Bring us the idea. Lensaloft develops the aerial shots and takes care of everything required to capture them.
A clear path to the shot
Some clients arrive with a detailed storyboard. Others have a message, a place or a feeling they need to convey. Lensaloft can turn either into a practical shot list, then manage the aviation, equipment and production planning needed to bring it to screen. You stay focused on the film and the finished footage.
Behind the footage
Every successful aerial shot rests on decisions the audience never sees. Lensaloft handles airspace and CASA requirements, ATC and stakeholder coordination, pilot briefings, insurance, risk management, equipment preparation and aircraft rigging. Interstate and international transport is planned as part of the production, with weather and light monitored closely so the capture window serves the look of the film.
We translate the message or creative direction into shots that can be planned, captured and edited.
Creative, aviation, technical and logistical requirements are managed as one production.
Aircraft, crew, equipment, permissions, weather windows and contingencies are prepared before capture.

Technical capability
Lensaloft has worked with a broad range of cinema cameras, stabilised systems, lenses, aircraft and specialist platforms. Proven equipment is used where it fits the brief. When it does not, we design, manufacture and test the rig or supporting equipment needed to make the shot possible.
That development work stays behind the scenes. The client receives a considered plan, a properly managed shoot and footage that works in the edit.
A finished shot list is useful, but it is not required. We can begin with the message or feeling the film needs to convey and develop the aerial sequence from there.
The regulatory and operational work is managed as part of the production, without adding another layer for the client to coordinate.
The aircraft, camera, lens and stabilised system are selected for the shot. When standard equipment cannot deliver it, Lensaloft develops and tests a purpose-built solution.
Weather is reviewed across aviation and forecasting sources to find the light, visibility and atmosphere the shot needs, then monitored through the production window.
Start with the idea
You do not need to solve the aerial sequence before making contact. Share the message, location, schedule and intended use. Andrew can develop the shot list and take care of the planning, permissions, people and equipment needed to capture it in Melbourne, across Australia or overseas.
