S01. EP10. Philip London - How drone footage elevates your films

In this episode, we sit down with Philip London, winner of Best Use of Aerial or Drone footage at this year's Festival. We dive deep into the art of drone cinematography, and why less is often so much more when it comes to capturing a wedding day. Philip shares his unique journey into the industry, from flying manual, high-speed model jets to picking up a camera, and how that precise background shaped his approach to aerial filmmaking. We discuss the discipline behind his signature slow, deliberate visual style, and why he chooses to chase the quiet magic of sunrise over sunset. We also get into the realities of high-stakes filming, from navigating strict drone regulations and heavy winds to the hilarious (and painful) realities of trying to land a drone on a drifting boat in Lake Como. Plus, Philip reveals the unexpected technical choices behind his award-winning work and what happens when a major Universal music producer hires you to shoot their wedding. This is a conversation about mastering your tools, resisting fast-paced editing trends, and using drone with true creative purpose to elevate your films.The British Wedding Film Festival: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠britishweddingfilmfestival.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠britishweddingfilmfestival⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GUESTPhilip London: ⁠philip.londonHOSTSJoce (Lune de Miel Studio): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lunedemielstudio.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jeff (Jeff Wood Visuals): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠jeffwoodvisuals.com⁠⁠VIDFLOWDeliver a premium viewing experience that looks professional and easily accessible on all client devices. ⁠vidflow.co/britishweddingfilmfestival
