River Event Filming in Chelsea
Specialist over-water river event filming at Chelsea for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our river event filming team is authorised and equipped for operations in Chelsea. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Repeat work in Chelsea keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
Magnetic interference near steel structures in Chelsea is factored into the flight plan. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. We can work outside normal hours where river traffic or light demands it.
Where the Chelsea flight affects navigation, we coordinate directly with vessel operators. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.
Survey data from Chelsea is processed and returned within two working days. Ask us about vessel support for Chelsea, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
What deliverables can you provide from Chelsea?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
Can you film moving vessels in Chelsea?
Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.
