Middle Tennessee Sunrises Captured with a Drone

A few weeks ago, we began paying closer attention to the sunrises in Middle Tennessee. We take our drone up each morning, as weather permits, to capture the sunrises from 400 feet in the air. The photos above were all taken from the same exact location but on different days. It's quite interesting to see how different and unique each morning appears. Every sunrise sets up the story that follows throughout the day. It affects our overall outlook for the day setting the stage for what we will experience.  

Just like the daily sunrise, photos and video help tell a story. Whether you are selling real estate, promoting services or documenting a special event, drone video and photos can be a powerful marketing tool in telling your story. Images captured by a drone, spur imagination from unique vantage points setting the stage for fantastic experiences in the minds of potential customers for your products and services.

Drones Offer a Smart Solution for Dolly, Jib and Crane Shots

In the realm of visual storytelling, music videos stand as a dynamic medium for creative expression. In recent years, advancements in technology have revolutionized the way filmmakers approach their craft. Among these innovations, the use of drones has opened up a world of possibilities, particularly in achieving cinematic shots that were once reserved for big-budget productions. Nashville Drone Co provides beautiful cinematic videography without the elaborate setups required for a jib, dolly or crane. We film any moving camera shots including aerial shots, jib shots, crane shots and dolly shots at a much lower cost saving video directors and producers time and money.

Our drone work can be seen in Hello Sunshine Productions’ recent film Wynonna Judd: Between Hallelujah. Nashville Drone Co filmed the shots of Wynonna Judd’s farm and the aerial shots of the tour bus in transit. Some of our smooth low altitude drone video work can be seen throughout Universal Music Group’s Sarah Cothran “I’m Here” music video where we filmed the shots of Sarah running through the field along with the spinning shots above Sarah laying on the ground.

For the Emily Faith “Heaven is a Small Town” music video, featured above, the video director engaged us to film the aerial and all moving shots normally filmed with a dolly, jib or crane. Our drone was able to fly in tight spaces in the woods and creek at a very remote location. One of the key advantages of using drones for jib and dolly shots lies in their ability to navigate three-dimensional space with ease. Whether soaring high above a bustling cityscape or gliding seamlessly through dense foliage, drones offer a unique perspective that adds depth and dynamism to music videos. We filmed the orbit and passing shots in the creek which would otherwise be too expensive to include. Most of the moving shots throughout the video were filmed by Nashville Drone Co.

While drones offer unparalleled flexibility and freedom, achieving professional-quality jib, dolly and crane shots requires a thorough understanding of the technical aspects involved. Factors such as altitude, speed, and camera settings play a crucial role in capturing smooth and cinematic footage. Additionally, ensuring compliance with FAA regulation for commercial drone work is essential in safely incorporating drones into music video production. Nashville Drone Co is an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot with over 300 hours of logged flying experience.

Contact us HERE for a cost saving solution to capture those big budget dolly, crane and aerial shots for your music video or film.

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.

Video Marketing For Short Term Rentals

Short-term rentals have become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more people seek unique and authentic travel experiences. With the rise of platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo, the competition for bookings has also increased, making it more important than ever for hosts to market their properties effectively. Nashville Drone Co is helping short-term owners, in Nashville and surrounding areas, put their short-term rentals at the top of desired places to stay.

One effective way to market short-term rentals is through the use of video. Video allows potential guests to get a better sense of what the property looks like, how it is furnished, and what the surrounding neighborhood has to offer. Nashville Drone Co uses drones to capture the outside from interesting perspective and handheld camera to tell the story of the inside. We recently filmed some properties in Cincinnati and the video above features the beautiful short-term rental Deco on Mulberry.

Here are some tips on how to use video to market short-term rentals:

  1. Showcase the property: The primary purpose of the video should be to showcase the property itself. Capturing the outside of the property with a drone to show views from above helps the potential renters imagine something wonderful. Make sure to capture footage of each room, highlighting any unique or interesting features. Use natural light whenever possible and avoid using filters or excessive editing that might make the property look different from how it actually is.

  2. Highlight amenities: In addition to showcasing the property itself, it's also important to highlight any amenities that guests will have access to. This could include a pool, hot tub, gym, or outdoor space. Make sure to capture footage of these amenities and include them in the video.

  3. Show the neighborhood: Guests want to know what the neighborhood is like, so be sure to capture footage of nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. This will give potential guests a sense of what they can expect to do and see during their stay.

  4. Use music and voiceover: Adding music and a voiceover can help to make the video more engaging and informative. Choose music that matches the tone of the property and use a voiceover to provide additional details and information about the property and neighborhood.

  5. Keep it short and sweet: A video that is too long can quickly become boring and lose the attention of potential guests. Keep the video short and to the point, ideally under two minutes in length.

  6. Share on social media: Once the video is complete, share it on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook to reach a wider audience. Consider using paid advertising to reach even more potential guests.

In conclusion, video can be a powerful tool for marketing short-term rentals. By showcasing the property, highlighting amenities, showing the neighborhood, and using music and voiceover, hosts can create a compelling video that will help to attract potential guests. By sharing the video on social media and using paid advertising, hosts can reach a wider audience and increase the chances of bookings.

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.
