If your show is union, your aerial unit has to be too. That is not a preference, it is a condition of hiring.
Louisiana's incentive program pulls union features and series, and Second Line Stages anchors a market that crews professionally. We supply Local 600 aerial crews for New Orleans productions.
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.
Louisiana's incentive built and kept a professional crew base here, and Second Line Stages anchors it. The market is smaller than Atlanta's but the people are experienced and the rates are reasonable.
Louisiana's incentive program built a real crew base here, and Second Line Stages anchors it. Productions come for a look that cannot be faked anywhere else, which puts a premium on aerial work that actually uses the geography.
We shoot the French Quarter, the river, the bayou, and the Garden District — and we travel. CineDrones works nationwide, so if your production is basing in New Orleans and shooting somewhere else entirely, that is a normal week for us.
