BAFTA WINNING DRONE PILOT

Well not a review as such but I suppose winning a BAFTA for drone cinematography is pretty good lol. This was for the great mountain sheep gathering and the drone team involved won the BAFTA for Factual Photography. It was a very different shoot as in we had to get shots as long as possible not the usual 10 seconds for TV and film things (occasionally 30 seconds for end credits). But minutes long. I managed to get the longest uncut shot of 7minutes and 30 seconds in the film:) The film was produced by Windfall films for the BBC.

Our acceptance Speech:)

FLYING FOR FREEDOM *****

“Perfect View Productions have been supporting Flying for Freedom Ltd and Wild and Remote Ltd since 2012. Their work has always been exceptional both in terms of quality, speed of production and reliability. Kirk is a pleasure to do business with and is one of the top drone pilot's in Scotland, if not the UK and also a first class filmmaker. His air to air filming has always been fantastic. I throughly recommend Perfect View Productions - a 5 star company!” James Harris

MONTEITH TAY SALMON FISHING *****

“Having vast experience of some of Scotland's brilliant TV producers on the riverbanks of Scotland it was a true breath of fresh air to gain the professional eye and experience of Kirk Watson who is indeed a 'true' master of drone flight and has 'real' flair for creating true masterpieces at a reasonable cost. Any of my future salmon river filming requirements will be directed only to him and I cannot recommend Kirk highly enough.” Jock Monteith

From start to finish Perfect View helped and assisted with every single aspect of our film which has resulted in almost half a million views so far in the past 4 months! A cannot recommend them highly enough and will be looking forward to working with them again very soon.” Warren Halliwell

EAGLE BRAE *****

“Kirk is an expert drone pilot Scotland and very quick to assess the customer ethos and intentions. He was a filmmaker first and foremost and became a drone pilot second so the filmmaking quality is superb. With many drone filmmakers its the other way around. We have used Kirk and Perfect View Productions several times and will do so again. Recommended” Mike Spencer-Nairn
