Aerial footage when it truly adds something.
Aerial views are powerful — but only when they are used at the right time, for the right reason. La Pixellerie treats drone images as a complement to your story, not as an end in themselves.
Serving the story, not the gadget
Drone shots are inserted where they actually help: understanding a site, a route, a geography, or the scale of a project. If they don’t add information, we simply don’t use them.
- aerial establishing shots of venues and cities
- top views of routes, infrastructures or landscapes
- integration into existing edits and corporate films
Consistency with ground footage
Drone footage is graded and framed to match your other images, so the viewer feels a single, continuous film, not a patchwork of mismatched clips.
- colour grading consistent with your main cameras
- movement that remains calm and watchable
- no dizzying spins or gimmicks
Regulations & safety
The French Riviera is a complex environment for drones: coastal zones, ports, dense urban areas, heliports, protected sites. Each flight is prepared accordingly.
- compliance with local and national regulations
- particular care near hotels, institutions and private venues
- coordination with your security team when needed
Typical use cases
In practice, aerial footage is often used to:
- introduce the location of an event or campus,
- show the layout of a site or infrastructure,
- highlight the environment of a project (sea, city, landscape),
- provide key shots for recap films of major events.
