Because of these stipulations, it can be difficult to find a drone operator with the required experience (especially since most localities require a license). This can make it challenging to find high caliber creative work despite the explosive trend. However, Glimmer’s Talent Discovery Experience is home to thousands of content creators that specialize in Drone Operator services, ensuring your Brand can soar into the future of content production.
