What We Do

Drone based Building Construction Aerial Photography Videography progress inspections projects. Pictures Over Stillwater performs drone based Construction Aerial Photography, Videography, Photogrammetry imaging (2D, 3D, Mapping), are among Pictures Over Stillwater focus areas. Our construction experience spans from design phase pre-build virtual outward looking views to support Building Information Modeling (BIM), to one-off ad-hoc marketing “Hero” shots. Our project experience includes FPV fly through virtual tours, special events (ground breaking, top-off, major milestones), to recurring activity indoors and outdoors on projects spanning multiple years.

Where We Have Done Work

We have done residential and commercial construction aerial photography videography imaging mapping and virtual tour projects from western Wisconsin to the west metro, from norther to southern suburbs, as well as throughout the greater Minneapolis St Paul Twin Cities metro area.

Our project experience includes flying in restricted no fly zones adjacent to major airports where special coordination and airspace from the FAA has been required, to flying in controlled airspace with normal FAA airspace authorization, as well out in the middle of farm fields and empty lots.

What We Have Done

Pictures Over Stillwater recurring construction drone aerial photography videography and imaging experience includes both hand flying, as well as autonomous (programmed) missions to capture view perspective that are the same (height, location, focus point) for each flight for long term time lapse comparison and progress reporting. Image capture (indoor and outdoor, ground and aerial) includes still photography, video, imaging mapping (2D, 3D), oblique, nadir, time lapse, panoramic, as well as 360 (still, video,  time lapse).

Our project portfolio experience includes fly and capturing image of undeveloped properties ranging from an acre to over 200 acres, from horizontal below grade infrastructure and utilities site prep to tall vertical structures above ground. We have captured imagery from inside and outside, on the ground, to high over tall buildings in downtown Minneapolis and St Paul.

Pictures Over Stillwater construction aerial photography videography experience includes close up inspections of roofs and other items, to wide view images, from single residence to large multi-story structures, from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of square feet in size.
