Importance of Color Grading when choosing a Drone Services Company in Nashville, TN

Nashville Drone Co prioritizes color grading to create engaging drone videos.

In the realm of visual storytelling, the power of color cannot be overstated. When it comes to aerial footage captured by drones, color grading is a critical element that transforms raw footage into a captivating visual masterpiece. If you're in the Nashville, TN area (Brentwood TN, Franklin TN, Spring Hill TN, Columbia TN, Nolansville TN, Murfreesboro TN, Mt Juliet TN), and looking to hire a drone services company, understanding the importance of color grading should be essential in making your choice. While there are many drone services companies in the Nashville TN area, few understand the importance of color grading. Nashville Drone Co understands color grading is key to creating engaging video and photos. Prioritizing color grading in the editing process is what makes our videos so engaging.

What is Color Grading?

Color grading is the process of adjusting the colors in video footage and photos to achieve a specific look, mood, or tone. It's an art form that requires a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of color theory.

Why Color Grading Matters

Enhancing Visual Appeal

Color grading makes ordinary footage look extraordinary. By adjusting the hues, saturation, and contrast, a skilled colorist can bring out the best in each frame. This enhancement can:

  • Make Colors Pop: Vivid, well-balanced colors can make footage more eye-catching and engaging.

  • Highlight Details: Proper color grading emphasizes important elements in the scene, drawing viewers' attention to key areas.

  • Create Depth: Adjusting shadows and highlights can add dimension and depth to the footage, making it more visually interesting.

By choosing a drone services company with expertise in color grading, you ensure that your video and photos not only look good but also resonates emotionally with your audience. When interviewing drone services companies, ask about their color grading process and what can be expected with their videos and photos.

Nashville Drone Co stands out for its exceptional color grading services. Our portfolio showcases a wide range of projects, each with stunning and professionally graded footage. Whether you need a vibrant promotional video or a moody cinematic piece, Nashville Drone Co can tailor our color grading to perfectly match your vision.

Snow Day at Arrington Vineyards

In the heart of Middle Tennessee's picturesque countryside lies a hidden gem, a vineyard that not only produces exquisite wines but also boasts breathtaking landscapes – Arrington Vineyards. Recently, we had the opportunity to take our filmmaking to new heights, quite literally, as we decided to capture the charm of snow covered Arrington Vineyards using a drone.

Arrington Vineyards, with its rolling hills, lush vineyards, and charming architecture, is a sight to behold from the ground and the recent powdery snow in Middle Tennessee added another level of beauty. However, we yearned to showcase its true grandeur from a perspective seldom seen. Using our DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone, we set out to elevate our storytelling by taking to the skies. The result was a cinematic masterpiece that truly conveyed the romance and allure of Arrington Vineyards during the winter season.

Our drone-filmed footage became more than just a visual documentation of the snow; it became a love letter to Arrington Vineyards. The ability to capture its beauty from above added a layer of depth to our storytelling, allowing us to convey the vineyard's essence in a way that words and traditional footage alone couldn't achieve.

Filming Arrington Vineyards with a drone was a captivating experience that pushed the boundaries of our creative expression. The resulting footage not only showcased the natural beauty of the vineyard but also added a cinematic flair that elevated our storytelling to new heights. As we navigated the skies above Arrington Vineyards, we couldn't help but marvel at the magic that unfolds when technology and nature come together in perfect harmony.

Using Drone Video to Market Airbnb Rentals

Haven Forest House Airbnb just a short drive from Nashville TN

As the short-term rental industry continues to grow, it's becoming increasingly important for Airbnb owners to find new and innovative ways to market their properties. Nashville TN is one of the hottest tourist locations in the US so short-term rental competition in Nashville is heavy. At Nashville Drone Co, we understand that making your Nashville area Airbnb stand out from the others will ensure your Airbnb property stays rented year round. One of the most effective ways to do this is by using drone video footage to showcase your property's unique features and stunning surroundings. Short videos for Reels & TiKTok are something we specialize in at Nashville Drone Co.

Here are some tips for using drone video to market your Airbnb:

  1. Highlight the Location: Whether your property is nestled in the mountains or perched on the edge of the ocean, using drone footage to showcase its location can be a powerful marketing tool. Aerial footage can give potential guests a bird's-eye view of the surrounding area and highlight nearby attractions, such as beaches, hiking trails, or local landmarks.

  2. Show Off Your Property: Aerial footage can also be used to showcase the unique features of your property. For example, if you have a beautiful pool, a lush garden, or a sprawling outdoor entertaining area, a drone video can give potential guests a sense of what it's like to relax and unwind in your space.

  3. Create a Virtual Tour: A drone video can also be used to create a virtual tour of your property, giving potential guests a comprehensive view of all the different spaces and amenities available. This can be particularly helpful for larger properties or those with multiple buildings, as it allows guests to get a better sense of the layout and flow of the space.

  4. Show the Seasons: If your Airbnb is located in an area that experiences seasonal changes, using drone footage to capture the changing colors of the leaves or the snow-covered landscape can be a great way to showcase the unique beauty of your property throughout the year.

  5. Add Music: Lastly, consider adding music to your drone video to create an immersive and engaging experience for potential guests. Choose a soundtrack that fits the mood of your property and the surrounding area, whether that's calming and relaxing or upbeat and energizing.

Overall, using drone video to market your Airbnb can be a powerful tool in attracting potential guests and showcasing the unique features of your property. Make sure you use an FAA Part 107 licensed drone video company to capture the footage of your property as its required by federal law when using drone video for commercial use.

Nashville Drone Co Works On Universal Music Video

You have probably heard it said that video is king when it comes to content. I would go a step further and say that drone video is king when it comes to content. Drones can be used in so many ways to help a music video stand out. Nashville Drone Co recently had the opportunity to work with Universal Music and Rocket Entertainment on location in Nashville to do just that.

Nashville Drone Co was hired to do the drone video work for the “I’m Here” video from Universal Music pop artist, Sarah Cothran. While the word “drone” often conjures up thoughts of 400 ft views from the sky, we actually focused on low altitude flying to help the producer build what we think is a pretty amazing video. Our shots begin at 1:37 where we spin the drone above Sarah as she lays on the ground singing and then we chase her with the drone as she runs through the field. At Nashville Drone Co, we focus on capturing cinematic shots that enhance the story whether we are flying 2 feet off the ground or 400 feet in the sky. The video producer, Zachary Wright, and director of photography, Frank Schwab, were great to work with. They shared their vision for the shots they wanted to capture but allowed us the freedom to try some things. Spinning the drone above Sarah was a technique we have been working on over the last couple years and the “I’m Here” music video presented the perfect opportunity to showcase the technique. We were thrilled to see the producer choose the spin as a recurring element through the end of the video.

The “I’m Here” video was our first time to film with a DJI Mavic 3 Cine and we love everything about that drone.
