Aerial and FPV Coverage of Aston Martin Nottingham's Silverstone F1 Screening

In July 2025, Aston Martin Nottingham hosted an exclusive live screening of the British Grand Prix at Binks Yard, a riverside venue in Nottingham. I provided aerial and FPV drone coverage alongside a ground-level videographer, delivering event footage in both landscape and vertical formats for use across Aston Martin Nottingham’s marketing channels.

The Event

Aston Martin Nottingham — part of the Sytner Group and awarded Global Dealer of the Year — brought together clients and enthusiasts at Binks Yard to watch the Silverstone race live. Aston Martin vehicles on display, a riverside setting, and the atmosphere of a race day watch party. The brief was to capture the scale, energy, and premium feel of the event from the air while a separate videographer covered crowd reactions and ground-level moments.

What I Captured

Wide establishing shots showing the full venue layout, including a river-crossing reveal — flying over the water to open up the event space and place it in the context of the Nottingham riverside. Closer aerial passes picking out the cars on display, the screening setup, and the crowd watching the race. And an FPV tour of the event weaving through the venue, capturing the energy and layout in a single continuous sequence.

Working as Part of a Team

This project is a good example of how drone operation integrates with a wider production crew. While a dedicated videographer handled crowd reactions and ground-level coverage, I focused on aerial and FPV work. The two complement each other — ground footage captures the personal, human moments while aerial and FPV provides scale, context, and visual impact.

For event clients working with an existing videographer, I can slot in as a specialist drone operator. For clients who need the full package, I handle both.

Multi-Format Delivery

All footage was delivered in both landscape and vertical formats. Landscape for website, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Vertical cuts for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Stories. For event content especially, vertical delivery matters — attendees share on mobile-first platforms, and delivering both formats from a single shoot means maximum use from every piece of footage.
