College & University Campus Aerial Video Tours
Give prospective students the view that makes them want to visit. Lyfted Media films cinematic aerial video tours for colleges and universities — sweeping campus flyovers, residence halls, athletic facilities, and student life from angles a ground camera can’t reach.
A campus tour video works everywhere your admissions and marketing teams already are: your website, virtual tour pages, social channels, email campaigns, and paid ads. One shoot gives you a full tour plus short cutdowns built for each platform.
What we film
- Campus flyovers — the full layout: quads, walkways, and green spaces in one continuous look.
- Residence halls and student housing — show where students actually live.
- Athletic facilities — stadiums, fields, arenas, and recreation centers.
- Academic and research buildings — libraries, labs, and signature architecture.
- Student life — dining, student centers, and gathering spaces.
- The surrounding area — nearby downtown, waterfront, and neighborhoods that are part of the student experience.
Why aerial
A prospective student deciding between schools forms an impression in seconds. Aerial footage shows scale, layout, and setting in a way ground-level video can’t — how the campus fits together, how close the dorms are to the quad, what the walk to class actually looks like. It’s the closest thing to standing on campus without being there.
It also travels further than a brochure. Tour clips cut for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts put your campus in front of students who never would have found the admissions page on their own.
How it works
- Plan — We scope the shot list with your admissions or marketing team and check airspace and campus policies for every flight location.
- Fly — We film the campus, coordinating with your team on timing so shoots work around class schedules and events.
- Deliver — You get the full tour plus short cutdowns sized for web, social, and ads.
