Aerial film and photos
for real job sites.
Drone video and stills for solar, energy, robotics, and construction teams.
Robot and crew on the solar rows — Cosmic Robotics, southern Texas.“Aerial capture is strongest when it has a job to do — show scale, explain geography, document progress, or make a location easier to understand.”
WERZ — Drone Approach
Aerial work,
specific to the site.
Field-scale coverage of panel rows, racking, and site progress, from first rails to finished arrays.
The machine working in context: full task cycles from above, matched with ground cameras so the proof is clear.
Progress, layout, and access for construction, industrial, and public-sector projects where ground footage alone is not enough.
Stills planned with the flight for press kits, websites, and investor decks, graded to match the film.

“From pre-production logistics to on-site shoots, editing, and delivery — he's consistently organized, prepared, and ready to execute. Reliable, talented, and low-drama. A combination that's hard to find and extremely valuable.”
Part 107 flights,
planned around your site.
FAA Part 107 certificated
A certified remote pilot in command for commercial drone operations, on every flight.
Airspace and permission
Airspace, weather, and property permission checked before the shoot date, with any required authorization handled in advance.
Coordinated with your site
Launch areas, flight paths, and timing agreed with your site lead, so the flight works around crews and machinery.
Delivered with the film
Aerial footage and stills matched to ground cameras and sized for websites, decks, press, and social.
Use cases
Where aerial earns
its keep.
Solar & energy sites
Show the size of an array, the layout of a site, and progress from racking to finished rows for investors, customers, and press.
Robotics & autonomy
Show a machine working a real site from above, with enough context that technical viewers can see the full job.
Construction & infrastructure
Document progress and show geography and access for construction, industrial, and public-sector projects.

How much does drone video production cost in California?
WERZ prices drone work after the location, airspace, property permission, safety constraints, crew, flight plan, ground-production needs, post-production, and deliverables are known. This page does not present a market average. The named site-scale reference is WERZ's work for Cosmic Robotics.
Overview
FAA Part 107 certified, and planned with your site crew so the flight works around the job.
A robot on a solar row or a crew on a site only makes sense once you can see the whole operation. Aerial footage shows the scale, the layout, and the work in progress in one shot, which is what investors, customers, and press need to see. WERZ is Part 107 certified for commercial drone operations and plans aerial scope around the story, ground footage, permissions, and final delivery as part of a full video production package.
That means flight planning starts with the script and the site. Where does the reveal need to land? What scale needs to be shown? Which way does the light fall at the time we are flying, and where will crews and machinery be? It pairs naturally with robotics and advanced energy productions, and with brand films.

Questions
Common questions.
Is WERZ Part 107 certified for drone video?
Yes. WERZ is Part 107 certified for commercial drone operations. Drone shoots are planned around safety, weather, property permissions, and airspace requirements.
What does Part 107 mean for my site?
Part 107 is the FAA certificate for commercial drone flights. It means a certified remote pilot is responsible for the flight, including airspace, weather, and safety. We confirm permissions and any required airspace authorization with you before the shoot.
Do you shoot aerial photos as well as video?
Yes. Aerial stills can be captured on the same flights as the film, for press kits, websites, and investor decks.
What kinds of projects are best for drone footage?
Drone footage is especially useful for real estate, solar sites, construction progress, agriculture, events, tourism, infrastructure, and any brand film where location, scale, or movement matters.
Can drone video be part of a full production package?
Yes. Drone video can be combined with ground cinematography, interviews, photography, editing, color, sound, motion graphics, and vertical cutdowns so the aerial footage supports the full campaign.
More questions (5)
Do all drone shoots require extra approvals?
Not always. Requirements depend on location, airspace, property access, and project scope. WERZ reviews those constraints during planning and coordinates airspace authorization when required.
Can drone footage be color-matched to ground cameras?
Yes. When drone and ground cameras are paired, footage is color-matched in post so cuts feel like one production rather than stitched-together sources.
How does WERZ price video, web, or marketing work?
Pricing is scope-based, not template-based. We define deliverables, audience, locations, crew, and revisions before quoting — so the budget reflects actual production needs rather than a pre-set tier.
Can WERZ work from a fixed budget?
Yes. A fixed budget works best when deliverables, locations, revision rounds, and timeline are clear before production starts. We will tell you what is achievable inside the budget rather than promise more than the scope supports.
Are there ongoing retainers, or only project work?
Both. Most marketing and web programs run as monthly retainers (strategy, content, optimization). Video and brand projects are typically scoped per engagement, with optional content retainers for ongoing assets.

Tell us the site and the goal. We will scope the flight, the ground crew, the deliverables, and the schedule.
