The brief...
Placefirst commissioned a video for Placefirst Deansgate Gardens, a development in Bolton, to support an awards submission recognising the design of the building. The aim was to showcase the modern architecture, energy-efficient apartments, and the overall layout of the neighbourhood. The video was intended to highlight both the scale and quality of the development
The result...
The video is composed entirely of drone footage, capturing the building’s exterior, overall site layout, and surrounding environment. Wide aerial shots show the full scale of the development, while tighter framing highlights architectural details and the design of individual apartments and townhouses. The finished video presents the development in a way that emphasises its modern, energy-efficient design and high-quality finishes, making it suitable for an awards submission and marketing purposes
Behind the lens...
Placefirst Deansgate Gardens was filmed entirely by drones with both 24mm and 70mm lenses to balance wide establishing shots with more detailed perspectives of the building. Careful flight planning ensured smooth, controlled movement around the site, presenting the neighbourhood in the best possible light while keeping the footage dynamic and visually engaging
In their words...
“Joe and team were fantastic in the delivery of our quarterly drone update, providing regular updates and being prompt with any and all edits asked of them. The standard of video is absolutely fantastic. Can't recommend enough!” Marion Read, Placefirst Marketing Manager
