Visit Britain – Discover the West Midlands

Skyhook was tasked by the marketing agency Storyman to provide drone shots for a film to promote the West Midlands. This was part of the Visit Britain campaign leading up to the Commonwealth Games in the summer of 2022.

It was a long shoot covering multiple inner-city and canal locations around Birmingham. It involved gaining permission from various authorities and running a team of crowd marshals to keep our flight areas under control.

We’re very happy with how the edit turned around, also knowing that it was broadcast on TV in all Commonwealth territories. As an ex-Brummie myself, it was a real pleasure to visit Birmingham again—the centre of Brum looked resplendent as it prepared to welcome thousands of athletes and fans from around the world. Noice one babs!
