PRICING

How much does it cost?

For five little words, this is a very difficult question to answer.  Every job is different and has many unique variable factors to consider, such as: area size, resolution, processing, permits, authorization, travel distance, raw images vs full video production, etc. Therefore, I prefer to price each operation individually.
That said, as a gideline billing is based on $150 to start and $150 /hour there after.  I will work with you through out the shoot to get the images you are looking for.  After filmng you will recieve all of the raw images in a digital format to use as you see fit
Post production is time consuming, but it is where the magic happens!  My general charge is $2.50 per second of the finished video, but that could vary based on the complexity of the effects, animations and sound.  You'll know ahead of time what the costs will be.

Testimonials

I recently worked with Art on a drone video project and everything was 1st class from the time we started until the finished video---which was just spectacular and included perfect video editing including gentle fades, scene transitions, a great musical selection, and descriptive graphics that were perfectly timed and placed.

Art's exceptional depth of knowledge and experience as a full-scale pilot really comes thru in his drone piloting & videography which is so precise and exacting yet flows like a gentle aerial ballet. The video that Bird's Eye Drone Imaging produced for me was literally breathtaking and everyone who has seen it is completely amazed.

Thank you Art for some incredible work!!!

Art was an absolute pleasure to work with! He is friendly, flexible, and creative enough to provide multiple ideas and options for those of us who do not share his artistic talents.

DJI Inspire 2ALT NAME

                                                                                                                                       
All Drones currently flown at Bird's Eye Drone Imaging, LLC are from DJI and include both the
Inspire 2 and Phantom 3 Professional Drones.  We recently also added the new DJI Osmo camera too!

A few things to keep in mind when thinking of Drone photography are:

  1. Safety - For safety it is not permissible to fly Drones over top of people who are not directly involved in the photo shoot.  When ever groups of people are involved the Drone must film from the side and not directly from above. 
  2. Aircraft - Drones must be kept well away from manned aircraft.  For this reason Drones are not permitted to fly within 5 miles of an airport with an operating control tower such as Hopkins, Burke Lakefront and Akron Canton airports.  Drones are also not permitted to fly within 1 mile of an uncontrolled airport or above 400' above ground.  Waivers can be granted to fly closer than 5 miles to tower controlled airports, but those waivers take about 60 days to get.
  3. Weather - While Drones can take amazingly steady shots even in wind, they do have limits.  Any winds that are gusty and over 20 mph should be avoided as well as rain snow and fog.  Drones do not like water and are not found of cold either.  Most manufactures limit Drones to 32 degrees.
ALT NAME

With the addition of the new DJI Osmo camera we can create Drone like images in areas that would normally be impractical for flying.  The Osmo is gyro stabilized to remove the jerkiness usually associated with handheld video while giving you a truly cinematic feel to the video.  With the use of a telescopic pole the camera can be made to fly through out and interior space.  The Osmo can also be used for very precise panoramic stills. 

When mounted on a tripod the Osmo camera can be remotely controlled to accurately sweep 360 degrees without catching the photographer in the shot.  The Osmo can also capture slow motion video at 120 frames per second and time lapse video as slow as 1 frame per second.
