Spectacular. I'm a retired professional fireworks operator. I used to believe nothing else could match the sensory experience of fireworks. I've now seen water fountains come pretty close, in Dubai and drones are definitely going beyond.

Absolutely. Some of the great shows that I have seen are where they have had fireworks and drone's together. I think we are in the beginnings of greater things to come.

How about a Drone platform to launch Fireworks from a higher altitude?

I honestly don’t think so, it’s all a bit slow and no sound. Can’t beat the spectacle of fireworks, it’s the bangs and lights that make it. While impressive, drones are a long way off the excitement of fireworks.

I'm retired lighting guy and had the honor of doing shows with fireworks (NYC 4th of July in 80's - early 90's) and like you, I didn't think what we were doing then could be beat. Then along comes the drones. Makes me realize I retire way too early. OUTSTANDING JOB SKYELEMENTS!!!!!!!!!

@@Yosser70 You haven't yet seen the proper shows then. Drones can be as fast and dynamic as fireworks. The only thing you can't have with drones are the bangs (but I reckon that's an extremely good thing for each and every animal in the city!!!) The show showcased in this video was one of the most boring drone shows I have ever seen. Who cares if there were 1001 drones... It was dead boring, slow paced, hardly any movement (if at all); they were all static images. Sorry Sky Elements.... (eventhough I know the learning curve is very steep for stuff like this)
My first drone show, I'm 71. I think about how my grandparents would have reacted. Incredible!

Props...? what is your definition of this word "Props" please, me no understand modern slang language.
From the Wright Bros... to Space shuttles to the Moon... to the outrageous precision of proximity flying... It's truly astonishing.
Not only amazing, but absolutely beautiful coverage from the air, ground and FPV. World-Class!
That was realy amazing! Never seen something like this. Thank you Sky Elements Drone Shows and greatings from Germany!
AWESOME! Thanks so much for posting this incredible show. The future approaches us and it lookes amazing.
This is amazing; I am the owner of a rescue dog, who must have had some bad experiences in her previous life, meaning that fireworks really scare her. She is a large dog but if there are fireworks going off she lies on me shaking, with each bang in the sky met with uncontrollable quivers right through her body. I fear she would try to run away if we didn’t sit with her as there is absolute panic in her eyes. I wish those people letting off the fireworks could see this panic, as it might make them reconsider. I admit that I have let off fireworks before in my life, but I had not witnessed the fear they can produce in animals. A previous dog was a gun dog, and he would just get excited as he thought he would be retrieving some pheasants or partridges. But I hope that these stunning shows will replace fireworks, certainly in built up areas. I have been to firework displays too in the past, and at least there dog owners could choose to take their dogs out of the area for the time of the fireworks, although personally I would prefer it if even those shows were held well away from built up areas. My dog had been a stray dog at one period in her life before she was rescued, and I can only imagine that on nights like 31 December, she would have just run in complete panic, and an 80kg dog has the potential to cause a nasty car crash should she run across roads.
I'm 63. Thank you for showing me what the future will be. Amazing!!!
That was amazing, the possibilities are endless .... imagine being able to give directions in an emergency, highlight a safe zone, send a message, send an image, send peace ....
I love how drone shows are growing in popularity. I would love to see a show in person.
This is even better than fireworks! I did not realize drones could put on a 3D light show (and another drone flies through it: cool!). Salute to the geniuses who came up with this idea and executed it.
This is the most spectacular light show I have ever seen. I can't even begin to imagine the mathematics involved to ensure the drones don't crash into each other. Truly AWESOME!!!!
This is fascinating. How can people say it's boring lol. Appreciate the efforts and skills went into this. This is just the beginning. It's slow now but can't wait to see the differences years from now.
Absolutely amazing!! Congratulations to all the Sky Elements team.
Wonderful!!! Thank you for this incredible show!!
4:46 I can only imagine what drivers on the highway thought when they saw this!
The programming that went into this was amazing. Beautiful job, Thank you, and Happy New Year.
The Seattle fireworks show was done using drones this New Years Eve. So amazing to see new technology. I love that I’ve lived to see the development of computers from the clunky beginning to now coordinating the flights of drones for an air show. I hope I live for another 30 years, who knows what might be developed.
That has DEFINITELY got to be the best drone light show I've ever seen. Other drone light shows have all been done with 'static' images, sometimes with occasional...but, very minimal...'moving' images. This show was done almost entirely with 'moving' images. I'd go so far as to call this "drone light animation". 👍🏼👍🏼 🤙🏼

If you have to think of the technical work that went into it to find it amazing, then the show missed the mark.
This is by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen on KZread
Drones must be the number one best invention of the last few decades, they have so many applications for exploration and study of places impossible to see otherwise.
Thank you so much for putting this up on KZread. I've been really ill during this holiday season and am slowly recovering. I had heard about this and wanted to go see it, but fate had other plans unfortunately. I love it absolutely love it! 😍 I hope next year or perhaps this 4th of July you will have another show such as this and I get to attend it. Bravo!!
Amazing work guys and you beat the record ! Congratulations !
Just stunning. Thanks for all you do. I’m sure it brought and sill bring much more joy that day and in the years ahead. Best of wishes in 2023
Mocern technology is mind boggling!! Hours and hours of programming must have gone into the light show! WELL DONE!!
Beyond phenomenal! Wish there was a way to integrate something like this with our 300 Jeep Christmas light parade here in SW Florida next year. ❤️ this!!!
Drone footage flying thru a drone show is very meta
It amazes me what good can come from new and emerging technologies these days. Keep up the great work inspiring others for good!
A timeless message shown through amazing technology! Thank you so much Sky Elements!
absolutely wonderful ! this is more than we could have ever dreamed when i was growing up. the sky is not the limit anymore. what you could with this and real fireworks on the 4th oh my.
Oh, I enjoyed that very much! 1001 drones...hard to imagine how you did this. Thank you. ⭐️
Beautiful! This is the third millenium I was waiting for. Thx for making this happen!
Well, this was much better than fireworks! The whole idea with a radio show and drones is just fantastic, great way to get people to come together.
Great job guys!! ❄️🌲🚂
I have never seen anything like it! This technology and creativity are nothing less than phenomenal!
i am reminded of the first computer games of the 80's with very basic graphics that seemed so realistic at the time. Imagine how much that has changed in the following decades and no doubt the years to come will bring about displays by drones that will blow our minds with unimaginable creativity.
Just randomly found this and I absolutely love it perfect show
Oh my gosh as long as i been flyin drones this is the most amazing thing i have ever seen compliments to all .
this reminds me of the beginning of laser shows at music festivals in the late 90's, quite a basic graphical presentation from a viewers POV, but there is a real appreciation for the technology and its future.
Whow, how great that is. Stunning, I have never seen anything like this. Much more impressive than any firework. Great job.
I’ve never seen a drone light show. This was incredible!♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I would love a behind the scenes look at how these shows are made.
Stunning! I haven't been this impressed with light shows since I saw the Genesis, "Seconds Out" tour and their lasers back in 1977. To the fireworks folks (of which I'm one) who say this doesn't compare; well it doesn't compare to watching horse racing either but it's not competing with that, and it's obviously not in the big bang competition at all. It's different. I love fireworks as much as the next pyromaniac, but for a different reason. It's equally stunning that we've come this far technologically.
I hope you guys start to tour around Christmas time and come to Connecticut next year. Simply amazing
I’m having a bad case of the shivers. Thank you for creating so much beauty in the sky and broadcasting such a wonderful story to accompany the largest show of drones! You rock!

Fascinating beyond belief! Reminds me of the huge bird flocks over the fields in the fall. I imagine collision avoidance is most difficult.
Wow and wow! Being flown through the drones on a drone was stunning….cheers from New Zealand. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Outstanding., loved the story and the amazing light show. Thank you for sharing! I look forward to seeing more of this fantastic art!
Drones have come along way. I saw it first introduced at a AMA (Modeling show in Pasadena Calif. I didn't think it would go anywhere. Boy was I wrong. Good Job!
I think a small fireworks show combined with a huge drone show would be the perfect combination for a fantastic celebration of New Years or the 4th of July. Saw my 1st drone show at the Garth Brooks concert in Missouri this year and it was absolutely AMAZ-Z-Zing!!
Super impressed how you all have made this work. Your handling of the logistics that go into such a show are top notch. From assembling, fixing, placing, coding, tagging, storing, moving, setting up and charging the drone fleet, to working out the patterns, the show, the narratives, to your decent sized staff. The various permitting requirements, local challenges, the weather, the place to launch from, the other local businesses involved. And then to make it work inside a business model on top of that. Impressive! Fantastic! Challenging! Awesome! Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Definitely made my family smile, and the only thing they thought about was how cool the story was with the drones! Cheers!
Never heard of these drone shows. This was truly awesome! Thx&see ya😁
The strobing white light is my coverage of this show 😂
AMAZING!!!
So many drones! the story made me cry :')
This is fantastic, so beautiful. Hopefully one day I’ll be lucky enough to see a performance in person, I’m totally blown away by this!🤙🏻👋👋👋👋
Wow❣️ Thank you❣️ Merry Christmas ❣️
While it is pretty cool, this is scary as hell. This will and is becoming an extremely effective weapon system and to think you can control thousands of these with software at the individual drone level and the totality should alarm everyone.
Would love to read a short, not too technical story about how the drone programming was done. Also, the brand, make, and model of the drones, and the cost for each drone. Should have been a million more cars parked/people watching, too.
Spectacular show, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
AWESOME. Great story and visuals. Thnak you for sharing.
That's the first drone show I've ever seem...quite amazing
What a REMARKABLE show!!! Thank you for sharing this technological wizardry with us!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Caught your show at the air show in Arlington WA last summer. Very cool.
Just wonderful. All the way around this was fantastic. Wow, just wow.
Amazing technology, great work. Actually did the entire thing without mentioning what Christmas was about. Amazing.
Was ignorant having the parking lot lights on for this but very cool non the less! Cant wait to see what you guys come up with and I can see the end for the need to have fireworks!
Whew! Would imagine the algorithms for this are a bit complicated! LOL Thanks for sharing and the best of luck!
