If your show is union, your aerial unit has to be too. That is not a preference, it is a condition of hiring.
Miami runs a large non-union commercial and music video market alongside union scripted work and a growing volume of Spanish-language production. We crew both, which matters here more than in markets that lean one way.
CineDrones supplies Local 600 crews for union productions and non-union crews where the show allows it. We know how the aerial unit fits into the camera department on a union call sheet, how the day is accounted for, and what production accounting needs from us. It is the least glamorous part of the job and the part that most often decides whether a vendor gets hired twice.
Miami crews work fast and book late, matching a market driven by commercials, music videos and fashion. The bilingual crew base is a real asset for the volume of Spanish-language production shooting here.
Miami runs on commercials, music videos, fashion and an increasing volume of Spanish-language production, alongside features that come for the look. Turnarounds are short and clients expect an aerial unit that can move at that speed.
We shoot South Beach, the causeways, Brickell, and the water — and we travel. CineDrones works nationwide, so if your production is basing in Miami and shooting somewhere else entirely, that is a normal week for us.
