About Fotofusi Surabaya Drone Hyperlapse Service
Fotofusi Surabaya is the aerial drone hyperlapse production branch with Kemenhub-certified pilots based in Greater Surabaya (Gerbangkertosusila). Our specialty: aerial hyperlapses for the industrial-heritage-natural landscapes distinctive to East Java — Suramadu Bridge from sunset into blue hour, Tanjung Perak Port with vessel activity time-lapses, Tugu Pahlawan with the 10 November heritage backdrop, Sanggar Agung Temple Kenjeran Beach sunset, Pakuwon City mega residential aerial, Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (GBT), the Rungkut SIER industrial estate, Gresik petrochemical complexes (Petrokimia, Semen Gresik/SIG), plus the legendary Bromo Tengger Semeru sunrise from Cemoro Lawang. Designed for Pakuwon-Ciputra property brands, Rungkut/SIER MNC manufacturers, Pelindo Tanjung Perak Port, Bromo destination hospitality, Surabaya Disparbud tourism, and East Java corporate launches.
What sets Surabaya hyperlapse apart from any other Indonesian city: the two most complex regulation zones in the country live here. First, Suramadu Bridge — drones are restricted across the bridge deck because it's vital national infrastructure (requires PUPR + AirNav coordination, sometimes BPTJ filings). Our team already has the SOP for that coordination — shooting from the parking area is free, but flying over the deck requires formal permits that usually take 5-10 business days before the shoot. Second, Bromo Tengger Semeru — a special drone permit from the TN BTS authority (Balai Besar Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru) in Probolinggo + BMKG filings during heightened volcanic activity. Plus the technical sub-zero challenge (4-8°C) at dawn 04:00-06:00 in Cemoro Lawang that drains drone batteries fast — we bring crew thermal gear + an extra battery pack kept warm inside sleeping bags.
Our model is curated assignment — the Fotofusi Surabaya quality team picks Kemenhub-certified KKOP pilots based around Tunjungan-Embong Malang-Pakuwon City CBD. Local pilots understand the Juanda Airport KKOP (4-9 km radius from Sidoarjo airport — max 50m AGL), Tanjung Perak Port NoTAMs (Pelindo III control zone), Tugu Pahlawan NoTAMs during the 10 November national ceremony, plus commercial shooting regulations across the Rungkut SIER industrial estate and Gresik petrochemicals (Petrokimia Gresik, Semen Gresik/SIG, Wilmar Nabati). For Jakarta clients booking a Surabaya shoot, we also handle pickup from Juanda Airport (30 min), Pasar Turi Station, or Gubeng Station.
Fotofusi Surabaya signature visual: the custom 'warm urban brass' LUT — a color grade that amplifies the brassy-amber industrial tone of Surabaya during golden hour (Tanjung Perak vessels, Hotel Majapahit's heritage roofline, Suramadu light strings at blue hour, Bromo's caldera at dawn). Not an auto preset. Not the generic cool-blue tone. A warm tone fit for the city of struggle that's also a luxury-industrial hub. Workflow: pre-production scouting via Google Earth + on-site survey + permit coordination with PUPR/AirNav/TN BTS → golden/blue hour priority shooting with manual exposure lock + multi-take insurance → post-production multi-pass stabilization (Warp Stabilizer + manual keyframe correction), deflicker, 'warm urban brass' LUT grading, music score. Payment held by Fotofusi until the brand confirms satisfaction — peace of mind for Pakuwon property launches, Shangri-La corporate MICE, or investor pitch decks.
All our pilots are Kemenhub-certified remote pilots (PM Perhubungan No. 37/2020) and understand the Juanda Airport KKOP (max 50m AGL within 4-9 km radius), Tanjung Perak Port NoTAMs (Pelindo III control zone), and commercial shoot regulations across Rungkut SIER + Gresik industrial estates.
Suramadu Bridge is a vital-infrastructure restricted zone. Our team has the PUPR + AirNav coordination SOP for formal flying-over-deck permits — typically 5-10 business days before the shoot. Clients don't need to chase permits themselves.
For Bromo sunrise hyperlapse from Cemoro Lawang, we handle the special TN Bromo Tengger Semeru permit, BMKG filings during high volcanic activity, plus crew thermal gear (sub-zero 4-8°C at dawn) + a warm-pack extra battery (up to 60% cold drain).
Bespoke color grading via our 'warm urban brass' LUT — the brassy-amber industrial-heritage tone distinctive to Surabaya at golden hour. Fits Suramadu blue hour, Tanjung Perak golden vessels, Tugu Pahlawan warm heritage, and Sanggar Agung Temple Kenjeran amber sunset.

Testimonials
Andre Wijaya
Property Developer Marketing Director · Pakuwon City, Surabaya · March 2026
“Our Pakuwon City property developer was launching a premium residential cluster and needed aerial hyperlapse for the project's web hero + investor pitch deck. The Fotofusi Surabaya team handled everything from plotting routes over Pakuwon City + Pakuwon Lake, management permits, all the way to final 'warm urban brass' color grading. Results were smooth, no flicker — the blue hour Pakuwon residential shot made our project look premium in the pitch deck. A Singapore PE investor signed the LOI right after preview.”
FAQ
12 common questions from wedding photography clients in Jogja.
Regular drone video = real-time recording (25/30/60 fps) while the drone flies — output duration equals shoot duration. Drone hyperlapse = interval recording (1 frame per 1–3 seconds) while the drone moves smoothly — 5 minutes shooting at Suramadu = 8–15 seconds output video showing sunset to blue hour + bridge traffic + cloud movement over the Madura Strait. Visually far more dramatic, ideal for Pakuwon/Ciputra property hero shots or Pelindo III pitch decks.
Packages start at Rp 2.5M (Single Hyperlapse — 1 hero shot 8–15 seconds at Suramadu/Tugu Pahlawan/Pakuwon/Kenjeran). Popular Series Aerial Rp 5.3M (3 hyperlapses × 1 day shoot + compilation reel). Brand Campaign Rp 10.5M (6 hyperlapses × 2 days multi-location across Greater Surabaya). Largest Cinematic Film Rp 19.6M (10+ hyperlapses + 2–3 minute film, including Bromo destination with H-1 Cemoro Lawang stay + 4WD jeep). Pricing already reflects Surabaya's tier (1.4× baseline).
Suramadu Bridge is a vital-infrastructure restricted zone. Two scenarios: (1) Shooting from the Suramadu parking area on either the Surabaya or Madura side — free, just fly toward the bridge from legal positions outside the restricted zone. (2) Flying over the bridge deck — requires formal coordination with PUPR (as bridge manager) + AirNav Indonesia (as airspace manager). The Fotofusi Surabaya team handles this formal permit — usually 5-10 business days before the shoot. Clients don't have to chase it themselves.
Bromo hyperlapse is the legendary signature shot. Workflow: (1) TN BTS permit from the Balai Besar Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru in Probolinggo (we handle this 5-7 days before the shoot). (2) H-1 stay in Cemoro Lawang (4 hours drive from Surabaya city via the Pandaan-Pasuruan-Probolinggo Toll Road) — crew lodging included in Cinematic Film. (3) 03:30 dawn 4WD jeep to Penanjakan or Bukit Cinta for 04:30-06:00 sunrise. (4) Crew thermal gear (sub-zero 4-8°C dawn + strong wind) + warm-pack extra batteries (cold drain up to 60%). (5) BMKG filings during high volcanic activity. Bromo dry season April-October is optimal.
Yes — Juanda Airport in Sidoarjo has a KKOP (Kawasan Keselamatan Operasi Penerbangan) with a 4-9 km radius. Within this zone, commercial drones max 50m AGL (not the standard 150m). Plus dynamic NoTAM zones during VVIP flights. All Fotofusi Surabaya KKOP pilots carry up-to-date Juanda KKOP maps + Tanjung Perak helipads + TNI-AL Juanda base + live AirNav NoTAM access. Much of southern Surabaya (Rungkut, SIER, Tenggilis) falls inside the Juanda KKOP — we're fully compliant.
Yes — we specialize in East Java industrial commercial shoots. For Rungkut SIER (Unilever, P&G affiliates, Sampoerna PMI, Wings, Garudafood, Maspion) and Gresik (Petrokimia Gresik, Semen Gresik/SIG, Wilmar Nabati): mandatory company management permits + safety briefing + safety gear (helmet, safety shoes, fluorescent vest). Our team brings the safety kit standby. Official PT invoices (PPh 23 / PPN compliant) available for Coupa/Ariba/SAP/Oracle Fusion procurement — key for MNC manufacturers.
9 Greater Surabaya areas + Bromo destination: (1) Suramadu Bridge sunset-blue hour (drone restricted zone — PUPR + AirNav coordination), (2) Tanjung Perak Port vessel activity time-lapse (Pelindo III NoTAM), (3) Tugu Pahlawan 10 November heritage (Disparbud), (4) Sanggar Agung Temple Kenjeran Beach sunset, (5) Pakuwon City mega residential aerial + Pakuwon Lake, (6) Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (GBT) Pakal, (7) Rungkut SIER industrial estate, (8) Gresik petrochemical estate, (9) Tunjungan heritage + Hotel Majapahit + Kya-Kya Kembang Jepun. Plus destination: legendary Bromo Tengger Semeru sunrise from Cemoro Lawang.
The 'warm urban brass' LUT is a custom Fotofusi Surabaya color grade — a color science preset that amplifies the brassy-amber industrial-heritage tone distinctive to Surabaya at golden hour and blue hour. Fits: Tanjung Perak vessels at sunset, Suramadu light strings transitioning into blue hour, Hotel Majapahit + Tugu Pahlawan heritage rooflines, Bromo's caldera at sunrise, Sanggar Agung Temple Kenjeran amber sunset. Not a generic Hollywood auto LUT preset — a warm tone befitting Surabaya's struggle-industrial-luxury identity.
For 10 seconds video output @ 25 fps = 250 frames. With a 2 second per-frame interval (standard), that's 500 seconds = 8–9 minutes of pure flight time. Add setup, framing, multi-take (3–5 takes insurance), so the total per-shot shoot typically runs 30–45 minutes. For a 1-day Surabaya shoot we can complete 5–8 hyperlapses including location moves (Tunjungan → Suramadu → Kenjeran → Pakuwon). Golden hour priority — we stage shoot times within the optimal window: Suramadu sunset 17:00-18:00 + Sanggar Agung 17:30 + Pakuwon blue hour 18:00-19:00.
Yes, drones cannot fly in: wind > 25 km/h (check BMKG — important for Suramadu exposed to Madura Strait wind), rain/drizzle, thick fog (important for Bromo sunrise), visibility < 1 km. We check weather forecasts 3 days before + on the shoot morning. Surabaya rainy season runs November-March (peak January-February brings flood points in Wonokromo/Margorejo/Rungkut) — outdoor shoots get shifted or one free reschedule. Bromo dry season April-October is optimal (clear sunrise view). Pacet/Trawas/Tretes highlands during rainy season get afternoon fog + slippery roads.
Milestone payments via Fotofusi Escrow. Single Hyperlapse, Series Aerial: 30% deposit at booking + 70% after final delivery approved. Brand Campaign: 30% deposit + 40% when shooting complete + 30% at delivery. Cinematic Film: 30% deposit + 30% when Greater Surabaya shooting wraps + 30% when Bromo shooting + all hyperlapses delivered + 10% when the final cinematic film is approved. Brand funds are held in the escrow account and released only after satisfaction confirmation per milestone. Official PT invoices (PPh 23/PPN) available.
Yes — the Chinese-Surabaya community is very strong (Kya-Kya Kembang Jepun, Pasar Atom, Pakuwon City, with many CBD entrepreneurs speaking the Hokkien dialect). The Fotofusi Surabaya team includes Mandarin-fluent crew (some Hokkien-conversational) for Chinese-Surabaya entrepreneur clients booking property or corporate hyperlapses. Plus an understanding of Chinese-Surabaya business etiquette — critical for briefing meetings + delivery presentations.
