Newcastle, from above
The city, the harbour and the coast, recorded clearly.How It Works
Four steps, from enquiry to files.
Enquiry
An enquiry comes in by phone, email or the form, with the site, the purpose and the date. We respond to every enquiry within one business day.
Scope and quote
A short conversation settles what the job needs: the shots, the area, the timing and the files. A written quote follows, with no packages and no set prices.
Flight day
Weather is checked the day before and again on the morning. We arrive at the agreed time and fly the plan from the positions set out in the scope. Repeat jobs are flown from the same positions as the last visit.
Delivery
Files are edited, named and delivered in the formats agreed in the quote. Stills are typically delivered within two business days; video within five. Raw files are supplied on request.
Our Approach
The same habits, in the air.
Factum is Latin for a thing done. The same habits apply in the air: plan the work, record what is there, deliver it in a form that holds up.
Planned
The brief, the positions and the timing are settled before the flight, not on site. The plan is kept on file.
Accurate
The record shows what was there on the day. Stills are corrected for colour and exposure and kept true to the site, and the files are dated.
Delivered
The job is finished when the files are with the client, not when the aircraft lands.
