AERIAL
FILMING & PHOTOGRAPHY
We've been creating stunning aerial imagery for TV, films, brands, and businesses since 2015. We hold a CAA Operational Authorisation for commercial drone work throughout the UK, and we also hold the EASA A1/A3 & A2 Certificate of Competency which allows us to fly drones in any EU country and certain non-EU countries such as Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland.
CINEMATIC VIDEO & PHOTO
We utilise the very latest in drone technology to produce stunning videography and photography, befitting your audience, brand, and objectives. We’ll work closely alongside you to ensure that every frame tells your story.
CASE STUDY
BURBERRY
We were asked by black rock creative to liaise with Screen Manchester in order to gain the required permissions and undertake some aerial filming in Manchester city centre. Clothing brand Burberry had tasked us to create video content of a mural they had commissioned for their social media channels.
Aerial filming in Manchester city centre is something we do on a fairly regular basis, and we’ve built a good relationship with screen Manchester over the years. After some to and fro’ing we got permission to fly both our Inspire 2 and our Mavic 2 Pro directly over the Northern Quarter. Alongside Tom from Black Rock Creative we shot the ad over 4 days, with aerial and ground-based videos being shot at each stage of the painting process.
CGI VISUALISATIONS
We love nothing more than the coming together of two giants of the tech world: drones and CGI. We can take aerial images of existing structures, and then help you overlay a CGI 3D visualisation – perfect for those in property, architecture, or construction.

TESTIMONIALS
BBC STUDIOS
"Adam and his team did an incredible job on our project and I really couldn’t recommend them enough. Their pre-shoot communication was great, and they went above and beyond in all aspects of the job, producing some stunning final results. Will definitely be hiring these guys again in the future."
Aretha Holmes
AO.com
"Adam at Rotor was hired to provide aerial footage for AO.com and the opening of our new warehouses and he delivered a hugely professional and creative service. Flying indoors in warehouses and outdoors, Adam made everyone aware of the risks and had a huge input into the shots required. Would highly recommend and we will use Adam again. You should too."
Jay Whittaker

"Working with Adam was an absolute joy. From our first enquiry through to wrap on the day, Adam was always quick to respond and was helpful, informative and accommodating every step of the way. I highly recommend Rotor Aerial Cinematography and will certainly be looking to work with them again in future."

"Rotor provided aerial footage for a promotional video our team put together in August. Adam was quick to grasp what we were after and produced some fantastic footage which we'll be using for some time! Highly recommended."
Mike Prescott

"Adam has an eye for perfection and whereas it might seem easy to pilot a drone, it is in fact a cinematic art as well as a highly technical skill. You need to be good at it in our business. That's why Adam is someone we see and regard as a competent and accomplished broadcast professional, and someone we can rely on time after time to deliver stunning aerial shots."

The stills and VT were of superb quality and exactly what we asked for delivered in super quick time due to us changing our deadline last minute. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them."
