Aerial Cinematography in Los Angeles
Skyecam is a Los Angeles aerial cinematography and aerial video production company delivering cinematic drone footage for film, television, commercials, music videos, and live events. Since 2012 we’ve engineered and flown professional camera drones for some of the most demanding productions in entertainment — capturing the sweeping, dynamic aerial shots that traditional cranes and helicopters can’t.
Aerial cinematography is our foundation. Founder JJ Trinidad is one of Los Angeles’ first drone cinematographers, combining an engineer’s command of custom unmanned aircraft systems with a cinematographer’s eye for the shot. The result: drone cinematography that serves the story, not just the spectacle.

Aerial video production & drone filming
Whether you call it aerial cinematography, aerial video production, or drone filming, it’s the same craft: getting the camera into the air and moving it with intention. As a full-service Los Angeles aerial filming company, we handle the shoot end to end — scouting the move, matching the aircraft and camera to the shot, flying it safely on set, and delivering cinematic aerial filming that cuts straight into your production. From a single dramatic reveal to a full day of aerial coverage, we scale the crew and the rig to the job.
Why productions choose Skyecam for aerial cinematography
Real credits at the highest level. Our aerial cinematography spans work for HBO, Netflix, Disney, and National Geographic, and productions including Taylor Swift’s Reputation Tour, Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License,” Virgin Galactic, and the Spider-Man premiere — alongside dozens of films, series, commercials, and music videos.
Custom cinema drones & engineering. We build and fly our own unmanned aircraft systems, from agile camera drones to heavy-lift rigs carrying full cinema cameras and gimbals — so the aircraft is matched to the shot, not the other way around.
FAA-licensed, insured & safe. We operate under FAA Part 107 with waivers for advanced and night operations, and handle permitting and Film LA coordination so your shoot stays on schedule and in compliance.
Serving Los Angeles & beyond
Skyecam is based in Hollywood and provides aerial cinematography and drone filming throughout the Los Angeles metro — Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Orange County, Ventura, and Santa Barbara — and travels for productions worldwide.
