Common Mistakes To Avoid When Hiring A Drone Video Production Florida Keys Company

By Deborah Cole


Drones are the new craze in video production but it takes a while to get a guarantee for quality. In the excitement to have a producer use a drone for an event, many clients end up making disappointing mistakes. Here are pitfalls to avoid when hiring a Drone Video Production Florida Keys company.

Refusal to ask for professional training details. Videos require special skills that can only be learnt in school. Training also applies to the manipulation of drones. The absence of skills means that the shots, framing, angles and such other elements will be based on trial and error. You end up with poor quality clips that affect the final film.

Hiring a company without a license, especially one to operate drones is a huge mistake. A lot of restrictions are in place for commercial use of drones because of privacy. Hire professionals who understand these laws and will not get you into trouble. They must also have the license to shoot videos in different locations.

Refusal to scrutinize the technology that the company is using. Quality videos come from cameras and drones that are using the latest technology. Software used in capturing and editing the videos must be the latest in the market. It enables the technicians to make better shots and also take advantage of lighting, different angles, zooming and framing, among other elements. A firm that invests in technology shows that it is ready to deliver quality work.

Assuming that you do not require experienced technicians and firms. Each event is different but the cameras and dynamics of production will rely on experience. Amateurs might fail to pay attention to quality of clips, framing and angles of shots. Other technicians skip parts of the event. You end up with a video that does not capture your expectations.

Failure to demand creative video operators. Whether your film will be captivating or not will depend on the creativity of persons capturing the clips. They should understand how to frame characters, use different angles and play with lighting, among other elements in a creative manner. If their raw materials are captivating, the ultimate video will also be interesting to watch.

Failure to ask for references will be an expensive oversight. Talk to other clients who have worked with the production company. See their videos and determine whether it is the quality you would desire. Past clients will also tell you of the quality of services they received.

Taking quotations without customization. Each project is unique in terms of skills, time, location and editing requirements. Demand an itemized and personalized quotation. It will reflect the type and quality of services you are getting from the company.

Working with a single quotation. It is always safer to compare quotations by different companies. Different quotations help you determine the prevailing market price for such a project. It will also help you choose the company that is offering the best value for money. You have a full idea of what to expect from each company.

Do not assume the skills of the editor who will finalize your work. Choose an experienced professional whose videos are quality. Above all, engage a professional company providing a holistic package.
