A rental brief is easier to price and fulfil when it describes the finished video. “A wide opening shot and two close views of the site” tells the rental team more than a request for the newest aircraft.
Write the deliverables first
List each shot, the intended orientation and where it will be used. A landscape clip for a website and a vertical clip for social media can need different compositions. Include the location, time window and whether an operator is required.
Agree on the handover
Confirm the aircraft and controller package, batteries, memory cards, collection time and return arrangements. Decide who copies the footage and when the cards can be cleared. Before leaving, compare the returned kit against the original list so small accessories are accounted for.
