LA Media had been involved at the end of Season 2 which we filmed in April 2017, spending a week in unseasonal snowy conditions both in Glen Feshie & on the Ardverikie Estate. It was great to be invited back, & on this occasion to film a block of episodes over several weeks.

Pete Maughan was the drone pilot, with Matt Harmsworth standing in on a day Pete wasn’t available, I operated the aerial camera, & Justin Adams coordinated the flights, battery charging & client liaison.

We filmed at Ardverikie Estate, for the second time in as many months after working on the new James Bond film a few weeks earlier, then in Caithness for a second filming block, & it was great to spend sufficient time on The Crown to become fully part of the crew – normally the drone team get added on for a few days here & there, but our involvement of several weeks meant friendships were formed + we became trusted enough to be allowed to head off independently on occasion to create our own shots (v rare on this higher end type of production).
