Case Study
Visit Greenville
Destination Marketing
What better way to show off a city than by drone? An FPV drone to be exact. We’ve taken a few trips to Greenville to capture all that the city has to offer from the sky. Whether it’s a city landscape, waterfall, or hiking trail, our small FBV drone and experienced drone pilot can get places regular cameras just can’t.
FPV Drone Flythroughs
When Visit Greenville first came to us, they were looking for video assets that would showcase key points of interest around the Greenville area to attract more visitors. The approach we landed on to do this was with FPV drone flythroughs. So far, we have completed 3 video shoots with the Visit Greenville team, each capturing the unique and accessible attractions Greenville has to offer.

Greenville State Parks
On our most recent video production with Visit Greenville, we stepped away from the city and headed into nature visiting local state parks and iconic attractions. We hiked, boated, fished, and biked to show all there is to to right outside the Greenville area. For this shoot, we mixed in handheld ground coverage with the FPV drone flights which gave us room to create additional edits cuts specifically for social reels.
Holidays in Greenville
Greenville, SC truly comes alive during the holidays, and we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to capture it all - from a sleigh ride with Santa, to ice skating on Main St. As one might imagine, filming in a crowded public place isn’t always the easiest, but with the help of amazing local talent and a lot of planning, we were able to get the job done.
