THE CAPTURE

Directors: Anthony Philipson, Johnny Allan Cinematographers: Rasmus Arrildt & Philippe Kress

A high-stakes surveillance thriller returning to BBC One for its third season. The Capture is one of the BBC's most acclaimed contemporary dramas, — a production that demands extensive pre-planning with aerial work across multiple locations, including some of the most sensitive in London's Westminster. The permissions that make this possible are built on years of relationship with the CAA and key stakeholders, and a safety record that speaks for itself.

Equipment Used

Heavy Lift Drone

Freefly Alta 8: a heavy lifter with a small form factor.

Under our OSC from the CAA this aircraft can be operated to within 10m horizontal distance from uninvolved people, making it ideal for work in urban areas, where traffic and public cannot be controlled and a small working footprint is needed for the controlled ground area.
