Seagulls – UAV Flying

There’s nothing quite like aerial video footage to impress the viewer. Panoramic views from the air adds a real sense of class to any film and Soundview has spent many hours flying our drone, often around the shores of the South West. While we’re able to make the most of the beautiful scenery, it can also sometimes be challenging although perhaps not for the reasons you may suspect. With plenty of planning and pre shoot visits the flight should be a ‘breeze’ (excuse the pun). In summer months, however, things might not always be so straight forward. Why? The simple answer: seagulls. In the summer seagulls are nesting. This makes them naturally protective and when they feel threatened, aggressive. So you can probably imagine what that means for our UAV. It’s attack the drone!
