Please contact us to discuss how we can assist you with your production.
COVID-19 update
Do you want to shoot in New Zealand ?
Do you need to produce remotely… from within New Zealand, or from overseas ?
Do you need background plates ?
We can work independently.
Small, multi-tasking aerial crews are efficient and safer.
We can shoot with an aerial crew of just two: pilot and operator.
Aeroptics’ operator can rig, shoot, tech, self-direct, data wrangle and maintain & develop the systems.
Aeroptics’ vehicle-based filming team is in-house: camera-operator and vehicle driver.
You choose:
you can send a director…
or you can email a storyboard/shot-list ☺
Need a LARGER crew?
The Queenstown/Central Otago region has a comprehensive range of film crew and equipment with years of experience and knowledge about filming in New Zealand.
Just a phone call away…
To DRONE… OR NOT TO DRONE…
That is the question…
Do you need your aerial shots to maintain the same cinematic style as the rest of the production?
Helicopter aerials can provide wide, mid, tele and zooms…even close-ups… all within the same flight.
Aeroptics’ 46x and other lenses have the complete range of aerial-cinematography options.
With a skilled and experienced long-lens operator you can get rock-steady shots of wild-life from a helicopter without disturbing their natural behaviour. Watch
Using zoom and the movement of the helicopter you can achieve ‘story’ within a single shot.
A helicopter can get you to remote locations quickly and can fly in most weather conditions.
