SW Productions, full-service video production with integrated drone filming
Our drone videography services give you a powerful way to show scale, movement, and detail.
At SW Productions, we use drones as part of the wider filmmaking process. Sometimes that means lifting the camera above a construction site to show the full scale of what you’re working on. Other times it’s following a vehicle across open countryside, gliding over a coastline, or moving through a school campus to show how everything connects.
Our drones capture crisp, high-resolution footage and aerial photography that gives your audience a clear view of what’s happening on the ground. So, whether you’re promoting a brand, documenting your work in progress, or capturing a live event, we’ll help you tell your story from angles your audience would never get to see.
Planning your next project? Our team works with clients across the South West, London, and beyond. Contact SW Productions and discover the difference that drone video makes.
Meet our drone pilot, Mark Sumner
Behind our standout drone shots is an exceptional pilot.
Mark Sumner is our primary drone operator, in-house photographer, and one of the creative forces behind our aerial imagery. Mark is a CAA A2 CofC qualified drone pilot, meaning he is fully licensed to operate drones commercially under UK regulations.
With extensive experience flying in complex environments, from construction sites to maritime settings, Mark combines technical precision with a filmmaker’s eye.
That combination changes everything.
As both a photographer and videographer, Mark understands how each shot fits into the final film. He knows how to position the drone to capture the right angles, use movement to add energy to a scene, and work with natural light to create cinematic visuals.

Our versatile drone services
Every project is different, which is why our drone services are designed to adapt to your environment, your goals, and the story you want to tell. Our drones help brands, construction teams, and marketing teams tell their stories from a whole new perspective.
Take a deeper look at the types of drone services we can offer:
Drone filming
Why film from the ground when you can give an entirely unique perspective from above? We help you show the full picture using high-resolution cameras capable of up to 5K aerial filming. This type of visual content works beautifully in marketing videos, documentaries, promotional films, and brand content.
And it doesn’t matter how challenging your work is. Our drones can operate in winds of up to around 30mph, allowing us to deliver stable shots even in challenging conditions.
Here’s when you would use aerial filming:
- Showcase large-scale construction sites
- Capture sweeping visuals of a large property
- Follow vehicles through breathtaking landscapes
- Film live events and performances from above the crowd
- Add dynamic transitions to marketing videos
Drone photography services
Aerial photography offers a completely different way to present your location, property, or project. Instead of showing one angle at a time, we use drone photography to reveal all – the scale of a building, the surrounding landscape, and how everything fits together.
Here’s when you would use drone photography:
- Marketing brochures
- Property listings
- Tourism promotion
- Construction progress reports
- Websites and social media
Drone Surveys and construction timelapses
Step back and view your work from above. We use drones to help construction firms and large project managers monitor progress and communicate updates clearly.
We also create construction timelapse films that bring your entire project to life. By combining aerial footage with advanced editing techniques, we can turn months of hard work into a visual story that shows the scale, coordination, and craftsmanship behind your project.
Here’s when you would use drone surveys or construction timelapses:
- Document site progress
- Provide updates for stakeholders
- Support project marketing
- Showcase completed builds
FPV Cinematic Drone Filming
If you’re looking for something more fast-paced and immersive, our FPV drone service offer a completely different style of filming. They allow us to create dynamic fly-through footage that brings locations, projects and environments to life in a way that traditional filming simply can’t match.
Whether weaving seamlessly between objects, flying through buildings, or sweeping across expansive landscapes, FPV filming creates a fluid, first-person perspective that places your audience right at the centre of the action.
This approach is ideal for projects where movement, energy and storytelling are key, delivering visuals that feel engaging, modern and cinematic.
Here’s when you would use FPV drone filming:
- Create dynamic building and property fly-throughs
- Add a modern, immersive edge to campus tours
- Capture the energy and atmosphere of live events and performances
- Showcase every angle of a construction project in a single continuous shot
- Create impactful, high-energy brand and promotional content
- Reflect the speed and precision of high-performance automotive scenes
- Bring the same sense of movement to the water by tracking boats and capturing maritime activity in cinematic, high-speed sequences
