RTK drone filming

RTK precision: the 3D dolly in the sky

RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) GPS positions the drone to within centimetres, so a programmed move can be flown again and again, identically. Think of it as a dolly track in the sky: same path, same speed, every take.

In this clip the drone starts low beside the bowler, then on “action” flies back and up in one straight diagonal to reveal the whole cricket stadium. The crew then reset and fly the identical move again.

  • Matching takes and VFX plates that line up
  • Day-to-night and timelapse passes along the same path
  • Clean before-and-after comparisons

Moves like this are hard to repeat by hand. Moonshine is one of the few creative drone teams in London flying this way.
