Aerial Photography of Ships

Surprisingly, despite the rains, July and August got pretty busy as well.

Here are two of the recent ships we shot:




Shooting ships is by far the most challenging aerial shoot that we ever do. This may look and sound simple but behind the scenes there are so many concerns and details to tackle, ranging from the ship's date of availability, the course of the ship to take, average speed, maneuvers to make (Williamson's Turn), the ship owner's go signal and the ship captain's cooperation, --plus concerns of the weather and the best time to shoot. 

Before AeroEye Asia started offering close range aerial photography services using RC helicopters, there was the problem of logistics. It was so difficult to match the time of rendezvous of the airplane or helicopter with the ship. Out in the sea, it is like finding a needle in a haystack. What if the lorry carrying the ship's fuel got delayed? What if it rains? What if the ship encounters some technical problems and can't leave port immediately? So many concerns that can easily drive any project manager to insanity.

After MT Matikas, Betico2, MT Magsaysay Island, MT Panglao Island, Star Sirius, SuperFerry20, MT Samal Island, we can safely say that AeroEye Asia has the experience to help simplify the task of conducting aerial shoots of ships SAFELY and SUCCESSFULLY, from barges to Motor Tankers and Cruise Ships.
