Superstar Preparation

Aaron at AMK has a well structured project check list that impressed us with the key planning points for engagement of their services.

On the day of the shoot the AMK team reacted to ambiguity in a professional manner and accomplished their job with incredible results. We were impressed with the quality of their work and attention to detail.

Aaron provided us with a sample clip that demonstrated what they can accomplish beyond in situ drone work.

We will be in contact with AMK in the future for more engagement.

Amazing person and work!

Aaron has been phenomenal to work with, and I can't begin to describe all of the fantastic work he's accomplished for my team. First off, I appreciate his willingness to go the extra mile consistently and deliver work; you will be proud of showcasing. If you're new to video marketing, it may be overwhelming at first with the amount of planning you will be required to do before filming. Aaron does a fantastic job of helping you with the entirety of the video production process.

He is also very hands-on on set to direct the creativity, flow, and narrative of your videos. Aaron truly understands how to take a vision and bring it to life. He is very detailed oriented and executes flawlessly on his work.

Aaron also has a great team, who are also super easy to work with and down to earth. If your company needs video production work, I would recommend you to choose Aaron and his team. His easy-going personality, in addition to his detailed-oriented work ethic, is a no brainer when it comes to choosing a videographer!

"A true delight"

Aaron not only had us laughing throughout the shoot. His easy-going personality made everyone on set feel comfortable. This allowed our educators to perform without much pressure which in turn Aaron was able to capture the true essence of our brand. I also appreciated his eagerness to arrive early and leave late at times, which exceeded my expectations. We would recommend him to anyone who needs a videographer. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

There are not enough good things to say about AMK Films and their quality of work.

Awesome experience!

I flew from NY to California for a few days just to shoot a video with Aaron to create a video for a product we were launching on Kickstarter. Aaron was very professional and easy to work with. He was able to take my vision and expand on it to create a really rockin video that was just amazing. I would definitely recommend his video and editing services.

Drone | UAV | INFO

AMK Films currently holds a Part 107 Day & Night a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization COA from the FAA UAS Integration Office

List of Airports we currently have permission to fly in there airspace.
(link hidden)

AMK Films will manage the flight-related components of your shoot and will obtain the proper approvals from the FAA, local police and fire department.

Obtaining a Drone Film Permit can be a complex and time-consuming process. We handle all drone related paperwork for a smooth process so you can focus on the 10,000 other things needed for your production.

FAA Part 107 Certified Pilots

The FAA has deployed part 107 rules to govern the use of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) - commonly referred to as "drones."

AMK Films currently holds a Part 107 & Authorization COA from the FAA UAS Integration Office, which is tasked with the "safe, timely and efficient integration of UAS into the National Airspace System."

There are more than 30 regulations associated with drone filming, and they affect nearly every aspect of the aerial videography for your shoot. Bring us in before you select a location and we'll make sure that you avoid "no-fly" airspace or that you can plan for the time and extra steps needed to get the proper approvals to fly.

We can help you navigate current UAS rules and requirements to make sure that your shoot fully complies with current FAA regulations. Contact us to discuss your project.

RULES

Part 107 requires that drone operators strictly follow a set of regulations and restrictions including:

- The small UAS operator manipulating the controls of a drone should always avoid manned aircraft and never operate in a careless or reckless manner.

- You must keep your drone within sight. Alternatively, if you use First Person View or similar technology, you must have a visual observer always keep your aircraft within unaided sight.

- You can fly during daylight or in twilight (30 minutes before official sunrise to 30 minutes after official sunset, local time)

- Minimum weather visibility is three miles from your control station.

- The maximum allowable altitude is 400 feet above the ground, and higher if your drone remains within 400 feet of a structure.

- The maximum speed is 100 mph (87 knots).

- You can’t fly a small UAS over anyone who is not directly participating in the operation, not under a covered structure, or not inside a covered stationary vehicle.

- No operations from a moving vehicle are allowed unless you are flying over a sparsely populated area.

- Operations in Class G airspace are allowed without air traffic control permission. Operations in Class B, C, D and E airspace need ATC approval
