FPV filming.
Your vision in motion.

I'm Jimmy. I fly FPV for films, brands, action, and spaces—bringing the camera into the scene and the viewer along for the ride.

Work directly with your pilot. Every shoot quoted to fit.

FPV cinematography

Movement that serves the story.

FPV—first-person-view drone filming—can follow a subject, reveal a landscape, or connect spaces in one flowing shot. The pace, route, and framing start with what you want your audience to see.

  • Cinema & production

    Establish a world, build a transition, or put the audience inside a scene. Bring your director's brief or shot list; I'll work with your team on the FPV sequence and footage handoff.

  • Brands & commercials

    Give a business, product setting, or campaign a distinct sense of place. Plan reveals and moving perspectives for brand films, advertisements, and social video.

  • Action & movement

    Follow the energy of a subject with a planned tracking shot or creative sequence. We'll work through the movement, spacing, and location together.

  • Venues & experiences

    Show how a place feels, from the approach to the spaces within it. Fly-through concepts for businesses, venues, hospitality, and properties are planned around the location and access.

A pilot you can talk to

Your crew. Or your first video.

You don't need a finished creative brief to start. I can join an existing production or help turn an early idea into a shoot plan.

For production teams

FPV piloting that fits your shot list and production schedule. We agree on the camera requirements, flight plan, and footage delivery before the shoot.

Need supporting videography or a camera operator? Include that in the brief.

For businesses & creators

Start with what you're promoting and where the video will run. We'll define the shots and discuss editing, formats, and delivery as part of your quote.

One location, a launch, or a bigger idea—let's scope it together.

From idea to footage

A clear plan before takeoff.

Every location and production is different. Pricing reflects the filming time, preparation, travel, and deliverables your project needs.

  1. Tell me about the shot

    A location, rough timing, and a few words about the idea are enough to start. References and a target budget are helpful if you have them.

  2. Plan it together

    We work through the route, subject movement, site access, and flight suitability. You'll get an agreed scope and price before booking.

  3. Film with the edit in mind

    We confirm the shoot plan and delivery requirements so the footage has a clear place in your project. Outdoor filming is scheduled around suitable conditions.
