OUR PROJECTS
Since 2015, the XPEI DRONE team has participated in hundreds of large audiovisual projects in Spain, Andorra and France.
Our drones have worked live for television and streaming, series and movies for the most famous digital platforms, advertising, events, etc.
On the other hand, our teams specialized in audiovisual monitoring of works continue to record the most important constructions in our country. Here we show you some of our projects.
Shooting for the TV series "Com Si Fos Ahir".
The XPEI DRONE pilots have been shooting together with the TV3 team the final scene of the season of the fiction series "Com Si Fos Ahir", offering the aerial shots with drone.
The scene in which XPEI DRONE has participated has been decisive for the development of the series. An unexpected event changes the future of the series completely. The shooting took place in a residential area in Barcelona, where it was necessary to request the corresponding permits to fly in a CTR controlled airspace area and within urban core. We used the DJI Mavic 3 Cine, where its high quality image and the ability to record in Apple ProRes and D-Log were essential for the TV3 post-production team to carry out the color correction and color grading process.
Today drones are an indispensable tool for the best audiovisual, cinema, television and advertising productions. At XPEI DRONE we have the ideal drones for each situation.

Live broadcast for the ISMF world championships of ski mountaineering
The first week of March 2023, the ISMF Ski Mountaineering World Championships were held at the Boí Taüll ski resort (Lleida). For the first time, Televisió de Catalunya broadcast a Skimo race live in Esport3, and also gave signal to the international channel. The streaming could be seen both on conventional television and on demand platforms. XPEI DRONE was responsible for capturing the aerial images with drones in two modalities: sprint race and relay, held on Tuesday and Sunday respectively.
The drones provided aerial images in the live broadcast and gave viewers a unique perspective, adding to the excitement and interest of the event that would not have been possible otherwise.
XPEI DRONE achieved its goals and once again demonstrated its ability to offer high-quality aerial image capture services for live broadcasting or streaming of sports events, and its contribution helped TV3 to offer a more exciting and engaging experience for viewers. .

We fly our cinewhoop drone on the set of "La Voz"
The second week of December 2022 we went to the television studies of ATRESMEDIA, in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Madrid, to fly our cinewhoop drone taking a tour of the television set of "La Voz".
The cinewhoop drones are small UAS that are piloted in FPV (First Person View). The pilot sees in first person the images captured by the drone through glasses that incorporate a screen.
This type of drone is ideal for passing through tight areas, fly indoors and show tours.
Knowing that at XPEI DRONE we are experts in television, the production team of "La Voz" asked us to take a tour of the set, to show it in social networks, as a promotion just before the final gala.
We start the flight outside, next to the entrance area of the studios. Then we entered the set, still empty, where we made a turn to show it off. We then toured the corridors, the production area and returned to the set, which was already full of people.

Aerial images with drones on live TV
The last day of "Festes de la Mercè" in Barcelona, there was a live broadcast of the pyromusical show that took place in Montjuïc. XPEI DRONE offered the aerial image service for television, with its best professional pilots and drones to work at night and live. The flight was made within the urban area of Barcelona and within the CTR area, which is the controlled area of airspace that requires coordination with the Barcelona airport control tower.
This type of flights can only achieve high-quality audiovisuals results with drones carrying hight-dynamic-range cameras, to capture the lights and shadows produced by the fireworks at night. As well as drones that have a high UAS-emitter transmission capacity to avoid cuts or interferences during the live broadcast.
In this type of work, the drone is incorporated into the team as one more camera under the instructions of the person in charge of production, who is the one who indicates which camera is selected, at each moment, for the live broadcast of the event.
At XPEI DRONE we have experienced pilots to work in the most difficult conditions, that is why the most demanding companies trust us for jobs like these.

Riumar work monitoring
Since the beginning of the work on the new Riumar WWTP, in Deltebre (Tarragona) in mid-2021, XPEI DRONE is the company in charge of carrying out audiovisual monitoring of the entire construction process. The use of drones offers follow-up the work much more detailed and complete than with other more traditional methods, and together with the use of time-lapse cameras and other periodic recordings, they allow the assembly of a final corporate video and a sample of the chronological evolution of it.
For drone flights in the Riumar area, it was necessary to request authorization from the Department of the Medi Ambient (managing body of the Parc Natural del Delta de l'Ebre) due to the restricted area for LER30 flights.
On the other hand, it is of vital importance for XPEI DRONE pilots to be aware of the great biodiversity of fauna and flora and the high ecological value of the Delta to avoid affecting the more sensitive species of wild fauna that inhabit the area. For this reason, we try to reduce flights during nesting seasons, and bird migrations in the most affected areas.
Nowadays the use of drones in works is extremely useful to carry out a good supervision of the construction process. Clients have access at all times to the audiovisual material created to carry out
planning, security inspections and remote monitoring.
Xpei Drone in "Quanta Guerra"
The Xpei Drone pilots have been filming the aerial images with drones of the first season of the television program "Quanta Guerra", which has had five chapters, where well-known characters have had information about how their grandparents lived through the Spanish Civil War.
The program has had audience shares of up to 667,000 viewers in some episodes, largely due to the simplicity and sympathy of the presenter who is very liked by the TV3 public.
The success has been so resounding that the second season is already being prepared.

Shooting the aerial images of the final gala of "Euforia"
A few days ago we were filming the musical performance of the contestants from "Eufòria" in a fake direct. This recording was part of the beginning of the television program where the winner of the contest would be decided. The final gala of "Eufòria" had an audience of 470,000 people.
Our professional drone pilot Xavier Peiruza flew the DJI Mavic 3 Cine drone at the TV3 facilities, in Sant Joan Despí (Barcelona) right at the end of solar sunset, with the last light of the afternoon.
Once again, XPEI DRONE making spectacular aerial images with a drone, for the best television programs.

"3 Dies d'Agost". The documentary miniseries of the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils
During the months of May and June 2022, the filming of the three-episode miniseries "3 Dies d'Agost" was carried out, where the XPEI DRONE pilots participated by taking aerial images in Alcanar, Cambrils and Subirats, in the provinces of Tarragona and Barcelona. This documentary is a masterpiece capable of keeping the viewer in constant tension, at the same time that it shows an extraordinary journalistic work.
The work of capturing aerial images with drones was carried out with the DJI Mavic 3 Cine multirotor, both in daytime flight and in night flight, and 3D effects were adapted on many of them to recreate the explanation of what happened those days.
As of today, drones are an essential tool in any audiovisual production, such as movies, advertising, television programs or documentaries. XPEI DRONE is a drone company in Barcelona that provides aerial imaging services with professional drones to production companies and television stations.
Xpei Drone in the "Volem Saber" program
These days we have been filming a new chapter of the TV3 television program "Volem Saber". On this occasion, the presenter, biologist and popularizer Pere Renom helps us understand the two years that we have been suffering from Covid, the evolution of the disease and how the new versions of the virus will affect us.
Filming consisted of two very different locations. The XPEI DRONE team traveled to the Ripollès region, where the aerial images were recorded with drones in a rural environment. In the second location, aerial images were recorded with drones in Barcelona, in an urban, night environment and CTR controlled airspace.
This video shows some of the aerial images with drones that were broadcast on the television program.
XPEI DRONE is a company located in Catalonia, specialized in professional aerial recordings with drones that works for audiovisual, film, advertising and television production companies.
We also use drones for live television broadcasts or digital streaming.
Recording music video with "Els Pets"
A few days ago we were flying our drones during the filming of the musical performance that "Els Pets" recorded for the TV program "Al Cotxe". Our team traveled to Constantí, in the province of Tarragona, within the Reus CTR, to fly the DJI Mavic 3 Cine.
Previously, from XPEI DRONE the coordinations with Enaire were processed to fly within the restricted space of the Reus airport (Tarragona), as well as the rest of the necessary permits to fly drones in the area.
At XPEI DRONE there is already extensive experience in filming music video clips with drones both in Catalonia and in other areas, such as Andorra.
The Mavic 3 Cine is a drone with excellent quality for the most demanding audiovisual productions, which can be used in shooting advertising, television, documentaries, reports and even in series or movies and with which you can get the best aerial shots.
In this case, the quality of this professional drone was perfectly matched to the image of the other cameras.
Xpei Drone at TecnoBages 2023
On May 21 and 21, 2023 the Xpei Drone team we were in ExpoBages, la multisectoral reference fair in Central Catalonia. Manresa City Council asked us to set up an activity related to technology and drones. A structure of 90 was assembledm2 by 6 meters high in Sant Domenec square in Manresa (Barcelona), in which two spaces were divided, one for the class theoretical and another for the practical class.
In the theoretical part we explain la technological of drones and their operation. We also made known our audiovisual production company specialized in aerial images with drones, how we make videos with drones or how we carry out flights with drones for film, television or advertising. Then the attendees had the opportunity to fly drones inside the venue, which was covered by a net to protect the spectators from the users.
Many thanks to the Manresa City Council for trusting us to carry out this fun activity.
Time-lapse and construction monitoring with drones
Currently, the Comaigua company is carrying out works for the construction of water infiltration ponds for the Cambrils WWTP within the LIFE REMAR project, financed by the European Union. At Xpei Drone we are doing all the audiovisual monitoring of the work. Our work is based on 3 phases of image recording. The first, from a timelapse camera programmed to take a frame from time to time during work activity hours and that the work management can observe remotely from any device using a username and password. The second, with photography and video sessions from drones in each of the phases of the work (excavation, pipe laying, etc.). The third, with recording of photographs and video from professional cameras. At the end of the work we prepare an audiovisual report where the entire evolution of the work is reflected. This video can be used both at a technical level and for promotion and advertising of the company.
