Why Tennis Needs Aerial Photography

In the Tennis 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 tennis professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Tennis

Tennis video production presents a unique geometric challenge: the camera must track a small yellow ball traveling at up to 250 km/h across a precisely defined rectangular court, while simultaneously capturing the athlete's technique, footwork, and emotional reactions. The standard broadcast setup uses 8-12 cameras including a spider cam overhead, a slow-motion super-camera on the service line, and net-level micro-cameras. For coaching and academy content, the emphasis shifts to technique analysis — frame-by-frame serve breakdowns, stroke mechanics overlays, and movement pattern heat maps generated from video data. Tournament promotion videos for events like Roland-Garros or the Monte-Carlo Masters require capturing the venue's prestige alongside the athletic action. Player-generated social content (practice sessions, travel vlogs, fan interactions) is increasingly central to tennis marketing. Budgets range from 2,000 euros for a club promotional film to 100,000+ euros for tournament broadcast packages.

Video Challenges in Tennis

Capturing the Energy of Live Action

Sports fans consume 3x more video content than any other audience segment. 78% of sponsors now require professional highlight packages as part of partnership agreements. The challenge is capturing fast-paced, unpredictable action with broadcast-quality results.

Multi-camera coverage, slow-motion replay, and real-time graphics require specialized equipment and expertise. Each sport has unique filming requirements — from the wide aerial shots needed for football to the tight close-ups essential for boxing.

The rise of social media has created demand for immediate content delivery: highlights within minutes, not hours, of the final whistle.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Professional Football Club — Season Highlights

A Ligue 1 club implemented a full-season video strategy with match highlights, behind-the-scenes access, and player profiles. Social media engagement increased 285% and merchandise sales rose 34% driven by emotional video content.

Marathon Event Coverage

A major city marathon used drone coverage and multi-camera setups at key points. The recap video reached 5M views and sponsor visibility metrics exceeded targets by 180%.

Key Benefits for Tennis

Engagement & Revenue Impact

Professional sports video delivers massive engagement: slow-motion replays generate 4x more shares than standard footage, and behind-the-scenes content drives 67% higher fan loyalty scores.

For sports organizations, video content directly drives revenue through sponsorship activation, ticket sales, and merchandise. Clubs with strong video presence report 40% higher commercial revenue from digital channels.

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.
