How do you protect privacy

Accepted Answer

It's our duty to protect anyone and everyone without consent from our photography and video capture, so we take all precautions to stop this at the initial stage of recording. 
 
If after this, anyone who's not meant to be there, is - it's a very easy task for us to hide or blur the identity or edit them out of the shot altogether.

What are Reels?

Reels are the Ratios (Size Formats) in which sites like YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook use to display their photography and videos (This is often but not limited to Phone or Tablet size)  - This needs to be taken into account before any photography or filming to end up with the highest quality end product.

What is Editing?

This is the process we go through with all of the content we capture from the day if you've chosen this service to be included. It can be quite a lengthy process, often upto 2 or 3 times as long as the time we are Aerial, but it's something we love to do and the results speak for themselves.
 
We use top of the range editing software to customise every moment captured at a greater level, to tailor it to your needs.
 
Imagine how a movie is made and put together, clipped scenes for effect, lighting to reflect the mood, added music, effects and so on, all to create atmosphere, intrigue... A visceral story without words - All this taken into account before we ever leave the ground.
