DRONE FOOTAGE
Aerial Photography has been around for over 150 years, but only recently has it become more accessible, making it a must-have for many video and photo projects. Our FAA Certified Drone Pilots can create cinematic aerial footage for you, and record images you thought were impossible to capture.
Our Mavic 3 Pro Drone can record in 4K Ultra HD, and capture up to 240 fps for the most mind-blowing slow motion videos. Meanwhile, our brand new FPV drone even has the ability to travel up to 87 mph and accelerate from 0-62 mph in two seconds, and its remote piloting allows it to truly go anywhere.
Aerial Drone Footage receives millions of views on social media, and can truly set you apart from your competitors. Our mesmerizing aerial footage will blow viewers away, and get more eyes on your website.

Who it's for
Real estate agents and developers, builders tracking construction progress, venues and event organizers, musicians, and any brand that needs to show a whole property or crowd at once.
Flying safely in Nashville airspace
Much of Nashville sits in controlled airspace around the airport, which is why every flight starts with an airspace check and authorization. We fly across Middle Tennessee, and drone work is often bundled with a ground video shoot from the same team, planned as one production.
Nashville drone footage, common questions
Are your drone pilots licensed to fly commercially?
Yes. JBowman Creative's pilots are FAA certified, which is what the law requires for any drone footage used for business, and the flights are insured. That matters in Nashville specifically: much of the city sits in controlled airspace around the airport, so the team checks the airspace for every shoot and gets authorization where it is needed before the drone leaves the ground.
What can drone footage be used for?
Real estate listings, sporting events, music videos, concerts and festivals, website background video, and background footage for a larger video production. It also works for construction progress, commercial property, land and acreage, restaurants and venues, and anything where showing the whole property or the crowd from above tells the story faster than a ground shot can.
What quality is the footage?
The Mavic 3 Pro records in 4K Ultra HD and captures up to 240 frames per second for smooth slow motion. For high speed and close proximity shots, such as following a car, flying through a building, or chasing action at an event, the FPV drone reaches 87 miles per hour and goes places a standard drone cannot. Both deliver footage that holds up on a large screen, not just on a phone.
How does a drone shoot work?
Six steps. Location scouting checks the site, the airspace, and the best angles and time of day. A shot list is built so nothing gets missed on the day. Then the photo and video shoot itself, followed by culling and editing to pull the strongest footage, creation of the finished album or video, and delivery of the files in the formats you need.
How long does it take to get the finished video?
The shoot is usually a single visit of an hour or two, weather permitting. Raw footage can be delivered within days; an edited video with music, titles, and colour grading typically takes one to two weeks depending on length and how many revision rounds are needed. Timelines are agreed before the shoot.
What does drone footage cost in Nashville?
It depends on the location, how long the shoot runs, whether FPV work is involved, and how much editing the finished piece needs. A set of aerial photos for a listing is a different scope from a fully edited brand video. JBowman Creative scopes each shoot after a short call and gives one fixed quote, and drone work is often bundled with a ground video shoot at a better rate than booking the two separately.
Can you combine drone footage with regular video production?
Yes, and that is the usual approach. The same team shoots the ground footage, interviews, and product shots, so the aerial clips are planned as part of one story instead of dropped in afterwards. One crew, one edit, one consistent look.
What happens if the weather is bad on shoot day?
Drones do not fly in rain, high wind, or fog, and footage shot in flat grey light is rarely worth using. The team watches the forecast and reschedules for the next clear window at no extra charge, because the point is footage you are proud to publish, not a date on a calendar.
