Project Overview

Client Type: Private Client
Location: Blackpool, UK

Deliverables: 4K Cinematic Drone Footage & HDR Photos

Challenges

Busy urban environment:
Operating near iconic landmarks in an active city centre required precise flight planning and rigorous risk assessment.

​

Public interest and distraction:
High footfall and public attention during filming introduced additional safety and operational considerations.

​

Airspace complexity:
Proximity to local flight restrictions and tourist attractions necessitated airspace awareness and strong local authority coordination.

Our Approach

Pre-flight coordination with authorities:
We liaised with Blackpool Council and local authorities ahead of the shoot. Our strong working relationship helped streamline the permissions and notification process.

​

Onsite safety management:
Our crew conducted pre-flight briefings and implemented ground-based safety measures to manage public engagement and ensure a secure flight area and Line-Of-Sight, even with busy foot traffic.

Using our cinema-grade drone platform, we captured a range of sweeping, cinematic shots of Blackpool Tower and the Fylde coastline - timed at sunrise to leverage cinematic light and avoid peak footfall.
