To celebrate the holiday season, Sky Elements provided some happy drone news by creating the largest swarming light show ever to have flown in the United States.
Set to music, the light show created massive motion-filled scenes that captured the spirit of the holidays—a Thanksgiving turkey, a winter wonderland scene, a gingerbread village, and, of course, Santa’s sleigh with reindeer.
Making the holiday a little more magical in Mansfield, Texas, 4,981 drones lit up the sky to ring in the season.
Partnering with UVify, a manufacturer of swarm drones for light shows, the team
began the show with a lifelike turkey, full of movement and color, spreading wide its tail feathers. (See the video at the bottom…)
A wintery wonderland appeared next, centered around a massive snowman. A surreal gingerbread village also was featured, with candy cane street lamps and gumdrop rooftops. The sun sets on the cozy winter village as lights illuminate the homes and smoke billows out of the chimneys.
For the finale, Santa Claus in his sleigh with two reindeer, waved at the audience.
“We teamed up to create holiday cheer in a new, fun way: by making the largest gingerbread village… made entirely of drones,” said Preston Ward, Chief Pilot of Sky Elements.
“Not only did we spread the holiday spirit, but we also scored our 11th Guinness World Record.”
Flying the nearly 5,000 drones in formation was quite a feat for the private company, and it took 40 people to coordinate the exhibition.
“Shout out to our unforgettable pilots, crew leads, animators, and drone crew that made this all possible.”
