The sky is the frame. A year of perspectives that don't exist from the ground, captured with the DJI Air 3S: every shot composed with intention and graded frame by frame.

Aerial drone video services

I film from the air for projects that need to be seen in context: the scale, the surroundings, and the light that don't exist at street level.

  • Brands and advertising

    Aerial shots for campaigns, launches, and branded content: openers, transitions, and closing shots that hold a piece together.

  • Real estate and architecture

    Developments, towers, and land seen in their context: location, access, surroundings, and views you can't appreciate from the street.

  • Tourism and hospitality

    Destinations, hotels, and experiences with the scale only the air can give: coast, mountains, and city, with the light on your side.

  • Events and venues

    The venue, the setup, and the size of the event told from above, for promotion and for the record.

From brief to delivery

A short, clean process: every step is there so the shot comes out right the first time.

  1. Brief

    You tell me what you need, where, by when, and on which screens it will be seen.

  2. Plan

    Visual scouting of the location, the timing of the light, and a shot list before takeoff.

  3. Shoot

    I fly and shoot in 10-bit D-Log M to keep the sensor's full dynamic range.

  4. Post

    Fine editing and grading in DaVinci Resolve, all the way to the final piece.

Drag to compare

Color: from D-Log M to cinema

Every shot is captured in D-Log M, a flat profile that preserves the sensor's maximum dynamic range. Then I correct and grade it in DaVinci Resolve until it's something you feel, not just see.

Who directs AeroCaptura: Gael Eduardo Beltrán Castañeda

Founder and director of AeroCaptura

Obsessive about visual narrative, surgical timing, and color that doesn't shout: it breathes.

I work with upfront planning, visual scouting, and fine-tuned editing in post to build pieces that sell and move people. I've filmed city, coast, and mountains: from Santa Fe and the Angel of Independence to Monterrey, Zacatecas, Tepoztlán, the Riviera Maya, and Chicago.

How I work

  • Narrative built for brand and results, not just pretty shots.
  • Timing and transitions built to retain.
  • Editing and color grading with judgment: clarity over effects.
  • Fast, clean process: brief, plan, shoot, and post.

Gear: DJI Air 3S

A 1-inch main camera and 3× optical tele, 14 stops of dynamic range, and 4K at 120 fps to shoot cinema-grade aerials, and land them safely: 45 min of flight time, O4 transmission at 20 km, and omnidirectional detection with LiDAR that sees even at night.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you fly?

I've filmed in Mexico City, Monterrey, Zacatecas, Tepoztlán, the Riviera Maya, and Chicago. For your project, email me with the location and the date.

What gear do you film with?

A DJI Air 3S: a 1-inch main camera and 3× optical tele, 4K video from 24 to 120 fps, and up to 14 stops of dynamic range. I record in 10-bit D-Log M to leave room for the color grade.

What formats do you deliver?

4K video (3840×2160) for the web, advertising, and large screens. The drone also shoots native 2.7K vertical, made for social media.

Do you also handle the editing and color?

Yes. I fly, shoot, and color grade: every shot goes from D-Log M to its final grade in DaVinci Resolve, with fine editing in post.

How does the process work?

There are four steps: brief (what you need and where it will be seen), plan (visual scouting, the timing of the light, and a shot list), shoot, and post (editing and color).

How do I request a quote?

Email me at contacto@aerocaptura.com with the location, a tentative date, the type of project, and where the video will be published. With that, I'll propose a plan.

Where can I see more work?

In the full portfolio and on the YouTube channel @aerocaptura, where I publish every new piece.
