Music video drone filming in Barcelona
Continuous shots that fly through the stage, the smoke and around the artist to give your music video rhythm and energy.
A music video shot with an FPV drone does more than show the place from above: the camera enters the scene, circles the artist, weaves through the crowd and flies out of a window without a single cut. It is the kind of shot that sticks in your head and gets shared the most on social media.
At KoneX Aerials we shoot music videos for artists, bands and production companies, combining the FPV drone for action shots with the stabilized drone for openings and wide shots. That way the director gets both the movement and the clean footage the edit needs in a single day.
What an FPV drone brings to a music video
FPV adds rhythm: the camera movement follows the music instead of standing still. It enables long takes that start outdoors and end inside a warehouse, tracking shots of cars or dancers a few meters away and turns that would be impossible with a crane or a handheld gimbal. With smoke, lights and choreography, one well-flown shot can become the defining image of the whole video.
How we prepare the shoot
Before the day we talk to the director to understand the song, the tone and the key moments. We visit or study the location, sketch the flight routes and decide which equipment fits: a cinewhoop with ducted propellers for indoors and close to people, a freestyle FPV for speed outdoors or a cinelifter when a cinema camera needs to fly. On set, each shot is rehearsed and repeated until it matches the music.
Safety with artists and extras
Flying close to people takes planning. As a registered operator with AESA and with Coverdrone liability insurance, we set distances, flight zones and signals with the crew before filming. The goal is for the shot to look risky on screen, not on set.

Can you fly an FPV drone inside a warehouse or a venue?
Yes. Indoors we use a cinewhoop, an FPV drone with ducted propellers designed to fly in enclosed spaces and close to people. We check the space beforehand to decide the route.
What do you need to prepare the music video?
The song or a style reference, the location and an idea of the moments where you want the drone. With that we propose the shots and the most suitable equipment.
Do you deliver the raw footage for the editor?
Yes. For music videos we usually deliver the raw footage in high quality so the editing team can cut it together with the rest of the shots.
Do you film music videos outside Barcelona?
Yes. We are based in Barcelona and travel anywhere in Spain and Europe.
