Commercial + Branded Content
From ground to air, create something worth watching.
West Coast Drone Operations provides commercial video production, branded content, aerial cinematography and ground-based capture for brands, agencies and organizations across Los Angeles and Southern California.
From a specialized aerial shoot to a complete visual story, we build the production around what you need to communicate and where the camera needs to go to capture it.
Content Built Around
the Story
The best content doesn't start with a piece of equipment. It starts with what you're trying to communicate.
WCDO combines professional production experience with specialized aerial capabilities and ground-based cinematography to create content that feels cohesive from the first frame to the last.
We can integrate into an existing agency or production team, provide specialized aerial capture, or build a broader production approach around your project.
What We Create
Cinematic imagery for campaigns, launches and advertising, from individual aerial sequences to integrated ground-and-air production.
Commercial + Campaign Content
Corporate + Organizational Content
Show the people, places, work and ideas behind your organization through compelling visual storytelling.
Location + Destination Content
Professional video for company profiles, capabilities, recruitment, internal communications, presentations and stakeholder engagement.
Build a versatile library of professional footage and photography that can be adapted across digital campaigns, websites and social channels.
Social + Digital Content
Brand Stories
Capture properties, destinations, campuses and environments from perspectives that establish scale, place and atmosphere.
Custom Productions
Have something that doesn't fit neatly into a standard production package? Tell us what you're trying to create and we'll help determine the right approach.
Aerial + Ground. One Visual Approach.
Great visual storytelling isn't limited to one perspective. We combine cinematic aerial imagery with ground-based cinematography to create cohesive coverage built around the needs of the project.
-
Cinematic drone photography and video can establish scale, movement and place while creating perspectives that aren't possible from the ground.
-
Professional ground-based cinematography captures people, details, environments and moments that bring the story closer.
-
From planning and capture to broader production support, we can scale our involvement around the needs of the project and the team already in place.
Built to Work With Your Team
Need an aerial crew?
We can integrate into an existing production and focus specifically on the aerial imagery you need.
Working with an agency or creative team?
We can collaborate around an established concept, shot list and production workflow.
Need broader coverage?
We can combine aerial and ground-based cinematography to create a more complete visual package.
Our role can be as specialized or as comprehensive as the project requires.
Production Experience Behind Every Frame
WCDO brings extensive professional television, documentary and commercial production experience to branded work.
That experience shapes more than how we operate a camera. It informs how we approach composition, movement, coverage, production workflow and ultimately how footage will work together in the edit.
One Shoot. More Possibilities.
A well-planned production can create far more than a single finished video.
Depending on the project, capture can be planned to create a library of visual assets for use across:
Brand films
Commercial campaigns
Websites
Social media
Presentations
Recruitment
Public relations
Stakeholder communications
Future marketing
By considering those uses before production begins, we can capture imagery with greater long-term value.
Commercial Video Production Across Southern California + Beyond
West Coast Drone Operations is based in Southern California and supports brands, agencies and organizations throughout the region and beyond.
Whether we're joining an existing production for a specialized aerial sequence or providing aerial and ground-based coverage together, we build the approach around the creative and practical needs of the project.
What Are You Trying to Create?
Bring us the concept, the shot list, or simply the problem you're trying to solve.
