Drone shooting has officially taken off. Drone aerials are becoming a standard item on video shot lists as the technology has become cheap enough and good enough to provide a 'wow' factor to productions in the Toronto area of small and large budgets alike.
But a lot of drone shooting is done illegally… Of course that doesn't make the photography any less impressive, it just means that video production in Toronto is often flying under the radar and can sometimes spell liability disaster for production companies and clients. Operating a drone well takes skill, and skilled operators get the best shots when they can rehearse and shoot multiple takes. This means having a permit and knowing what you're doing, not just to keep people and property safe, but to get the most impressive, most 'wow' drone technology can offer.
Video services companies in Toronto need to follow Transport Canada's guidelines, and if the drone operators do so, chances are the operators know what they are doing and that skill and knowledge will translate into impressive video results. Alive Motion Pictures can help navigate these new, sometime confusing regulations for video production services in the Greater Toronto Area.
