FPV jobsite flythroughs, monthly progress films and documentary work — footage that makes the job look as good as it was to build. Mapping, volumes and measured deliverables are a separate business: buildmodeaerial.ca.
Footage your client can share, your recruiter can use, and your investors will actually watch. All prices CAD, flat fee, no hourly.
One site, one flight, one sharp clip. A 30–60 second cinematic FPV flythrough of completed work, fully edited, your logo and colours, music licensed and cleared. Vertical cut included for social.
A 60–90 second monthly cut showing how the site has evolved. Graphics, music, branded. Built for investor updates, internal reporting and marketing that doesn't look like a phone video.
Measured deliverables — orthomosaic progress maps, stockpile volumes, cut/fill against design, as-builts — come from Buildmode Aerial Mapping. Book both on the same site visit and the mobilization is only paid once.
You don't touch any of it. Flight planning, airspace clearance and the site walk are handled before the truck arrives.
Airspace review and clearance. The Advanced certificate covers controlled airspace, so a nearby airport isn't a blocker.
Up to an hour on site. Site sign-in, PPE, and a written hazard assessment before the first launch — same as any other trade on your job.
Colour, cut, sound design. Your logo and colours, music licensed and cleared — nothing that can get a video pulled down.
Finished cut plus a vertical version for social. In your inbox within 48 hours.
Advanced RPAS certification is done, and commercial and aviation liability are bound — flown under RPAS Operator Certificate OC2623804121, certificate of insurance provided before shoot day.
The Flyby is $850 for the first five clients — one site, one flight, one finished 30–60 second cut, delivered in 48 hours. It goes to $1,250 once regular booking opens.
If the cut isn't something you'd put on your own website, you don't pay for it.

▸ Got it.
You'll get a reply with a couple of dates that work. If your site has airspace restrictions I'll sort the clearance before I confirm.
A Canadian construction story, told through the people building it. A documentary short for Skyway Canada. Updated as the project moves, so you can see the process, not just the finished cut.

One note when there's something worth seeing — a rough cut, a behind-the-scenes clip, a release date. Nothing else.

Which means the person shooting your site isn't a videographer who learned what a footing is last week. The camera goes where the work is, the flight plan accounts for the crane swing radius because I've worked under one, and nothing gets shot that puts your crew or your schedule at risk.
Buildmode Studio is the production side of Build Mode Digital Inc., based in London, Ontario. The measurement side — orthomosaic mapping, stockpile volumes, cut/fill and as-builts — trades as Buildmode Aerial Mapping.
