Do you need a drone licence for aerial footage in Queensland?

Yes, commercial drone operations in Queensland require a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) and a Remotely Piloted Aircraft Operator’s Certificate (ReOC) from CASA. Drone videography is ideal for real estate listings, construction progress documentation, tourism marketing, and event coverage - giving your project a cinematic perspective that ground-level footage simply can’t match. At Hotto Media, we handle all the regulatory requirements so you can focus on the creative vision for your project.

FAQ | Hotto Media Bundaberg

Q: How much does a videographer cost in Bundaberg?

Video production is quoted per project rather than off a price list, because cost depends on shoot length, locations, editing time and whether you need drone or motion graphics. Hotto Media works two ways: one-off projects booked as you need them, and monthly retainers that bundle filming and content at a lower per-video rate. Every job starts with a free consultation, and you get pricing options and a fixed quote before anything is locked in. Podcast and film studio hire is priced publicly at hotto.media/book.

How much does a videographer cost in Bundaberg?

One-off Starter Packs start at $1,000. Studio sessions start at $250 an hour, bookable online at hotto.media/book. Our monthly Flywheel programs run at three levels, and we recommend the right one after a quick chat. Every project gets a clear price before anything is filmed.

What should I prepare for a corporate video shoot?

Before your corporate video shoot, prepare a clear brief outlining your goals, key messages, and target audience. Have any scripts or talking points ready, and choose presenters who are comfortable on camera. If filming on-location, ensure the space is clean, well-lit, and free from background noise. Wear solid colours and avoid busy patterns on camera. Don’t worry about the technical side - our team at Hotto Media handles all camera, lighting, audio setup, and post-production editing so you can focus entirely on delivering your message.
