Most drone companies are one pilot and a marketing site. Productions find out which is which on the day.
Georgia's volume means a drone company here has to handle several shows at once without degrading any of them, and has to move between the city, Fayette County and the studio campuses — each with its own permitting — without the production noticing the seams.
CineDrones has been a working aerial department since 2013, with the depth to put multiple units on a show and the insurance and permitting infrastructure a studio production office needs before it can hire you at all. We handle it end to end: airspace authorization, permits, the shoot itself, and delivery in whatever format post is expecting.
The Georgia Film Office coordinates statewide, and individual jurisdictions across the metro each run their own permit process. A production moving between the city, Fayette County and the studio campuses is moving between permitting authorities.
Atlanta sits under Hartsfield-Jackson, the busiest airport on earth, and its Class B shelf reaches across most of the metro. LAANC coverage is good here, but the ceilings are real and the traffic underneath them is constant. Suburban production country to the south sits closer to the approach paths than most crews expect.
We shoot the downtown skyline, the studio campuses, and the Georgia countryside — and we travel. CineDrones works nationwide, so if your production is basing in Atlanta and shooting somewhere else entirely, that is a normal week for us.
