Why choose Jolley Productions for your event’s aerial shots

Specialist event drone expertise

We’ve delivered aerial coverage for indoor and outdoor conferences, live performances, sporting events, hospitality activations and corporate gatherings. That depth of experience means we anticipate logistical challenges, coordinate smoothly with event managers and capture meaningful, bankable footage that reflects the scale and energy of your event.

Fully licensed, insured and compliant

Safety and legality are non-negotiable. Our pilots are CAA-qualified for commercial operations and fully insured. Flight planning, site-specific risk assessments and required permissions are handled as standard, ensuring professional, compliant event drone operations.

Cinematic storytelling with commercial impact

Not only do we record aerial footage, but we also create narrative-driven sequences using precise framing, controlled movement and creative angles. The result is content that looks cinematic while also supporting commercial goals such as ticket sales, sponsor visibility and attendee engagement.

Integrated drone, photo and video solutions

Alongside aerial capture, we provide ground-based video and photography. This integrated approach ensures consistent visuals across highlight reels, promotional content, sponsor assets, social media and internal communications — ideal for marketing campaigns and press coverage.

Planning-led, end-to-end delivery

From permissions and piloting through to post-production and final delivery, we manage the entire process. We’ve worked with large organisations and agencies, supporting structured approvals, tight deadlines and stakeholder reporting requirements. We liaise with organisers, safety officers and production teams to ensure filming remains seamless, unobtrusive and professionally managed.

Our process

A straightforward process for event organisers

Brief and site review

Tell us about your event type, key moments and required deliverables. We assess the venue, surrounding airspace and crowd dynamics, advising whether drone operations are feasible and appropriate.

Flight planning, site-specific risk assessments and permission requests are included in our quotes. For events in controlled or restricted airspace, we manage CAA notifications and liaise with local authorities.

Step 3

On-site operations

Our pilots arrive fully equipped and operate under strict safety procedures. We integrate with production teams, AV suppliers and safety officers to minimise disruption and comply with event regulations.

Step 4

Post-production and delivery

We edit, colour grade and optimise files for web, broadcast or social media. Revisions are included to ensure alignment with your brand messaging. Rush delivery options are available for next-day highlights and promotional releases.

Our drone packages

We create tailored drone videography packages to suit event goals and budgets. Typical options include:

    Social Starter: 30–60 second highlight reel, 5–10 edited aerial photos and rapid turnaround for social platforms.

    Premium Highlights: 90–180 second edited film combining aerial and ground event videography, full colour grade and 20+ high-resolution images.

    Full Coverage: Multi-camera capture, extended edits, speaker-specific clips, gimbal-stabilised ground inserts and all raw aerial footage supplied on request.

Every package includes pre-shoot planning, site risk assessment and assistance obtaining relevant permissions. For large-scale events, we can provide additional pilots and a dedicated production coordinator.

Practical considerations for events

    Permissions: Outdoor events typically require landowner consent and may require CAA notification depending on airspace classification and crowd density.

    Safety: A site-specific risk assessment is conducted in coordination with on-site safety personnel. Drone operations are paused immediately if conditions become unsafe.

    Noise and disruption: Modern drones are quieter than older models. We plan flight paths and altitudes carefully to reduce disruption to speakers and performers.

    Indoor flights: Indoor drone videography may be possible with appropriate safety measures and venue approval. We will advise whether indoor aerial capture is suitable for your event.

Our drone footage can be combined with ground-based filming and photography, giving you a cohesive, multi-angle final production.
