Common Mistakes To Avoid When Hiring A Drone Video Production Florida Keys Company

By Deborah Cole


Drones are the new craze in video production but it takes a while to get a guarantee for quality. In the excitement to have a producer use a drone for an event, many clients end up making disappointing mistakes. Here are pitfalls to avoid when hiring a Drone Video Production Florida Keys company.

Ignoring the need for professional training and certification. The best videos require professional input so that they are standardized. You should also ensure that the technicians have trained on how to handle drones. It would be unfortunate to trust your project to amateurs who are trying out their luck with drones. The results would be disastrous.

Failure to ask for a license from the company and technicians. Drones and video shooting are highly regulated activities because of privacy. The firm hired must prove that it has the permits and licenses to shoot in the area as well as use drones. Lack of permits and licenses will cause legal problems for intruding on the privacy of other people.

Refusal to scrutinize the technology that the company is using. Quality videos come from cameras and drones that are using the latest technology. Software used in capturing and editing the videos must be the latest in the market. It enables the technicians to make better shots and also take advantage of lighting, different angles, zooming and framing, among other elements. A firm that invests in technology shows that it is ready to deliver quality work.

Assuming that you do not require experienced technicians and firms. Each event is different but the cameras and dynamics of production will rely on experience. Amateurs might fail to pay attention to quality of clips, framing and angles of shots. Other technicians skip parts of the event. You end up with a video that does not capture your expectations.

Failure to demand creative video operators. Whether your film will be captivating or not will depend on the creativity of persons capturing the clips. They should understand how to frame characters, use different angles and play with lighting, among other elements in a creative manner. If their raw materials are captivating, the ultimate video will also be interesting to watch.

Failure to ask for references will be an expensive oversight. Talk to other clients who have worked with the production company. See their videos and determine whether it is the quality you would desire. Past clients will also tell you of the quality of services they received.

Failing to get a customized package will cause you to pay more. The quotation should further be itemized to give you an idea of what you are paying for. It helps you determine whether you are getting value for money.

Sticking to a single quotation limits your options. Request several companies to provide estimates that will guide your decision making. Compare the quality of their work and decide who will deliver the best value for money at the most reasonable price.

Do not assume the skills of the editor who will finalize your work. Choose an experienced professional whose videos are quality. Above all, engage a professional company providing a holistic package.
