New Tool · Shot preview
The right moment, before take-off.
Enter the address and which way the front of the house faces. The tool works out when the sun lights the façade, golden hour, blue hour and the best slots of the next two weeks. The drone shots are illustrated on the aerial view.

For reference only. The drone paths are simplified movements, not to scale, to help you picture the shoot: the pilot adapts them on site. Use the tool mainly to pick the moment. The sun position, on the other hand, is computed precisely.
Your session
A single visit, on the side where the façade looks best: the façade in the sun and golden hour. Twilight is added to the same visit: at dusk in the evening, or at dawn in the morning.

For each day, the best light of the day and the forecast at that time.
( 01 ) Signature shots
Eight movements, one story that sells.
Each shot has a job in the video. On the map, they are simplified to give you an idea; on site, the pilot adjusts them around trees, wires, neighbours and the light of the moment.
-
01 · The arrival
Approach
The drone glides toward the house, descending to the front door like an arriving guest. A warm opening.
-
02 · The opening
Reveal
The drone starts low in front of the façade, then pulls back as it rises. The house unfolds with its land. This is the video’s opening.
-
03 · The depth
Tracking shot
The drone slides parallel to the façade. Trees pass in the foreground and add depth: a truly cinematic shot.
-
04 · The volume
Orbit
A full circle around the house. Buyers grasp its size, the yard and the privacy of the lot.
-
05 · The view
Pedestal rise
The drone rises on the spot in front of the house and unveils what lies behind: the lake, the mountain, the city. Perfect for an exceptional view.
-
06 · The rhythm
Flyover
It passes over the roof and dives toward the backyard, the pool or the grounds. It is the dynamic shot of the vertical reel.
-
07 · The site plan
Top-down
Straight overhead, camera pointing down: the lot lines, the pool and the driveway, like a site plan.
-
08 · The neighbourhood
Context
A rise that shows the neighbourhood, the lake, the mountain and nearby amenities: what buyers can’t see in the photos.
How to read the light
- Façade in the sun: the sun lights the front of the house. Colours stay true and the house stands out.
- Golden hour: warm, low-angle light, the most flattering, especially when it falls on the façade side.
- Noon: short shadows, the best time for the top-down shot, but harsher light on the façades.
- Blue hour: the house lights up and the sky keeps its colour. Ideal when the bright sky is behind the house.
Sun times are calculated to within 3 minutes for flat ground. The tool can’t see trees, neighbouring buildings or hills: a façade “in the sun” can stay in the shade of a tall tree, and the sun sets earlier behind a mountain. The day picks are based on Open-Meteo forecasts and our flight thresholds, with no artificial intelligence: reliable a few days out, a trend beyond that.
For reference only. The drone shots are simplified movements, not to scale; the pilot decides the flight paths on site, based on obstacles, people nearby, weather and Transport Canada rules. Light times are computed for the chosen location; forecasts come from Open-Meteo and change from one visit to the next.
