This is a comprehensive F.A.Q. about my process, deliverables, and expectations. Don't hesitate to call or text with any questions.  405-764-4999-David

  • What DON'T you do ?

  • Weddings, Logos, Website design, Blogging, Email campaigns

  • What do you do in post production?

  • Color correction (grading when needed), transitions, audio effects, music, voice overs, text and graphic animations, logo reveals and transcriptions. We also do hyper-lapses, time-lapse builds, panoramas, and photo stitching.​

  • What is your process for editing and delivering the final video product?

  • Before we shoot we nail down expectations on length, format, content, theme, audio, music etc. I work with either premiere pro or Da-Vinci resolve to create my best version and then deliver both the Raw footage and project via drive or download. From there we make any corrections based on your input.

  • How do you handle revisions or changes to the final product?

  • The most important thing to me (after safety) is for you to love what I deliver. I work most efficiently with an all inclusive numbered list of timestamp corrections or substitutions, and a lettered list of questions or ideas about how to handle changes. I include 2 revisions -If I make a mistake when sending it back to you then I do not count it as a revision. After that I charge hourly editing rates for revisions with an hour minimum. And it all falls back on the guarantee of if you don’t like it you don’t pay for it.

  • Can I request specific camera angles or shots for my project?

  • Yes, I prefer blunt honesty while sharing creative ideas. I will deliver anything you like, and provide you some great alternatives for backup plans.

  • What types of payment do you accept?

  • Cash, check or card. Easy online invoicing, deposits and payments. 

  • Can you provide estimates for the cost of a project before starting?

  • Yes, based on exact address and scope of work I can provide exact bids.

  • How far in advance do I need to book your services?

  • I can get to some projects the same day. If it requires FAA approval they ask a 60 day notice.

  • Do you offer discounts for bulk orders?

  • Yes on bulk bundles or weekly shoots.

  • How do you handle scheduling conflicts or double bookings?

  • First deposit reserves the date. I share my calendar of availability.

  • How do you handle cancellations or rescheduling of projects?

  • I am flexible with weather cancelations or rescheduling. I want to complete your project not steal your deposit.

  • Do you have any restrictions on the use of the footage captured during a project?

  • Just be honest with what you need, I love to see my work on the news or in TV shows or up in an office. I can deliver a better product if you tell me exactly what it is intended for.

  • How do you ensure the privacy of individuals or sensitive information in the footage?

  • Editing

  • Can you fly in inclement weather?

  • Yes, technically. But the risks and complications rarely justify the footage.

  • Yes the FPV footage provides an incredibly immersive aspect . I have flown around live performances, singers, dancers, animals, parades, and festivals.

I’m happy to help anyone interested in drones, it’s the least I can do as almost everyone in the drone community has been genuinely helpful to me. If you are interested we have a weekly drone meetup where we all fly together and help each other with custom builds and trouble shooting.

  • Do you offer any guarantees or warranties for your services or products?

  • Yes, if you do not like it you do not pay and you don’t use it. I’d probably share a lot of your reservations when paying for a service like this. This is my commitment to a working relationship.

  • Do you have experience working with clients in my specific industry?

  • If I don’t then I am even more interested in it. I grow from diving into new industries and the unique ideas and angles to showcase their business. Those ideas translate and mesh for more dynamic results when you work with multiple industries. 

  • Can you provide rush services for projects with tight deadlines?

  • That is our specialty, we do a lot of same day projects that grow into long term customers.
