Review the options here and let your project manager know your preferences for your aerial.

Your drone background photo will largely dictate your rendering's success

Often the Background photo that is used will make or break the rendering. Depending on the time of year you could luck out. But don’t worry, there are ways to improve your background photo.

Be prepared for reshoots

Often it takes 2-3 times to get the right shot because of the variability of the weather and the time of year.

We can adjust the sky in many instances but it depends on the horizon edge

We can do magic here to help with poor drone photography but sometimes we need to get new imagery because it’s unworkable. We will advise you on this right away when we see the asset.

Often we can darken the area to make your project standout

In this example below we darkened most of the surrounding area (foreground) so that the client’s project is more noticeable than it would be otherwise.

Clouds along the horizon can cause issues with replacing the sky

Often it takes 2-3 times to get the right shot because of the variability of the weather and the time of year.

Sometimes your aerial rendering is so big you might want to request an Aerial Closeup in addition

Here’s an Aerial Closeup add-on rendering

Usually we will blur the surrounding area as in this closeup form the background photo’s resolution typically breaks down because the drone company often doesn’t provide a high enough resolution for this version as they were focusing on the larger aerial image. Partly this is because of the lower resolution that most drones put out.

A Dusk Aerial and Closeup Combo

Here’s a combo of an aerial with a closeup using a dusk background where we darkened the surrounding area and illuminated the project to help it stand out.

Pro-Tip Bottom Line

Simply put, the earlier the better. Consult your Dreamlife rep to ensure your guidance is clear. No client ever regretted getting their drone imagery too soon, especially if they are in a rush to get to market.
Beyond Real is what we call that electrifying moment of desire, when you encounter something better than reality. This is core concept of everything we do, it is how we focus our attention on your project and how we create desire in your visualizations.
