A local announcement
A volunteer organizer shows where the public can meet for a shoreline cleanup. Give us the confirmed meeting point, time and a person who can speak for the group.
HDS FIELD DESK / WINNIPEG & MANITOBA
Complimentary ground newscasts.
Something worth sharing on your street, at your jobsite or at your event? Tell Eric what happened. We can turn one verified update into a short video report, filmed at ground level and delivered to you.
A completed booking isn’t required to pitch a local story. Eric confirms the story, location and available time with you.
Sample bulletin · West Hawk Lake. Original HDS archive photographs with synthetic studio narration. The sample shows the format for a ground report.
THE COMPLIMENTARY OFFER
One story. One short report.
For an accepted request, HOGUE DRONE SERVICES produces a 30–60 second ground-level clip covering one update at an agreed location. We check the facts with the designated contact and deliver the finished file privately to the agreed recipient.
01 / ON THE GROUND
What’s the story?
A milestone people can see
A site lead walks us through a newly completed entrance from an approved filming position. We confirm what changed, the opening date and which details may be shared.
A message for your guests
A host records a welcome at a wedding, fundraiser or company gathering. We frame the willing speaker and deliver the clip to the organizer for the audience they choose.
02 / WEST HAWK LAKE FIELD NOTES
Three frames from the sample.
The wide view establishes the place. The path brings the viewer closer. A single detail on the dock gives the report its closing shot.
03 / FROM PITCH TO HANDOFF
How your report comes together.
- 1. Send the brief
- Tell Eric what happened, who can confirm it, the general location, the date and who needs the clip. If timing matters, give the actual deadline so we can confirm whether it works.
- 2. Agree on the shot
- We confirm access, filming permission, a willing spokesperson and any people or spaces to keep off camera. For a private event, the host identifies who may be filmed.
- 3. Receive your copy
- The designated contact confirms names and facts. We deliver the agreed file directly. You choose whether and where to share it. A broadcaster placement or public post is outside the complimentary offer.
Security observations and private event records stay with their authorized recipients. A ground report has its own brief and permission to film.
