Douglas Spotted Eagle
Director of Client Experiences, The LiDAR PROs

Director of Educational Programming, Sundance Media Group

With a 40-year background as a producer, Douglas literally jumped into the world of aerial imaging as a skydiving cinematographer and photographer producing for Sony, Microsoft, Lenovo, GoPro, Blackmagic Design, and many television/film projects.

UAS became a means of capturing events closer to the ground and in 2010, Douglas began flying UAS commercially, producing projects for television news, commercials, and small budget film. In 2012, Douglas and his partner in Sundance Media Group, produced the first known training event at NAB for “Dronalism”, training journalists how to add UAS to their production kits.

With Grammy and Emmy awards on the wall, today Douglas works with not just cinematography work; in 2015 his work expanded to forensics and public safety applications. Forensics, requiring precise and accurate data, led him into the AEC and inspection industries with a focus on LiDAR and photogrammetry.   

Douglas has authored several books on topics relevant to commercial UAS operations, drawing from his experiences with Sundance Media Group and the LiDAR PROs.  Douglas is UA industry leader and a frequent speaker and consults on a variety of sUAS use cases all with a focus on incorporating his years of imaging and aviation experience into best-practices for everything drone/UAV/UAS.

Through the LiDAR PROs, Douglas has worked with Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 businesses since 2018.
