FROM A CINEMA PERSPECTIVE

Skymotion is a full-service aerial cinematography company based in the Netherlands with more than 15 years of experience in the film industry. We specialise in filming with moving camera platforms — helicopters, drones, fixed-wing aircraft — and we operate from a cinema perspective, not an aviation one.

How we got here

Skymotion grew out of the cinema-rig and helicopter world. Long before "drone operator" was a job title, we were rigging cameras on Cinestars and helicopters for Dutch and international productions. Our pilots are cinematographers first; our cinematographers are pilots second.

Where we work

Skymotion is based in the Netherlands but operates across Europe. We hold EU Specific category authorisation and Enhanced Containment certification. Read more on Rules of the Air →

We are not a drone company. We are camera operators who happen to fly — and every rig in our hangar exists to solve a shot the director already has in their head.
