Only Child – BBC Scotland
BBC Scotland’s New Drama “Only Child” – A Unique Aerial Perspective
In BBC Scotland’s latest warm-hearted comedy-drama Only Child, Richard grapples with the chaos of his eccentric, slightly doddery father, played by the legendary Gregor Fisher, alongside the ever-charming Greg McHugh. Amid the squabbles and family chaos, the show explores whether father and son are truly that different.
To bring the dynamic visuals of Only Child to life, Aerialworx joined the production team to capture breathtaking aerial shots using the groundbreaking DJI Inspire 3 drone. Known for its unrivaled precision and cinematic capabilities, the Inspire 3 allowed us to frame the narrative with sweeping landscapes and intimate, high-detail aerial perspectives that mirrored the emotional depth of the story.
From intricate tracking shots to grand, panoramic views of Scotland’s stunning countryside, the Inspire 3 gave us the freedom to capture some truly extraordinary visuals. With its ProRes recording capabilities and flexible camera angles, we created dynamic shots that elevated the storytelling, capturing not just the action but the heart of the characters’ journeys.
We’re thrilled to have played a part in crafting the visual identity of Only Child, blending innovative drone technology with heartfelt comedy and drama. Tune in to BBC Scotland to watch the magic unfold.
