Filming & Photography
Film, television and photography work depends on how successful the director, helicopter pilot and the camera operator are. All three need to work together to obtain the best imagery possible.
At Alpine Choppers, our pilots are highly qualified with extensive filming hours as well as working with photographers to help capture that perfect shot using all types of camera platform. Our aircraft are fitted with all of the necessary anchor points for the main stabilised camera systems and our pilots have developed a finely-tuned instinct to position for that special shot.
Our pilots will request an extensive ground briefing before flying to make sure they understand all aspects of the task and the camera equipment involved. Often we’ll suggest additional ideas based on our extensive experience and our pilots will always be looking for ways to bring that bit of extra magic to the shoot.
Alpine Choppers has filmed for the following productions:
- TVNZ documentaries
- TV1 News
- TV3 News
- Channel Nine Australia
- Disney Channel
