I am a freelance filmmaker, based in Scotland. I can self shoot promotional, documentary, educational and narrative content and edit into a final film. I am also a fully licensed, CAA approved drone pilot and cinematographer. Perfect View Productions has all their own equipment to complete a project.

Of filming for Director Dave as he makes his new feature film. I previously worked on other features with him. Was great weather and a good day out with a few of the Action actors. Several shots of cars moving and establishing shots and films opening:)
Inspire 2 drone still working well on features
Day 1 of filming team:)
Drone and pilot:)
Back with the Beluga Lagoon team to film on their feature for the last bit. Again another great week working with this team:)
So I headed to Glasgow to work with one of my favourite filmmakers Andrew O’Donnell and the great Beluga Lagoon team. Andrew has been working on the script for a feature film for the last few years and building a hut for one of the locations. Now starts the ambitious bit of filming it and bringing it together. Andrew is Directing and DOP on it with the lovable Mark being the main actor in the film. Blaine and Willy also have some roles.
So I headed there to do the aerial shots for the film for the week and also help with the sound and lighting when needed. I even dressed up as an owl a few times too lol.
I still don’t know exactly what the film is about as Andrew keeps it close to his chest. As always with andrew he has also produced an album (Beluga Lagoon music) first before starting the film which will be the sound track to the movie. A very talented man!
We had a great laugh filming this film and enjoyed every bit of it. Also got Andrew camera operating on the DJI Inspire 2 on occasion which he took to effortlessly:)
The toilet scene. Mark and Willy peeing with me on sound and Andrew filming:)
Some of my Antarctic aerial filming got into the newest Godzilla film. Brilliant to be a drone pilot for part of a big blockbuster with so much history. One of the clips shown below which appears in the film has a mountain ridge in the foreground which is aptly called Reptile ridge:)
Hollywood comes to Scotland for the new Pokemon film and we did the safety in many locations for them. I stepped back into my MIC (Mountain Instructor) role to join the www.mountainandwatersafety.co.uk team of which there were quite a few on this big budget feature.

I had a day up in Glen Feshie in the Cairngorms to carry out a drone recci for the DOP John Mathieson for the upcoming film Mary Queen of Scots. It was a good day out meeting all the crew that I would be working with later in the year during the actual shoot.
Drone set up for a wee flight
We had quite a few land rovers and they were needed:)
