When Ardmore Studios asked our geospatial firm to support the production of the recent Martin McDonagh film The Banshees of Inisherin, we worked closely with the filmmakers on five sets across the islands of Achill and Inishmore off the west coast of Ireland.
The film crew were extremely helpful, allowing us the time to capture sites digitally between shoots on the two sets on Achill and three on Inishmore. This involved laser scanning using high-definition surveying (HDS) laser scanners, and photogrammetry with digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs).
Geospatial Surveying or geomatics is all about collecting, processing and managing locational (or spatial) information in order to produce maps, construction drawings and models. The professional responsible for this is a geomatics surveyor. They model, analyse and manage information gathered from many sources, using satellites, drones, laser scanners, aerial cameras and advanced surveying and computing.
