Snowy Peak Films provides drone services in Denver and across Colorado with FAA Part 107 certified pilots, and we carry drone insurance. Aerial shots are part of a full production, planned in the same script and shot list as the ground footage, not a standalone drone gig. We handle FAA airspace authorizations and site checks in pre-production, so the shoot day is about the work.
Aerial video production for the whole shoot
Commercials & brand films
Reveals, establishing shots and running footage from the air, flown alongside the ground crew. For The McCarthy Companies, one of three crews working at once flew a DJI Inspire 2 for aerials.
Agriculture & land
Fields, ranches and acreage from the air, from agricultural fields in the San Luis Valley and Del Norte to the Front Range.
Events & outdoor locations
Venues and outdoor shoots, including Red Rocks, which we’ve flown several times with permits.
Indoor flights
Inside motorcycle shops and manufacturing facilities, moving through a space in one continuous shot.
All over Colorado, with the proper permits
We’ve flown drone videography across Colorado: Red Rocks (several times, with permits), Boulder, Fort Collins, Greeley, Colorado Springs, Woodland Park, Del Norte and agricultural fields in the San Luis Valley, plus indoors at motorcycle shops and manufacturing facilities. Our aerial cameras include the DJI Inspire 2 and DJI Mavic 3 Cine.
Flying legally in Denver’s airspace
Much of the Denver metro sits in controlled airspace around Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. Flying there takes FAA authorization, which we request through LAANC or directly from the FAA before the shoot. We also check each site for temporary flight restrictions, crowds and local rules, and get location permits where they’re required.
Aerials are quoted per project.
The drone, the pilot and the airspace authorizations are added to your production’s quote. Location, airspace, flight time and the number of finished pieces move the price. Tell us where you’re shooting and what you need to see, and we’ll scope it with you.
Drone questions
Are your pilots licensed and insured?
Yes. Our pilots hold FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificates, the certification the FAA requires for commercial drone work, and we carry drone insurance.
Can you fly near DIA or downtown Denver?
Often, with FAA authorization. Most of the metro is controlled airspace around Denver International, Centennial and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan airports, so we request authorization through LAANC or the FAA before the shoot. Some spots have tighter limits, and we’ll tell you up front what’s possible.
What if the weather is bad?
We don’t fly in rain, snow or high wind. We check the forecast before the shoot and again on site, and if it isn’t safe to fly we’ll set a new time with you.
Do we get the raw footage?
Tell us when you request a quote. If you need the raw aerial footage as well as the finished video, we’ll include it in the scope.
Can you combine aerial with ground footage?
Yes, that’s how we usually work. The pilot is part of the production crew, so aerials and ground footage are planned together and cut into the same piece. On larger shoots we’ve run three crews at once: cinematic b-roll, running footage and aerials.
