The XES Drones Blog

In February 2022, XES Drones were approached by Hannah, the curator at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum (BCVM), to see if it would be possible (and legal) to produce a short promo video for their website. The brief was to provide a 2 min internal video of the museum, showcasing both the fantastic exhibits and also the clever layout guiding folk around the vehicles. They wanted to use a small mini drone flying through at low speed, as opposed to a First Person View (FPV) superfast drone, which they suspected may be too quick for anyone viewing to take in all the exhibits.

Andy, the coach of Barnoldswick FC U-12 girl’s team, wanted to see if it would be possible (and legal) to produce a short promo video for his team. His brief was to try and showcase the ground and facilities, the players and some live action from a real live game, using a drone rather than traditional ground- based video, in order to give the video a bit of X factor.

XES Drones were approached by the vicar of St Mary Magdalene to see if we could carry out a building and roof survey of his 15th century church. Although the request was not driven by any obvious recent damage, he wanted a full overview of the roof and spire, to see if anything untoward had occurred over the previous winter.

XES Drones were approached by high end estate agent Pearson Ferrier to capture imagery both internally and externally at two separate properties in the Lancashire area. The first property, Lovely Hall, was situated in the Egerton area in a fairly built- up residential location, whilst Black Dad farm was remotely located within its own grounds near Edenfield.

In October 2020, XES Drones were approached by national outdoor space specialist, Marshalls, to capture the re-construction of a run -down area behind Grimsby minster.

The brief from Marshalls was to capture the work at various stages, from its inception in the stone factory, right up until the opening to the public in May 2021.
