DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY MELBOURNE
xCreative™ shoots aerial photography and video across Melbourne and beyond. The Light House Apartments campaign put a 69-level tower in its skyline. The Swanston Central work includes a billion-pixel panorama a penthouse buyer can zoom into their own future view. Aerial footage frequently feeds into video production for launch campaigns.
Aerial imagery answers the questions ground photography cannot: what is around it, what does it overlook, how big is it really. For property, construction and commercial clients those answers close deals, which is why the drone earns its place in most of our campaigns.
Aerial Work
Drone photography and video with a destination for every frame.
01
Real Estate Aerials
Development sites, completed projects and listings shot to show position, outlook and scale. An aerial that shows the park across the road does more selling than three paragraphs about lifestyle, and buyers trust a photograph over a render every time.
02
View Studies
For towers we shoot at height before completion, so off-the-plan buyers see the actual view from their actual floor. The Swanston Central billion-pixel panorama is the extreme version: every window’s outlook, verifiable before the concrete arrives.
03
Construction Progress
Scheduled flights over your site produce a consistent record for buyers, lenders and marketing. Kingsley pairs progress imagery with website updates, keeping purchasers confident between contract and keys.
04
Commercial & Industrial
Facilities, yards and infrastructure shot for capability documents and leasing campaigns. Industrial assets in particular sell on aerial context: access routes, hardstand, scale.
05
Aerial Video
Cinematic drone footage cut into campaign films, like the Voyage Altona film’s sweeps along the bay. Movement sells location in a way stills cannot, and we grade the footage to match your brand.
06
Planning & Airspace
Flights planned around airspace rules, weather windows and site safety. Melbourne’s airspace is layered and the rules are real, so we scout, book and plan properly rather than hoping on the day.
How we work
Four steps, one team, no handovers.
01
Brief & Scout
What the images must show and where they will be used, checked against airspace and light for the site.
02
Fly
Scheduled shoot with a shot list, flown when the light serves the subject, not when the calendar is convenient.
03
Edit & Grade
Selection, retouching and grading matched to your brand and the rest of the campaign imagery.
04
Deliver
Files sized for web, print and billboard, organised and licensed for your business use.
Why xCreative
Why the aerials work harder here.
A drone operator sells flights. We sell outcomes: the brochure spread, the website hero, the film opener the footage was always destined for. Because the same studio designs the brochure and builds the website, every aerial is shot with its final crop and placement already known.
Property clients get the deepest benefit. Aerials, campaign design and view studies from one team means the imagery, the identity and the sales tools agree with each other, which is visibly not the case in most campaigns you walk past.
FAQ
Questions clients ask us.
01
Can you fly in my suburb?
Most likely, with planning. Controlled airspace, helipads and event restrictions shape what is possible where, so we check your exact site and tell you honestly what can be flown.
02
Do we own the images?
Licensed for your business use, in writing, with portfolio rights retained by us and nothing else. No per-image fees appearing later.
03
How weather-proof is the booking?
Wind and rain ground drones, so bookings carry a weather window rather than a single fixed hour. We reschedule fast and shoot when the site looks its best, which serves you more than stubborn scheduling would.
04
What does drone work cost?
A single-site shoot and a year of monthly progress flights are different jobs. Tell us the site and the purpose and we will quote it straight.
