L.L. Bean Flagship Store - Drone Video Tour

Capturing the magic of a $50 million, 150,000 square foot retail experience.


As L.L.Bean put the finishing touches on its iconic flagship store in Freeport, Maine, Eastern Adventure stepped up to capture the new 150,000-square-foot retail experience through a cinematic FPV drone video tour. The video takes viewers on a continuous journey through the renovated L.L.Bean flagship—marking the first official unveiling of the highly-anticipated project.

Making a flight of this scale look effortless required months of FPV drone production, route mapping, flight testing, shot planning, and coordination. We worked closely with L.L.Bean’s marketing, store operations, facilities, safety, and production teams to choreograph more than 150 employees and participants throughout the store. Every flight path, transition, talent movement, and timing cue was mapped and tested before production, allowing us to turn a 150,000-square-foot retail environment into one seamless visual experience.
