Aurora Drift

A 500-drone aerial show flown to a live orchestral score.

// THE BRIEF

Close a waterfront festival with a single eight-minute aerial finale, flown to a live orchestra and synced to ground effects — no pre-recorded fallback, no second take.

112 CRAFT — RTK POSITION · RGBW PAYLOADLAUNCH GRID — GEOFENCED · RETURN-TO-HOME
Choreography compiled from the score to per-craft position and color, flown autonomously off a geofenced launch grid.Formation
// THE RUN — DOORS TO LOAD-OUT
Load-in
Storyboard to airspace clearance handled in-house; launch grid set and surveyed, geofence and weather-abort logic armed.
Show
Swarm choreography compiled from the score and flown autonomously, frame-locked to the orchestra and synced to ground lighting and pyrotechnics for one eight-minute finale.
Load-out
Fleet recovered to the launch grid, batteries struck, airspace released — single night, single run.
// THE RESULT

One take, on the downbeat. The swarm hit every frame to the score; the finale ran exactly once and exactly right.
