Thomas RoinelDrone pilot · Camera operator · Editor · Voice-over
An aerial shot in your live broadcast, with no wait for the edit. I fly, frame and send the picture in real time to your gallery, OB van or studio.
From the sky to the timeline, all the way to the voice: you work with the same person from the shoot to delivery.
Commercial operator registered with the DAC-NC, in urban areas and beyond visual line of sight. Stabilised shots, tracking and subject follow for television and film.
News features, profiles, magazines and corporate films. Shoulder-mounted or on a gimbal, interviews, with a light crew.
Editing and colour grading of documentaries and news features delivered to broadcasters, in MXF to broadcast specs.
Narration for news features, documentaries, corporate films and commercials. Clean recordings, delivered synced to the edit.
Three samples to hear the tone: measured for documentaries, lively for magazines, upbeat for commercials.
The view is New Caledonia's first selling point.
Permits are my job. Tell me where and when, and I'll handle the rest. Here's what has you covered.
Commercial operator registered with the New Caledonia civil aviation authority.
Both remote pilot certificates: aviation rules and flight safety, fully covered.
Insurance dedicated to drone flying. Your shoot is covered, with nothing for you to arrange.
In town, near crowds or beyond visual line of sight, under the right scenario.
The simplest case: line-of-sight flying away from buildings. Ideal for lagoon, reef and coastline shots.
Urban flying with prior notice and a safety perimeter on the ground. Allow at least 5 working days in New Caledonia.
Marked-off zone, safe distance from the crowd and coordination with the organiser. Ideal for live sports and public events.
Beyond visual line of sight over open ground, for long distances and remote sites.
Every mission is cleared case by case, depending on the area and the regulations in force.
Some flights require prior notice to the authorities. Lead times are counted in working days, excluding weekends and public holidays, so get in touch as early as you can.
Equipment and delivery formats, so you can clear the job with your gallery or post-production team.

Safety comes first: a drone doesn't fly in rain or strong wind. We check the forecast together the day before or that morning, and the flight is moved to the nearest possible date.
As early as possible. Some flights require prior notice: allow at least 5 working days in New Caledonia and 10 working days in France. For a simple flight over the lagoon, a few days is often enough.
Yes, in town and alongside an event, under the right flight scenario, with a safety zone and the required permits. But never over a crowd: the drone keeps its distance from the public. I handle the paperwork.
We discuss it before the shoot. If recognisable people appear, we plan the necessary releases together, or shots that avoid them.
For television, MXF in Full HD or 4K, at 25 or 50 frames per second, interlaced or progressive depending on your broadcast. For web and social media, in H.264 (MP4), in the right framing, vertical included.
For news and live coverage, rushes can be delivered the same day. For an edit, the timing depends on the project and is agreed in the quote.
Yes, anywhere in New Caledonia. Travel costs depend on the location and are listed in the quote.
