Leading Edge Technology & Long Established Professionalism

News Image
Flying Pictures has been in the film business for over 35 years and during this time we have become acknowledged world leaders in our craft, with over 400 film credits to our name and some memorable TV work!

We were the ones responsible for the iconic 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony stunt with Her Majesty the Queen and James Bond.

To enhance our portfolio of services to all clients, we have recently announced a merger with AMIS Productions. Emmy-winning AMIS has specialised in live broadcast, e.g. America's Cup, RAI cycling events, BBC Great Run and Formula E Racing.

The merger unifies an extensive range of specialist personnel and expertise over both the broadcast television and motion picture industries. We now hold one of largest inventories of gyrostabilised cameras in the world:

• Eclipse™: State-of-the-art open architecture takes any camera. ARRI 65, IMAX, 3D, Multi-Array (six 5K Red Epics arrayed 3 across x 2 rows high)
• Shotover: Lightweight, compact, takes a range of cameras including RED Epic, ARRI Alexa
• Cineflex Elite: Integral Alexa-M – complete, cost effective package
• Cineflex V14: Integral Sony 1500 – high-performance aerial broadcast system.



Aerial coordination services, aircraft of all types – fixed wing and rotary, fuel bowsers, microwave expertise – we can offer all of these to make the shoot happen, to get the shots.

From London to Glasgow, Barcelona to Berlin, Jordan to Jamaica – even Everest – whatever you want, wherever you want it, for everything aerial.
