I am Teemu,
Freelance drone show designer
I design complete custom shows for drone show operators, from a concept or a script to choreography, previews and flight-ready delivery. I have designed more than 200 shows, usually for fleets from 50 to 300 drones, with projects up to 500 by scope.

Flight-ready drone show animation
I can take a concept, scene list or timecoded script and turn it into a coherent show with clear formations, purposeful movement, strong pacing and fast transitions. Whether you need a reliable designer for ongoing shows or extra capacity for a busy production period, I’m available.
Just set your fleet size, stage, deadline, platform requirements and review process. I adapt to your workflow, communicate clearly and treat revisions as normal production work. Your team retains final show control.
I focus on making the available fleet work hard: readable formations, visual impact, less dead time between scenes and movement that remains part of the spectacle.
About the designer
I am Teemu Eskola, an award-winning independent drone show animator with a background in advertising, creative direction and communication. I understand briefs, approvals, deadlines, changing requirements and client realities.
While making a show fly is a lot of production work, for the audience the finished show may be a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. That still matters. Drama is drama, whether on a TV screen, on an ad stand or in the sky.

What makes a great drone show design
Sure, a great drone show design is dazzling, elegant and powerful. This is what your client is paying for. The problem with these adjectives is that they are subjective. You have a thousand people in the audience so you have a thousand opinions. A senior designer delivers on these ten times out of ten. In…

How to brief a drone show designer
I have received a drone show brief that was 20 pages long (for a 12-minute show), and I have received a brief that was one sentence. Both required a fair bit of refining, but they both resulted in a great show. This is just my suggestion for a brief – it’s a guide to get…
Quick answers
How many drones do you design for?
Most commonly in the 100–500 range. I have occasionally done designs for bigger fleets too. I have also created a lot of smaller shows, including indoor shows with 10–20 drones.
Do you deliver flight-ready paths?
Yes. I can deliver full shows as flight-ready for a number of drone systems or a custom export for any specified file format. I can also deliver Blender projects when requested.
What information do you need for design?
I can work with fleet size, safety limits, show theme, delivery format and schedule. If you have a script, soundtrack, show area, reference images etc. available, they will be helpful.
Do you check safety margins and speeds?
Absolutely. All delivered shows are checked for the technical limitations of the target drone flight system and the show constraints.
Do you sell pre-made/stock images or shows?
No. All my shows are custom-made for each client. I’m happy to create reusable shows for you, that you can fly repeatedly. Alternatively, I can create template shows (like weddings, holidays etc) that we can customise cost-effectively for different clients.
