Hire the Best Drone Pilots in Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles, California
I have over a decade of experience in film and video production, digital content creation, and drone cinematography. From capturing a romantic elopement next to a beautiful lakeside cabin, to crafting a thrilling narrative about the experience of driving a manual transmission Jeep, I take pride in my ability to grab the attention and imagination of an audience, through both real-world documentary and cinematic fiction. I'm an expert at using my Nikon Z8 paired with a DJI Ronin 4S to create smooth, cinematic footage; I also pilot a DJI Mini 5 Pro to find new and dynamic angles on the action. I have mastered quick turnaround times and seamless editing workflows using Davinci Resolve, and use cutting-edge file-transfer software to get footage where it needs to go. From pre-shoot ideas to on-set adaptation to editing bay polish, my experience and confidence shines in every aspect of the media production pipeline. Whether you have an event coming up that should be remembered forever, or a narrative experience that the world needs to see, I can help you stay in the moment and capture it in time.

Los Angeles, California
Hello, If you are looking for original writing, original music, original video, and not AI drafted content then look no further. Nothing against AI and if that is what you want I will oblige, I prefer and enjoy the creativity of my own mind and writing style. Writing has always been an outlet for me and is one of my stronger natural talents. Aside from my last name being English as hard as tried to not care much for High School (which by the way I did graduate) I excelled in English and was successful as part of my schools journalism, newspaper, and yearbook. Having started a beautiful family very early in life, I took the route of Trade School and have held my California General Electrician Licence for over 20 years. Completing 32 hours of continuing education credits every 3 years to keep up to date with the ever changing field of electricity, also required for licence renewal, that being said I have a vast knowledge of electrical constuction, infastructure, troubleshooting, therory, and 28 years of expertise that I could bestow upon you if needed for a job, research, or product review if needed. Aside from this, I can write a big story from a small idea, I can compose song lyrics that will complete an instrumental that you may have but just can't find the words it deserves. If you have lyrics and you need the instrumentals, I can deliver that as well. Alongside writing with an Imagination that I cannot turn off, I also have a great skill of character development and can produce scripts. In my stock I have a half terabyte of Drone stills, sunsets, cityscapes, mountains, canyons, rivers, oceans and just about any real 4K image you may need as a background for a website or if you want a personalized screensaver with a new sunset image every morning, I could create it for you or your buisness. I have about a full terabyte of 4K Drone footage, a ton from the Los Angeles area where I reside but in all transparency I do not have my Part 107 UAV Licence, although I am going to be achieving this licence by this Summer 2025. My still photos I can use but the Drone footage I will need my UAV Licence which I will obtain very soon. I have been piloting drones for over 8 years and have become a great pilot especially learning how to pilot in the Los Angeles area..not an easy task by any means, the other part to that is I have also learned how to video edit. Video editing is not an easy task and is another skill I enjoy and again I prefer to not use the aid of AI in the editing process. I can add voiceovers, original music, sounds, text as well as convert to whatever format you prefer. To sum it up, I am a very creative person who is exploding with ideas and can tell original stories or recap history in a way that keeps readers engaged. Here on the Upwork platform, I have completed some large projects and have been given additional work from majority of my clients. Some of my projects have included a full Ausralian study handbook for high voltage worker's with illuistration along with the test and answer sheet as well. Most recently I have written a chapter of 8000 words for a survival guide for surviving a catastrophe. I've heard of writers block but am yet to experience it myself. Let's work together to create something meaningful and worthwhile.
