Stills carry different requirements than motion — resolution, latitude, and the patience to wait out the light.
Aerial stills across the Wasatch Front, the salt flats and the canyons, for tourism, outdoor brands and development. Winter light here is exceptional and the flying conditions are the hardest of the year, which is the trade-off every shoot makes.
Aerial stills for key art, campaigns, editorial, architecture and listings. We shoot raw, deliver graded or flat depending on what your retoucher wants, and we plan around the sun rather than around the schedule where the schedule allows it. The same certification and insurance apply as on any motion job, because the airspace does not care what you are capturing.
Winter gives the most dramatic imagery and the hardest flying — cold cuts endurance, and canyon conditions change with elevation on the same day. Summer opens the backcountry but brings heat and density altitude at elevation.
Salt Lake City International sets Class B over the valley, and terrain does the rest. Mountain flying brings density altitude, sudden wind and canyon effects that meaningfully change what a drone can lift and how long it can stay up. This is the market where aircraft selection matters most.
We shoot the Wasatch range, the salt flats, the canyons, and the valley — and we travel. CineDrones works nationwide, so if your production is basing in Salt Lake City and shooting somewhere else entirely, that is a normal week for us.
