This is one of those projects where you have to say trust the process even when things are off to a bumpy start. We received the call to photograph the Quinsigamond project in late November 2023. The previous drone pilot canceled the flight and this client turned to SS/noir Aerial Media to save the day. Due to multiple snow storms and lots of rain, plans for the build were delayed a few times. When we were able to get the drone up in the air, the vision of the project came to life.

Our final day of shooting for this project was October of 2024. The final shoot included interior photographs and video of the building. There was also special requests to have the interior lights on during civil twilight. We enjoyed the atmosphere during the civil twilight shoot and we highly recommend photos like these for anybody in photography.

Being able to see project completion in real time is an exciting thing to experience as commercial drone pilots. We don’t know what we’re getting into and when we get to the end result, we can proudly say “We was a part of that”. If you want to become a drone pilot, definitely check out the process.

The fun parts about working on this project was being able to use different modes of transportation to reach the site during the progression of the build. We discovered that the WRTA, Yellow Cab combined with an electric bicycle was a major benefit to exploring what the city of Worcester has to offer. Hopping off the Commuter Rail from Framingham and enter the heart of Worcester is an experience. This Cube Smart is about 5 miles away from the train station.
Worcester is full of many restaurant options and one of our favorite spots is located behind Cube Smart. Yes we are taking a moment to plug in the wing spot Wicked Wing Co. on Boylston Street. Good job everyone!
