Introducing Our new drone AKA The Falcon

/in /by

Say hello to the eye in the sky!

“Okay so maybe we went a touch overboard with this one… Is it just me, or is aerial footage one of the coolest additions to a video? With a name like Falcon Film Studios it only seemed fitting to bring you the vision of just that… a falcon!”

When it came time to sit down and choose a drone to add to the gear the choice was simple. Although a lot of our competition decided on drones much cheaper in cost than ours; we knew deep down that the DJI Inspire 1 was the drone for us. With its 4k and slow-motion recording capabilities, this camera blows away most others. More importantly, unlike many other drones the inspire allowed us to fully control the motion of the camera.  This capability is only possible with 2 controllers and 2 drone operators. The landing gear actually raises in order to give you a 360 degree view without the blades hindering the shot. Needles to say, this is one impressive bird.

Next, we have smaller drones such as the Spark, Mavic, and Phantom. Each of these drones made by DJI come in handy for different situations. As the Inspire is much larger than other drones, these smaller options are great for indoor flights, tight maneuvers and noise reduction outside.

Most importantly, safety is MAJOR concern for Falcon Film Studios. We chose a drone manufacturer we could trust. With DJI’s many safety features, and our extended pilot experience we are confident that we can safety take your wedding video to new heights.

Contact us today and ask about the drone. Normally if the weather is right, it doesn’t take much to get The Falcon in the sky!

Check out the difference a drone can make!

Although “Uber Killer” is a working title, it’s certain that we are in pre-production for our new short film. As the script becomes finalized, updates will be given to the public. This is an exciting project for Falcon Film Studios because it’s the first co-written short film we will have produced. It’s being written by Luke Durocher, Ryan Kelly and Director Derek Gauci. The film is to be a horror, shot in Detroit, Ann Arbor and surrounding areas. Production is set to start sometime before February.

We are still looking to fill some roles in the small cast and crew.

Tips for Planning an Outdoor Wedding

/in /by

55-3

       Planning an outdoor wedding in Michigan can be seen as a challenge. Thanks to our unpredictable weather, committing to an outdoor event is not for the faint of heart. However, by knowing a few simple tips, it can easily be a success!

 

 

  • First and most importantly, be sure to have shelter for your guest’s. You should always have a tent or gathering space that will fit all of your guest comfortably. The best thing to do is have a tent with walls that can drop down to the ground when needed. Even if the weather’s bad, good shelter will save the event. You can use the tent as a backup for any planned outdoor activities such as a ceremony. 

  • Be Sure your vendors are as prepared as you for unexpected weather. Safety should always come first for your guest’s and staff. Vendor’s such as DJ’s use open face electronic equipment. That means if it gets wet it will instantly need to be shut down to reduce risk of shock. The vendor’s should all have a plan to keep the gear functioning properly throughout the evening.

  • Worry about temperature as much as precipitation. In the Month’s of July and August you can find some real hot day’s in Michigan. If you have industrial fans or heater’s to keep your tent cool, or warm you will be fine. Also, having good airflow in the tent makes it a much more comfortable environment. With a good temperature inside the tent, you also give your flowers a better shot at lasting throughout the evening. 

  • Set the tent up a day or 2 early. Setting up the tent a day early can effect the cost of your rental. However you may find it worth having the ground nice and dry for your event. If it rains the day before and the tent goes up early the day of, you may find that the sun won’t have time to dry the ground. 

  • Keep restroom’s close to the tent. Nobody want’s to go on a mile long adventure through the woods, in a dress, while it’s storming. Keep the bathroom close, and you will keep your guest’s happy!

  • Be optimistic! Let’s be honest, like Alanis Morissette nobody want’s it to rain on there wedding day. The best thing to do if it rain’s is embrace it. In my opinion, it makes for some awesome pictures and video!  

 

 

 

 

 

Top 5 Places: Indoor Engagement Photo’s MI

/in /by

5. Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn Michigan

                                                                               55-3-2

With such diverse locations all under the same roof, It’s hard to not list this museum as one of the top Michigan locations to shoot pictures indoors. Some of my favorite spots inside include Lamy’s Diner, Hero’s of the sky exhibit, the train, and of course the many classic automobiles.

4. The Inn at St. John’s, Plymouth Michigan

55-3

Many people know of the Inn a St.John’s for their elegant reception halls, lush golf course’s, and beautiful gardens. However, It’s a great place to shoot regardless of the season. Indoors, the Inn offers vast location’s including an art gallery with curving walls, long glass sided hallways and of course the beautiful chapel.

3. Trapper’s Alley, Detroit Michigan

                                                                                      55-3-3

Trapper’s alley is a hidden gem located in the Greektown district of Detroit. It’s a quaint multi-floor mall that reflects greatly the history of Detroit architecture. Although this spot doesn’t have as many locations as the above, It still is a very suitable place to shoot photo’s. The short single hallway mall has a very unique design. The lighting makes for superb shots. I recommend shots from the ground up.

2. GM Renaissance Center, Detroit MI

55-3-4

The renaissance center is obviously a gem on the coast of our beautiful skyline. It comes as no surprise that the interior is as gorgeous as the exterior. The cylinder based architecture provides beautiful curved catwalks as well as great depth of field for photos. Scattered throughout the building you find views of the city, art and incredible architecture to build the perfect backdrop. This is one of my personal favorite spots to shoot in the great state of Michigan.

1. Greektown Casino Hotel, Detroit MI    

55-3-5

Greektown Casino hotel lobby is my favorite place to shoot indoors, especially for brides and grooms. In the lobby alone you will find a beautiful staircase that stretches the room. Once on the staircase you will notice the fireplace, glass chandelier and fine architecture. The lighting and colors that fill this room are incredible to say the least. This is a great spot to have an indoor photo shoot in Michigan.
