Vancouver Island Aerial B-Roll for Websites, Social Media, and Local Projects

May 20

Need a few seconds of real Vancouver Island aerial footage for a website, social video, local ad, tourism page, or project edit?

I might already have it.

I’ve built up a growing library of 4K Vancouver Island drone footage from early mornings, beach flights, road trips, family outings, and the usual “the light looks good, I should probably fly” moments.

Coastline. Driftwood. Ocean. Beaches. Shoreline. Forest. Calm water. Sunrise. Lagoons. West Coast moodiness.

The good stuff.

I am, apparently, a card-carrying member of the Coastal Vancouver Island Footage Fan Club.

Which mostly means I get up too early, grab coffee, head to the beach, and film driftwood like it owes me money.

A normal person might sleep in.

I do this.

Real Vancouver Island Footage

If you’re from the Island, you know.

Vancouver Island footage has a look.

The beaches, the driftwood, the grey mornings, the forest right up against the shoreline, the calm water, the rocky edges, the sunrise over the coast — it all has a feel that generic coastal stock footage does not always get right.

Sometimes stock footage is fine. Sometimes it looks close enough. But if you’re building something for a Vancouver Island business, tourism project, local brand, community page, or Island-focused video, close enough can still feel a little off.

This is genuine Vancouver Island aerial footage, shot here, from the actual places people recognize.

No fake coastal filler. No AI scenery. No “somewhere with an ocean” pretending to be Vancouver Island.

What Kind of Clips Are Available?

The library changes as I keep shooting, but the general idea is pretty simple:

beaches

driftwood

coastline

ocean passes

shoreline

sunrise

calm water

lagoons

forest edges

West Coast scenery

local Vancouver Island atmosphere

Basically, if your project needs a few seconds of “yes, this is actually Vancouver Island,” that’s the lane.

Preview Clips and Simple Licensing

I have a preview library of available aerial B-roll clips.

The previews are watermarked, because the internet is the internet and apparently we can’t have nice things.

If you’re looking for something specific, send me a note and tell me what kind of footage you need. Beach, ocean, driftwood, sunrise, forest, shoreline, calm water, full West Coast nonsense — whatever fits the project.

If I have something that makes sense, I can send over watermarked preview options.

Existing Vancouver Island aerial B-roll is simple:

$50 per clip or 5 clips for $200

That’s for existing 4K footage licensed for normal website, social media, local marketing, business, or project use.

Once the clip is licensed, I’ll send the clean version without the watermark.

No subscription. No giant stock-footage maze. No pretending this needs seventeen meetings and a branded PDF.

Need Something More Specific?

Existing B-roll works when the footage already fits.

But sometimes you need a specific place.

Your business. Your property. Your construction site. Your shoreline. Your project. Your view.

That’s when a custom drone shoot makes more sense.

Most straightforward local drone photo/video jobs are usually in the $200–$300 range, depending on the location, airspace, scope, and what you need delivered.

So if the library has what you need, great.

If not, we can talk about capturing something specific.
