Production of drone aerial film & photos in Israel

We are very proud of the aerial filming projects we have completed over the last years. 

Primarily developed for military uses, camera-carrying drones have been introduced to the professional video industry in the last three years. We have been there from the start, testing, experimenting, filming and learning how to do it better. Now, in summer 2013, we have impressive show reels filmed by various drones, and our extensive work load allows us to get better results for reasonable costs. We work witht he best cutting edge technologis and the leading professionals in Israel in order to bring the best of these exciting tools. 

Drones are also known as UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), hexacopters, quadcopters, octocopters - pending on the number of rotors they use. They are the perfect solution for news, documentary and corporate shoots: filming with drones allow us to take shots no helicopter or airplane can take: vertical lift from the ground to 1,000 ft., descending from the sky to the ground, sweeping dolly movements, seen as if the camera is rolling on virtual tracks...

The unmanned aerial vehicles we use are equipped with full HD DSLR and provide excellent HD footage. They can fly and film at any altitude, from 4 ft. to 3,000 ft.  HD Footage is recorded on storage cards and can be viewed online on a ground monitor. The results are spectacular.

Here is our showreel of footage taken by a stabilized Canon 5D camera:

In the last three years we have produced medical videos in Israel: We are now completing a third series of more than 30 medical information videos in Hebrew and Russian, following a production of instruction videos intended for preparation to medical procedures - our Corporate Video Gallery.

 

Highlight Films production team has experience producing videos for the unique needs of the medical and scientific community. We do it for various customers, including physician and patient training and education, presentations to the board and investors, marketing and public relations videos. 

 

Our producers and camera crews have created health and medical videos for many medical organizations and companies, in order to educate patients, doctors and other medical staff about procedures and products, streamline treatment & recovery and improving satisfaction with the results.

Aerial filming for corporate video stills & video in Israel

 

Filming from the air is complicated, costly and often given to circumstances beyond our control - heat, wind, haze, dust to mention a few of them. Our answer to these challenges is our Experience: years of experience in producing aerial productions in Israel. 

 

We have executed aerial shoots of any kind in Israel - for feature films, news reports, documentary films, and mainly for corporate, marketing and sales videos. We film for commercial and public organizations in Israel on a monthly basis, and we produced aerial shoots in Israel for our American, Canadian, French, German, British and Japanese customers. Our aerial production team is ready to take any professional challenge, like we did with the filming of Jerusalem 3D IMAX in 2011: It was the first time a professional IMAX SPACECAM camera set was shipped to Israel, The camera was carried by a twin engine helicopter, with great success. 

 

The corporate video market is one of the rapidly developing markets in the last few years. The developments in the technology of UFOs (unmanned flying objects) and the declassification of former military technologies for civilian uses have turned the UFO or drone into an accessible mean to get the best visual impact of a project, a process, or a company.

There are two traditional ways of taking professional aerial shots and stills: filming from a light airplane and filming from a helicopter. There is also a new kid in town: the drone.
 

Primarily developed for military uses, camera-carrying drones have been introduced to the professional video industry in the last three years. We have been there from the start, testing, experimenting, filming and learning how to do it better. Now, in 2013, we have impressive show reel filmed by various drones, and our extensive work load allows us to get better results for reasonable costs. 

 

We use various drones, pending on the project we film: hexacopters, quadcopters, octocopters - they are the perfect solution for corporate shoots: filming with drones allow us to take shots no helicopter or airplane can take: vertical lift from the ground to 1,000 ft., descending from the sky to the ground, sweeping dolly movements, seen as if the camera is rolling on virtual tracks...

We would be glad to advise you about the production of aerial filming for a corporate video or a presentation.
