You know those ads you see offering you drones at knock-down prices, easy to fly, great pictures etc. Hmmm. It’s not so much the drone itself as the person operating it that makes the difference – just as any top photographer will tell you, you don’t need mega-expensive kit to take great pictures: you can take superb shots with a disposable camera from Boots, if you use your eyes. Well, Maritime Films UK were lucky enough to secure the services of Matt Wild for our drone work. NB you also have to be licensed to do this properly, and you need to check with the local authority too – especially if you are flying over people. Matt handled all that and produced superb work. Go to https://www.maritimefilmsuk.tv/films/d-day-delivered-the-story-of-landing-craft-tank-7074-3-revelation/ to see what he delivered. Breath-taking.
