The crews will be base themselves near to the area being surveyed and move around as the project progresses. Each day two crews in two aircraft will fly a number of missions capturing images of the pole top structures. These images will be sent back to us where an inspection is completed.

Hi, I am a safe pair of hands for you to entrust this project to and have the perfect mix of skills, experience and location to become the perfect fit for your role.
Relevant Skills and Experience
I have been in the broadcast/corporate video industry for the last 17 years and have shot many, many hours of footage from choppers for mining/construction/tourism clients.
Hi there,
A freelancer staff member suggested I place a bid for this project.
After reviewing your brief I am curious to find out a little more information about this as I feel I fit all the requirements you have mentioned and this would be a rather interesting project!
I have been in the multimedia industry for almost half of my life now. I started out as a teenager in TV production with some basic sound work. I found the filming side of thing much more enjoyable and spent the next 6 years filming, editing and producing local television shows with a few different production companies for a community station in Perth. In the most recent years I have been working as a photographer in Queensland shooting a wide range of things along with some occasional private motorsport film work.
The information I am most looking for from you would be regarding the equipment that is to be used, hours required per day, what price per hour/day you had in mind for this project but any further information you could provide would be much appreciated.
Please let me know if you would like any further information from me. I look forward to your reply.
Thanks in advance,
