Film and television production

The challenge

Film and TV productions operate under intense time pressure, often filming across multiple locations with changing crews and conditions.

Drone operations must be planned quickly, remain compliant, and integrate seamlessly into wider production schedules.

Common challenges include:

• Rapid location changes with little time for paperwork.
• Operating in congested or controlled airspace.
• Inconsistent planning and documentation between shoots.
• Manual flight logging delaying post-production sign-off.
• Increased risk when flying near people, sets, or structures.

Without a streamlined workflow, compliance and documentation can slow production or introduce unnecessary risk.

The solution

heliguy.io simplifies drone operations for film and TV crews by reducing admin and standardising compliance.

• Create fast, location-specific RAMS without slowing filming schedules.
• Reuse shoot templates to apply consistent workflows across scenes, locations, and filming days.
• Maintain awareness of restrictions and conditions with live airspace and environmental alerts.
• Automatically capture drone flight logs for production records and insurance requirements.
• Centralise plans, logs, and notes across the entire shoot.

Results

With heliguy.io, film and TV teams can:

• Move faster between filming locations.
• Reduce administrative overhead for drone crews.
• Maintain cleaner documentation for insurers and production managers.
• Improve safety when operating near sets and talent.
• Apply consistent workflows across complex, multi-day shoots.
