About Us
The Team
Based in California and founded in 2016, Drone Studios was originally an aerial filming and photography company. We shifted our focus to drone shows in 2022 and became the first company to bring the magic of aerial animations to downtown San Diego’s waterfront.
Jeff Stein and Seth Clark are licensed drone pilots with creative and technical backgrounds. Jeff Stein has a degree in engineering from UC Santa Barbara and has been a licensed drone pilot since 2016 which enhanced his creative ability as a videographer and photographer. He considers himself an entrepreneur, pilot, engineer and most importantly as an artist as he designs and storyboards most of our shows.
Seth Clark has an engineering degree from University of Iowa and is a talented drone pilot, photographer and videographer outside of his role as a drone show operator.
Iryna Sinanis was born and raised in Ukraine and became an American citizen back in 2019. She has a background in interior design and is a valuable asset in designing drone shows and drone show operations.
Our mission is to establish trust with our clients and the authorities so we can bring more of this magic to California’s skies. We strive to transcend creative boundaries and exceed client expectations through planning, collaboration and innovation with our team of experienced drone operators and drone show designers.
