# Drone Video from Seminyak > Drone video for visitors based in Seminyak from $320: 30 minutes flown where the airspace allows, a 60–90 s aerial film plus raw 4K clips within 5–7 days. This page as HTML: https://www.senjalight.com/services/drone-video/seminyak ## In short Drone video for visitors staying in Seminyak costs from $320 for 30 minutes of flying, delivered within 5–7 days as a 60–90 second edited aerial film plus the raw 4K clips. Seminyak itself is inside the airport’s safety zone, so we fly on the coast north of Canggu or on the Bukit, checked against no-fly zones first. Aerial video is about movement — a slow reveal over a headland, a long track along a surf line — and it needs space and legal airspace to do it. Seminyak has neither for a drone: it sits in the approach and safety zone of Ngurah Rai airport, and its beach is lined with clubs, hotels and crowds. That does not mean a Seminyak stay rules out a drone film; it means the film is shot somewhere better suited and the trip is planned from your villa. The nearest good option is the coast north of Canggu, where long empty black-sand beaches, river mouths and rice fields reaching the shore give the drone a story to follow. For bigger landscapes, the Bukit cliffs to the south can be flown in places away from the temple and the airport approach. ## How the shoot is planned We plan the film like a short sequence rather than a flight. Before the day, the pilot sends two or three possible sites with sample frames and asks what you want the edit to show — the two of you, a surf session, or just the coastline. On location, the first minutes are an establishing shot: the drone rising from behind you to reveal the beach, the river mouth and the line of surf. Then tracking shots, flown low and parallel as you walk or run along the waterline, and a top-down pass while you lie in the shallow wash. The final minutes are for the orbit — a slow circle around you with the setting sun sweeping through the frame — which usually becomes the closing shot of the edit. The raw clips are delivered alongside it. ## Timing The best footage comes in the last hour before sunset — between about 6 and 6:45 pm here — or just after sunrise, when the air is still and the drone holds steady lines. Midday heat haze flattens distant views and makes the sea look grey. Allow for the drive from Seminyak: late-afternoon traffic heading north is heavy, so we usually leave around 3:30–4 pm. The dry season, April to October, gives the most flyable days and the clearest water. In the wet season, early mornings are the safer slot, and the pilot calls off any flight in rain or strong gusts and moves it to a backup date. ## What is included The Drone video package in Seminyak covers: A 60–90 second edited aerial film; The raw 4K clips from the flight; Location checked against no-fly zones before the day; Licensed music and colour grading; Delivery within 5–7 days.

The site and the travel are agreed in the quote before you pay, and nothing is added afterwards. Your own transport is up to you — many guests ride with their driver and meet the pilot on location. If you prefer not to travel at all, tell us, and we will say honestly that a drone film in Seminyak itself is not on offer. ### Can you film the Seminyak beach clubs or hotels from the air? No. Apart from the airport zone, flying over a beach club or hotel means flying over guests, which is not permitted, and the venues themselves restrict it. Businesses that need aerial footage of a Seminyak property should ask about the property drone service, where the address is checked individually. ### Can we use the raw clips for our own edit? Yes. You receive the full set of raw 4K clips from the flight alongside the 60–90 second edit, for personal use and your own social media. Creators often cut several short pieces from one flight. The edited film comes with licensed music; the raw clips have no soundtrack. ### Can the drone video be added to our couple film or wedding film? Yes, if both are filmed at a site where flying is allowed, and that usually means outside Seminyak. If your wedding or couple film is at a Seminyak villa, the drone part is filmed separately on the coast and cut into the story — for example as the opening, flying over the sea before we arrive at the villa. --- Senjalight · https://www.senjalight.com
