Section 01 — About
A PRODUCTION
TEAM THAT
FLIES.
Black Star UAV was built by two people who were already deep in the game before drones changed everything. Mike Botkin and Cory Doggett came up through broadcast, live production, commercial shoots, and documentary work — building the kind of experience that doesn't come from a YouTube tutorial.
When the aerial side of production matured, they were ready. Not because they bought a drone — but because they already knew how to make a great shot. FAA Part 107 certified, with credits spanning esports, major brands, live events, and cinematic work, they formed Black Star UAV in North Texas to do one thing well: give production teams and brands a serious aerial partner they can actually count on.

Section 03 — Why Us
WE DON'T JUST
FLY. WE
DIRECT.
Most drone operators point a camera up and call it content. We plan shots the way a director does — with a story, a purpose, and a reason for every move. Our broadcast and film roots mean we communicate in the language of production — and we've spent years earning that fluency on set.
