River Event Filming in Chiswick
Specialist over-water river event filming at Chiswick for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We run drone operations in Chiswick throughout the year, in all tide states. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. Where a brief covers several reaches, we plan them into one run down the river.
Magnetic interference near steel structures in Chiswick is factored into the flight plan. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.
Any Chiswick operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the footage from the Chiswick shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
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.
