Drone Coverage and Trailer Production for Nashville Days Country Music Festival
Nashville Days is a community-run country music festival held at Bridge House Barn in Kibworth, Leicestershire. After selling out in 2024, the festival returned in 2025 and I provided aerial and FPV drone coverage for the event. Alongside the footage delivered for the main event video, I also edited a promotional trailer using my drone footage combined with ground-level clips captured by guests and social media influencers.

The Festival
A mix of camera drone and FPV footage covering the full scope of the event. Wide establishing shots showing Bridge House Barn and the festival layout. Closer passes over the crowd, the food stalls, the shopping vendors. Top-down shots of the line dancing. And FPV runs through the festival capturing the energy of the live bands and the atmosphere across the whole site.
The variety matters here — wide shots give context and scale, close-ups bring the viewer into the detail, and FPV ties it all together with movement and energy. Between them, these angles gave the organisers a library of clips to pull from rather than a single locked-off perspective.
Promotional Trailer
As well as delivering raw clips for the main event video, I edited a promotional trailer for the following year’s festival. This combined my aerial and FPV footage with ground-level content shot by attendees and social media influencers — phone footage, crowd reactions, close-ups of the bands.
Mixing professional drone footage with authentic ground-level content works well for festival promotion. The drone work provides the cinematic scale and production value, while the guest footage adds the raw, first-person energy that makes people want to be there. The result is a trailer that feels both polished and genuine.
Why Festival Coverage Works from the Air
Festivals are hard to capture from ground level alone. Drone footage fills the gaps.
Scale
Show the full event in a single shot, not just the stage or the crowd
Energy
FPV movement captures the atmosphere in a way static cameras can’t
Promotion
Aerial footage gives next year’s marketing material instant production value
Context
Place the event in its setting, showing potential attendees exactly what they’re buying a ticket for
