Soaring Above A City In Transition

Bakehouse Aerial are seeing Hull from a whole new angle.

Kingston Upon Hull is undergoing a rapid and comprehensive transformation.

With UK City of Culture status for 2017, an expanding construction industry, more festivals than there are months in the calendar, and the Green Port Hull vision, which aims to establish the region as a world-class centre for renewable energy, the city is a hub of activity and a focal point for international business.

A place of ambition and opportunity requires filmmaking, marketing and documentation tools of a global standard, which is why Bakehouse Aerial recognised the need to gain permission from the Civil Aviation Authority to film from the skies. Just a few months in, the company has already worked on the latest City of Culture promotional film, as well working nationally to capture unique footage for a range of clients from up to 400 feet above the ground.

As drone usage becomes widespread, Bakehouse are the first supplier in East Yorkshire to offer the service 100% legally under the stringent CAA guidelines. With qualified pilots and commercial photographers working with industrial-grade drones and high resolution DSLR and film equipment, the team is also dedicated to giving talks and workshops on the legality and applications of aerial filming to local authorities and businesses. As technology and the law change, they believe it is their duty to act as educators as much as providers so that everyone understands the potential the trade has to offer.

An often-overlooked city, Hull has a population of over 250,000 and is a hive of science, energy production and food manufacturing. Whilst Aunt Bessie's produces over 20 million Yorkshire puddings a week, Siemens are creating the planet's most advanced wind turbine manufacturing facilities, Hull University are researching water flows on Mars, and a million ferry passengers access the city’s ports each year.

Ben O'Leary, photographer at Bakehouse, said: "It is essential that an area with such significant national importance has access to professional aerial filmmakers. We combine our production skills with an unparalleled knowledge of the East Yorkshire landscape."

The next few years in Hull are set to be very exciting for everyone in the UK and beyond. Bakehouse Aerial is ready to help capture each and every moment from the skies. Contact Ben on 01482 420501, or see www.bakehouseaerial.co.uk.
