Can your team do drone shooting in Beijing?
In Beijing, the no-drone zone is getting bigger and bigger every year. Roughly speaking, inside the 5th ring road of Beijing, there is no chance to do drone shooting. But Focus Film China has certificated drone pilots. We can do beautiful drone shooting at places where it is still possible to fly.
If it's impossible to do drone shooting of the skyline of Beijing, where it is worth doing drone shooting in Beijing?
One of the places that we got the most drone shooting requests is the Great Wall. The Great Wall is long and if you have no idea where to take off your drone, there is more chance that you got interrupted by security guards than getting beatiful footage. With our experienced drone pilots, you will have access to undevelopped sections of the Great Wall with not much tourists or interrruption. Here is a screenshot of our footage:
