Since 1993 Jaffe, Inc. has helped Chicago-area organizations tell memorable stories through professional video production.
Jaffe, Inc. provides professional aerial and drone filming for businesses, agencies, nonprofits, institutions, event producers, and property professionals throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Our aerial footage adds scale, movement, and a fresh point of view to film and video productions while remaining integrated with the creative and technical plan for the complete project.
Drone footage can establish a downtown location, reveal the size of a campus or facility, follow activity across an outdoor event, showcase commercial real estate, document construction progress, or give a corporate film a cinematic opening. We capture high-resolution footage suitable for websites, presentations, broadcast, advertising, social media, event screens, and long-term media libraries.
Every flight begins with practical planning. Our team reviews the location, creative goals, weather, airspace, timing, safety considerations, and required permissions before filming. On production day, aerial capture can be coordinated with our ground-based videographer services, cinema cameras, interviews, and event coverage for a consistent visual style.
After filming, Jaffe, Inc. can edit, color-grade, stabilize, title, and deliver aerial footage as part of a finished video or as organized standalone clips for your production team. Contact Jaffe, Inc. to discuss your Chicago location, intended shots, schedule, and delivery requirements.
High-Resolution Aerial Capture
We capture detailed aerial footage with smooth, deliberate camera movement and flexible framing for widescreen, square, and vertical edits. Camera settings are coordinated with the rest of the production for consistent color and motion.
Flight Planning & Location Coordination
We plan around the intended shots, location access, weather, airspace, nearby activity, and production schedule. Because conditions and permissions vary by location, feasibility is reviewed before a flight is confirmed.
Events, Properties & Facilities
Aerial coverage can showcase outdoor events, campuses, commercial properties, construction sites, industrial facilities, parks, and destination locations. Flights are designed around the story rather than captured as generic scenery.
Editing & Final Delivery
We can integrate drone shots with ground footage, interviews, graphics, music, and sound design or provide selected aerial clips to your editor. Deliverables can be prepared for websites, social platforms, presentations, broadcast, and archival use.

How Aerial Footage Strengthens a Production
Aerial filming works best when each shot has a clear purpose. An opening view can establish where a story takes place, a slow reveal can introduce a building or campus, and a moving overhead shot can show the scale and energy of an outdoor event. Jaffe, Inc. plans these moments alongside the ground-camera coverage so the finished sequence feels unified.
Pre-production includes reviewing the location, desired flight path, sun position, pedestrian and vehicle activity, airspace, access, safety, and weather. These details help determine what can be captured responsibly and when the location will look its best.
On the production day, aerial shots can be coordinated with interviews, handheld or tripod footage, time-lapse photography, and event coverage. Matching frame rates, exposure, movement, and color makes it easier to combine the material naturally in the edit.
In post-production, the strongest aerial takes are selected, stabilized where appropriate, color-graded, and shaped to support the pace of the story. Titles, logos, music, and sound design can then turn a single establishing shot or complete aerial sequence into a polished part of the final video.
Aerial footage is especially effective for corporate overviews, real estate and development marketing, construction updates, tourism, parks and recreation, outdoor events, schools, healthcare campuses, manufacturing facilities, and location-based advertising. It can also be delivered as a reusable library for future campaigns.
