Project description

The request

The SonneMondSterne Festival approached us a month before their event because they wanted to try something new at the festival. As a rehearsal for a regular drone show in the coming years, this year, in addition to the fireworks, a show was to take place.

The preparation

The client requested a very dynamic show to match the electronic music. To achieve this, we developed elements such as the running text and the character. Additionally, the show was to be flown behind a stage and over the lake. The lake also had varying water levels, which complicated the planning based on satellite images.

The realisation

The show was precisely timed, as it was integrated into the overall concept of the festival. We had to coordinate closely with the stage timetable, the fireworks team, and the two drone pilots.

The Conclusion

The client and the guests were very impressed by the drone show. For the SonneMondSterne Festival, it was a successful experiment. Larger shows with more drones are planned for the coming years.
