Cinematic Aerial Videography & Drone Services in Scotland.

Whether you are selling a luxury property, monitoring a construction development, or showcasing a large-scale event, some stories can only be told from the sky.

But great aerial footage is more than just buying a drone. It requires understanding light, composition, and movement. At Strength in Motion, we integrate aerials seamlessly into your brand narrative, ensuring your footage looks like a Netflix production, not a hobbyist’s weekend flight.

Our Storytelling in Action

Traces - An Artist’s Journey to the Lost Past

This documentary follows Scottish artist Rose Strang as she uncovers the forgotten ruins of a Carmelite friary in Luffness Forest. Inspired by its connection to a fallen Crusader and centuries of conflict, she transforms history into art. Featuring insights from renowned art impresario Richard Demarco, Traces explores how echoes of the past still shape our present.

Nets of Tomorrow - A Collaborative Effort to Sustain Fisheries and Marine Life

This short documentary captures the groundbreaking collaboration between scientists, fishermen, and policymakers reshaping marine conservation. We spent nights aboard a vessel and traveled between Scotland, England and Northern Ireland documenting these innovative gear trials.

Frequently asked. Documentary filmmaking in Edinburgh

Can you fly near Edinburgh Airport/Castle?

Generally no. Edinburgh has specific Flight Restriction Zones (FRZ). We use professional aviation software to check permissions. In some cases, we can apply for unlock codes, but this requires lead time and it's not always possible.

Do you just give me the raw footage?

We can! If you have an internal editor, we can transfer the RAW 4K files. However, most clients prefer us to colour-grade and edit the footage into a ready-to-use video.

How much does drone videography cost?

Standalone drone shoots start from £700 for a half-day. This includes the pilot, equipment, insurance, and pre-flight planning.
E.g. packages:
Monthly retainer (Construction). From £600/month. Includes monthly flights, raw photos, and progress edit.
Real Estate. From £1,200. Includes tour, aerials, and social cuts.
Cinematic. Bespoke. Full production integration.
