Why Magazine Needs Aerial Photography

In the Magazine sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Aerial Photography delivers measurable results that transform how magazine professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Magazine

Magazines bring a distinctive editorial eye to video production — their strength lies in art direction, visual storytelling, and the cultivation of aesthetic sensibility that defines their brand. Cover shoot behind-the-scenes videos, editor's pick features, and seasonal trend forecast videos extend the magazine's authority from print to screen. Fashion and lifestyle magazines lead in this transition, with video versions of editorial spreads generating social engagement that print alone cannot achieve. The challenge is maintaining the curated, aspirational quality of the magazine brand in a medium that rewards raw authenticity. Subscriber-exclusive video content — interviews with cover subjects, extended photo shoot footage, and editor commentary — provides a digital membership value that supports subscription revenue.

Video Challenges in Magazine

Thriving in the Video-First Media Landscape

82% of internet traffic is now video content. Media companies must produce broadcast-quality video at editorial speed and scale. The shift from text-first to video-first newsrooms demands new workflows, skills, and equipment — while maintaining journalistic standards and editorial integrity.

Digital media competes for attention in 15-second increments. Content must hook viewers instantly, work silently with captions, and adapt to multiple platform formats. Traditional media must reinvent itself while digital-native outlets raise production quality expectations.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Digital Media Pivot to Video

A digital news outlet pivoted to video-first content strategy. Their audience tripled in 18 months, advertising revenue grew 230%, and they secured a distribution deal with a major streaming platform based on the quality of their documentary content.

Key Benefits for Magazine

Audience Growth & Monetization

Media video drives sustainable growth: video news content generates 6x more social shares than text, multi-format repurposing extends content lifespan 5x, and video-first newsrooms see 65% higher audience engagement. Media brands with strong video presence command 3x higher CPM rates from advertisers.

What Makes Aerial Photography Unique

Aerial photography and cinematography from manned aircraft — helicopters, ultralights, and fixed-wing planes — covers large-scale subjects that drones cannot reach due to altitude restrictions, flight time limits, or controlled airspace. We coordinate with certified pilots and shoot through open doors or gyro-stabilized nose mounts using RED or ARRI cinema cameras. This service is used for feature films, large property estates, industrial infrastructure surveys, and regional tourism campaigns. Flight sessions typically run 1-3 hours and cover areas of 5-50 km. We handle all aviation permits, flight plans, and safety coordination. Deliverables include RAW cinema files and GPS-tagged reference frames.

What You Receive

You receive: all raw footage on SSD/cloud, shot log with timecodes, audio files (WAV 24-bit), BTS photos, and production report.
