Drone Lockoffs and Ground Management
In the last few years, we have helped Productions, Location Departments and Drone companies to safely film spectacular shots with securing the flight zone beneath the path of the drone. We assisted with the first permitted drone shoot in Westminster last year through Leicester Square and liaised with the location department and the drone team to implement safe take off and landing zones as well as an emergency procedure document in case of any emergencies.
We use the Film Security team to lock off positions to keep the public at a safe distance as well as the Traffic Management to control the traffic, the filming area is locked off for the time it takes the drone to take off and land safely. The Lock off requires each of the specific points to call out that they are locked over the radio and the lock off coordinator will inform the drone pilot and first AD that it is safe to shoot.
