Construction filming

Films that show
the build

From the first machine on site to the ribbon at handover — aerial and ground camera, shot around live operations and edited in-house into films the boardroom actually watches.

What we film

Three films every
programme needs

Camera briefing with the excavator operator on a live dig

01 — Progress

Monthly progress films

A fixed monthly shoot-and-edit rhythm that gives the project team, the client and the funders the same clear picture — filmed around live operations without stopping them.

  • Fixed schedule, fixed price per month
  • Aerial and ground coverage in one visit
  • Delivered edited, graded and captioned

02 — Milestones

Milestone & topping-out coverage

The moments a programme is remembered by: breaking ground, major lifts, topping out, first energisation. Planned in advance, filmed properly, ready for the press release the same week.

  • Multi-camera coverage of key events
  • Interviews and pieces to camera
  • Fast-turnaround cutdowns for social

03 — Handover

End-of-project films

The whole programme in one film — timelapse, aerials, milestones and interviews cut into the piece that wins the next tender. If our tower has been on site, years of footage are already in the can.

  • Combines timelapse and filmed material
  • Versions for bid libraries, web and events
  • Full usage rights, delivered in every format

The loadout

One cinema camera
in the air. One on
the ground.

The same full-frame image, whether the shot flies or walks — so your film cuts together seamlessly.

Why crews let us on site

We work like
a subcontractor

Turned out properly

PPE isn't a photo prop

Hi-vis, hearing protection, comms and site-appropriate footwear as standard — hard hats and harnesses where the site or the task demands it. Our crew arrive dressed for your induction, not for a film set, and your site manager never has to have the conversation.

  • Site-standard PPE worn as a matter of course
  • Task-specific kit — harnesses at height, eye and hearing protection with plant
  • Inductions completed without drama, escort requirements respected

Paperwork first

RAMS issued before we arrive, inductions done without fuss, CAA authorisation and £10m insurance on file with your compliance team.

Around live work

We plan shoots to the programme, not the other way round — no stopped plant, no cleared areas, no lost hours on our account.

One point of contact

The crew that flies your site runs your timelapse and cuts your films. One supplier, one invoice, one person who knows the job.
