Case overview

My Student Digs asked me to produce video content for two of their newly renovated Leicester city centre properties — Oxford House on Oxford Street and their Friar Lane house — for use on their website and social media.

For student accommodation, location is everything. Both properties sit within minutes of DMU and Leicester Royal Infirmary, but telling potential tenants that in a bullet point is one thing. Showing it is another. I produced a set of videos that combine FPV fly-throughs, traditional drone footage, and in-post CG graphics to place each property in context — 3D text and location markers tracked to the footage, showing exactly where the key landmarks sit relative to the front door.

Delivered
  • Speed-ramped drone fly-through
  • Property showcase video
  • Aerial footage
  • 3D Graphics

Oxford House

Oxford House had finished its full renovation the same morning I arrived to film. I shot a speed-ramped FPV fly-through of the empty building and a full showcase video combining FPV, traditional camera work, and aerial footage — with the CG proximity graphics built in post.

Friar Lane

The Friar Lane property required obtaining flight clearance from HM Prison Leicester, whose flight restriction zone covers the area. That process took around a month to arrange. The resulting video focuses on the outdoor yard space and the property’s proximity to DMU, shot with traditional drone.

All three videos were delivered ready for web and social.

Drone Photography and Mapping for a Commercial Land Sale

A landowner preparing a cleared commercial plot for sale needed more than a few ground-level photos for the listing. They wanted potential buyers to see the full site from every angle, understand the current condition — including remaining tree stumps and debris — and have a detailed map they could use to plan clearance and development work before committing.

Delivered
  • Aerial Photography
  • Video Flyover
  • High-Resolution Orthophoto Map

What I Delivered

1.
Aerial photographs from every angle

Showing the full extent of the plot, its boundaries, access points, surrounding context, and current condition. These images give prospective buyers an honest, complete picture of what they’re looking at — far more useful than ground-level shots that can’t communicate the shape and scale of a site.

2.
Video Flyover

Showing the entire plot, providing a continuous perspective of the land and its condition. Useful for sharing with buyers, planners, or contractors who can’t visit in person.

3.
A high-resolution orthophoto map

A geometrically corrected aerial composite stitched together from multiple drone passes. Unlike a standard photo taken at an angle, an orthophoto is dimensionally accurate, meaning distances and proportions are true to life. For potential buyers, this is a practical planning tool — they can assess the layout, identify obstacles like tree stumps and debris, and begin scoping clearance work before they’ve set foot on site.

Why Drone Surveys Work for Land Sales

Honest representation

Aerial images show the site exactly as it is, including condition issues that ground photos can obscure

Buyer confidence

Detailed imagery and mapping reduces uncertainty and speeds up decision-making

Planning tool

Orthophoto maps give buyers something they can actually work with, not just look at

Remote viewing

Video flyovers and maps let interested parties assess the site without visiting

Drone photography, video, and orthophoto mapping give land sellers and agents a professional package that stands out from standard listings and gives buyers the information they need to move forward.
