be scoped separately rather than assumed to be included in a filmmaking brief.
Planning Your Aerial Footage
A clear shot list helps establish whether drone footage is suitable for the scene and how it will fit the edit. Useful details include the exact location, filming dates, preferred time of day, desired shot type, required resolution and delivery deadline. Weather, access and location conditions should be considered in the production schedule.
