Union and Non-Union Film Set Work in Victoria
The last couple of years has brought a resurgence of big film productions to Victoria, BC. We have seen several Hollywood films, numerous Hallmark MOW’s, several Netflix and a few independent TV series make their home base in Victoria. With 3 full 100+ person crews, Victoria is able to cater to three big productions simultaneously.
As a ICG 669 Union Drone Pilot member, we at Aerial Vista have been fortunate enough to be invited to coordinate on the aerial cinematography on nearly all the Hallmark movies, Hollywood movies and a couple of Netflix specials that have come to Vancouver Island including Super Pups, Phantom Pups and Scaredy cats!
We bring 14 years of drone videography and flying experience to the table including multiple projects on big film sets, Nat Geo, BBC, wildlife documentaries, multiple TV shows and an IMAX on the Great Bear Rainforest that was filmed in the gorgeous North Coast of BC from the tip of Vancouver Island to Prince Rupert.
We always bring 2 drones and 2 camera systems while on set for complete redundancy, a generator, an array of wide angle to telephoto lenses and the desire to create the most cinematic and exciting shots.
