Drone Footage
Last updated:
Striking aerial photography and video — for facilities, sites, developments and promotional material.
Short answer: Drone footage is the production work that shows the scale of facilities, sites and developments from an angle the ground cannot convey, producing aerial photography and video. At Marka Studio the scope covers: aerial photography and video; facility and site coverage; construction and development progress; edited, colour-graded delivery.
Why Drone Footage matters
Aerial work solves a specific problem: scale and context are almost impossible to convey from eye level. A hundred-thousand-square-metre facility looks like a wall from the ground and like an achievement from the air. We shoot aerial photography and video for facilities, industrial sites, developments and promotional films, and deliver it edited and colour-graded to match the rest of your visual language rather than as raw drone footage that looks borrowed. It is used most effectively as one part of a wider shoot — the establishing shot that gives everything else its context.

Some things cannot be understood from the ground — the size of your facility, the scale of your site, the position of your development. One aerial shot communicates in two seconds what a paragraph of specification fails to convey at all.

- Survey and permission. We check the shooting area, airspace restrictions and the required permits; the permit application is made with the owner.
- Plan. Depending on the purpose (facility, hotel, construction, land) we prepare a shot list and a flight plan.
- Shoot. We shoot on a day with suitable weather, plan an alternative day and check framing live.
- Edit and delivery. We deliver colour-graded clips or an edited video in web and social formats.
When Drone Footage fits, and when it does not
When it fits. It fits facility, hotel, construction, land or factory presentations where an angle, scale and surrounding context that cannot be shot from the ground are needed.
When it is not enough, or something else comes first. Drone flights are subject to airspace and regulation rules; shooting is not possible in restricted zones and the permit process affects the schedule. If the weather is unsuitable the shoot is postponed.
Drone Footage — questions and answers
What are the most common mistakes in drone footage?
Skipping permits and airspace rules, not setting a reserve day for weather and shooting from only one angle are common mistakes. Safety and legal compliance are a shared responsibility of the crew and the client.
What should you prepare before starting drone footage?
Define the shoot location, the type of visual wanted (photo, video), where it will be used, and access and permit status. Report site safety rules beforehand.
Which regions do you deliver Drone Footage in?
We deliver Drone Footage remotely anywhere in Turkey and produce multilingual work for the Dubai and European markets. The studio is in İzmit, Kocaeli, and we do not charge for the first call. On shoot days we are on site; editing and delivery run remotely.
How long does drone footage take?
The shoot usually takes a day; permits, weather and location preparation are planned beforehand. Editing and delivery can follow a few days later. Airspace rules at the site can extend the permit process.
What determines the price of drone footage?
The number of shoot days and locations, whether photo or video, editing and grading needs, crew size and travel costs set the price.
