Drone Video & Photography · Sunset Valley, TX
The Austin skyline from above —
and Sunset Valley is the foreground.
Hen's Bread Productions delivers FAA-certified drone video and photography across Sunset Valley and the southwest Austin corridor. We've already flown this area — the shots on this page are ours. The Austin skyline backdrop, the Brodie Lane commercial corridor, the Barton Creek Greenbelt edge — 4K aerial footage that shows Sunset Valley in context.
These photos were taken by our team.
Not stock. Not neighboring city aerials swapped in. These are actual drone photos of Sunset Valley shot by Max Cunningham on the DJI Mavic 3 — the commercial district over Brodie Lane and the residential corridor to the south, both with the Austin skyline visible to the north. This is what your aerial coverage can look like.

Sunset Valley has an Austin skyline backdrop. Use it.
Most cities don't have a world-class skyline on their northern horizon. Sunset Valley does. An aerial shot that opens on the Brodie Lane commercial corridor and pulls back to reveal downtown Austin in the distance is a context shot that no competitor in this enclave can match — it shows proximity to Austin without being Austin, and that's Sunset Valley's entire value proposition.
Hen's Bread Productions is FAA Part 107 certified, fully insured, and equipped with the DJI Mavic 3. Our footage is color graded in-house to match your production. Whether you need a single establishing aerial or comprehensive coverage of a commercial property, event, or real estate listing, we bring the same broadcast-grade standard to every flight over Sunset Valley.
Four things that matter on every flight
We've already flown Sunset Valley
The aerial photos on this page are ours — shot over Sunset Valley, not pulled from a stock library or borrowed from a nearby city. When you hire us for drone work here, we're not figuring out the airspace, the angles, or the terrain for the first time. We've been up already.
FAA Part 107 certified — every flight
Max Cunningham holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate — the commercial license required to fly legally for hire. Sunset Valley sits within Austin's Class B and C airspace structure, which requires pre-authorization for many flights. We handle all LAANC authorization before we arrive on site.
D-Log M color — not flat consumer footage
The DJI Mavic 3 shoots in D-Log M with a 4/3" CMOS sensor. Brian Gomez color grades every aerial clip to match your production. Austin's southwest corridor has distinctive light — warm afternoon tones, blue-gray overcast winter skies, golden hour over the greenbelt edge. Flat, unprocessed footage doesn't capture it.
Drone add-on with any production package
Max operates the drone while Jacob and Victor handle ground-level production simultaneously. Your aerial and ground footage are edited by the same team — consistent color, consistent quality, no second vendor in the edit chain.
Aerial coverage built for this market
Commercial Real Estate
Sunset Valley's commercial corridor has some of the highest retail traffic density in southwest Austin. Aerial footage of a property on Brodie Lane with downtown Austin on the skyline tells the location story in a single shot — no map, no copy needed.
Residential Real Estate
Homes in and around Sunset Valley carry a premium tied to their Austin adjacency. Aerial stills and video that show the neighborhood, the greenbelt edge, and the skyline context give listings a visual dimension that ground photography can't provide.
Brand & Corporate Video
An aerial establishing shot of your Sunset Valley location with Austin behind it communicates scale, proximity, and credibility in seconds. We integrate aerial B-roll into corporate brand films, facility tours, and client-facing content.
Greenbelt & Outdoor Productions
Sunset Valley borders the Barton Creek Greenbelt corridor — one of Austin's most visually distinctive natural assets. Aerial coverage of properties and events near the greenbelt edge has a visual character unlike anything else in the metro.
Events & Grand Openings
Capture venue scale, parking fill, crowd energy, and location context from above. A grand opening aerial that shows your Sunset Valley location against the Austin skyline is a marketing asset that keeps working long after the event ends.
Aerial Photography
High-resolution aerial stills for print, web, social, and marketing use. Commercial license included. 20MP from the Mavic 3's 4/3" sensor, color graded and delivered ready for use. A different category from consumer drone photography.
DJI Mavic 3 — Cinema-grade aerial platform
Cinema-grade, not consumer-grade
The Mavic 3's 4/3" CMOS sensor and D-Log M color profile put it in a different category from smaller consumer drones. The shots at the top of this page were captured on this platform — you can judge the output quality directly.
Operated by Max Cunningham
Max holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and has logged flight time across the Austin metro. Sunset Valley sits within Class B/C airspace transition zones that require LAANC authorization — Max handles all pre-flight authorization and airspace compliance so there are no surprises on shoot day. You don't need to know what any of that means. That's exactly the point.
From location check to final delivery
Discovery & Airspace Review

Shot List & Flight Plan
We build a shot list with you — specific angles, altitudes, movements, and context shots. The Austin skyline shot requires specific altitude and direction planning. We work through it in advance so the flight is efficient.
On-Site Flight Operations
We execute the flight plan with safety, precision, and real-time review. Multiple batteries for extended sessions. You can approve shots on site before we wrap — no waiting until the edit to find out what we got.

Sunset Valley sits within Austin's controlled airspace, which means commercial drone flights require LAANC authorization from the FAA prior to takeoff.
