Hotel Drone Video Content – Surfside Oceanfront Hotel

Hotel Drone Video Content for Surfside Oceanfront Hotel

Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Lunch + Recess produced hotel drone video content for Surfside Oceanfront Hotel to showcase the property’s oceanfront setting, surrounding coastline, and daily coastal rhythm from sunrise through sunset. This aerial reel was designed to establish location, scale, and atmosphere in a way that only intentional drone cinematography can deliver.

This drone video supports the hotel’s website visuals, social media presence, paid advertising, and hospitality marketing efforts while reinforcing Surfside’s position as a true oceanfront destination in Surfside Beach, South Carolina.

Aerial Storytelling From Sunrise to Sundown

Rather than producing a collection of disconnected flyovers, this drone project was structured as a chronological visual narrative, moving from early morning light through daytime activity and into evening atmosphere. This approach allows the viewer to experience the property as it naturally changes throughout the day.

The result is a piece that feels grounded in time, place, and movement, not just elevation.

Emphasizing Oceanfront Location & Coastal Context

The drone sequence highlights:

• The hotel’s direct proximity to the shoreline

• The surrounding coastline, beach access, and boardwalk areas

• The relationship between built space and natural environment

These aerial perspectives reinforce the hotel’s most valuable physical asset: its oceanfront location.

Planning, Flight Strategy & Safety

Lunch + Recess planned the drone flight paths and capture windows around:

• Time-of-day lighting conditions

• Coastal wind patterns

• Guest activity flow

• Safe, FAA-compliant operation

This allowed us to capture the calm, energy, and transition of the property without disrupting guests or daily hotel operations.

Post-Production & Visual Continuity

Editing focused on:

• Smooth pacing

• Natural light progression

• Visual continuity from morning to evening
  so that the drone piece could function as:

• A standalone cinematic reel

• Or a supporting asset alongside Surfside’s destination and amenities videos

Project Outcome

This hotel drone video content now serves as a location-establishing asset within Surfside Oceanfront Hotel’s broader hospitality marketing system. It strengthens the brand’s oceanfront positioning, enhances visual credibility across platforms, and provides versatile aerial coverage for both long-form and short-form use.
