Aerial
Drone work across properties, developments and job sites — hero shots, orbits, reveals, and progress records you keep as your own construction documentation.
Media
Drone · video · social
Drone photography and video production, and everything after it.
Aerial, ground, interviews, 360 and 3D, filmed and cut on our own gear. Hire us for one production and that's what you get. Keep us on and we also run the calendar, the publishing and the reporting, on brand and on every channel, all year.
01 The difference
A production company that can stay.
We handle the production on cinema cameras, drones and 360 rigs, and we can run what comes after it: the channels, the calendar and the audience.
01
One production, or the whole operation
Need one property captured, one interview cut, one launch covered? That's a project: quoted, filmed, delivered. Want the calendar, the production, the publishing, the community management and the reporting handled as one continuous job? That's a retainer, and nobody on your side has to remember to post. Choose whichever fits.
02
One capture day, many deliverables
A single visit produces the 3D walkthrough, the photography for the website, and weeks of short-form video. You pay for one trip instead of three.
03
The media knows what the website knows
Because the same team builds both, footage is shot to fit the pages it's going on, and the pages are built to hold the footage that exists.
02 Production
Aerial, ground, talking head and 360. All in house.
Our own equipment — Sony cinema-line cameras, 360 rigs, and a drone fleet — our own pipeline, nothing handed off to a subcontractor.
▸
Ground
Photography and video on Sony cinema cameras. Interiors, detail, people at work. Color, edit and sound finished in house so the look holds across everything.
▸
Talking head
Owners, experts and crews on camera — lit, mic'd and directed so they sound like themselves. The founder interview, the customer story, the explainer your sales team sends instead of a fourth email.
▸
360 & interactive 3D
360-camera capture, walkthroughs someone can move through room to room, full-property models, and flythroughs that show how a site actually sits in its surroundings.
Renders from plans
Photoreal renders from plans, before anything is framed. If it exists as a drawing, it can exist as an image, a flythrough and a walkthrough. That means you market and pre-sell during construction instead of waiting until it's finished and hoping the season lines up. It's especially useful for builders who want to market a project before it's finished.
03 Channels
Every channel, one production.
One shoot, cut for each channel and published on a calendar you approve.
- TikTok
- Where reach still comes cheap in most local markets. Fast walkthroughs that open on the thing people came to see.
- Reels from the same production, plus the stills that carry the brand.
- Where an older, ready-to-buy local audience spends time.
- Home and outdoor projects are among its biggest categories. Traffic that keeps coming long after a post goes up.
- YouTube
- Where the long cuts live, and a second search engine most businesses ignore.
- The list you own, fed by everything above instead of starved by it.
Also included
Captions and scheduling. Community management and comment response. Profile cleanup and duplicate account consolidation. Paid campaigns built, run and optimized against what's actually converting. And one monthly report that ties posts to the thing you care about rather than to impressions.
04 Articles
Articles that answer real questions
Written by us, aimed at what people actually search and actually ask before they buy. Two kinds: the money-term pieces that go after searches you're absent from, and the story pieces that make the case only you can make.
Every article gets cut down for social and email rather than left to sit on the site, and every one is written to be quoted by AI answer engines, not just ranked by Google.
05 Project videos
Document the thing while you build it
A recurring episode following a project from dirt to done. Site work, framing, finishes, reveal.
It gets cut twice: a social cut that runs as an ongoing story people follow, and a sales cut you can send to prospective customers. The aerial progress record is yours to keep either way, and the finished project rolls straight into a walkthrough and a live page the day it's ready.
06 Distribution
Regional links, included.
Many businesses we audit get nearly all their links from one listing vendor, plus low-quality directory links. That's often why they don't rank, and more content alone won't fix it.
DRT is building a regional network of related East Tennessee businesses that link to one another, so each site sends traffic to the others and the whole network grows together. Every client site joins it, at no added cost, alongside Teaster's Natural Creations and East TN Views.
07 How it runs
The commitments behind it.
Our service commitments, for projects and retainers.

Revisions that fix the work
Each package includes the revision rounds listed in its proposal, and we fix any errors. Additional rounds are billed at standard rates.
03

03

04
Can one shoot cover the website, social and listings?
That's how we plan it. One capture day can produce the website photography, a promotional edit and weeks of short-form social, so you pay for one trip instead of three.
05
Can I use the photos and video however I want?
You get a perpetual, royalty-free license to use the finished media to promote your business, including if you stop working with us. DRT keeps the copyright and the raw files. Our terms have the detail.
