How does a drone light show work?

The process for creating a show is usually straightforward and it depends on the complexity of the show. First, the design team creates a storyboard timeline showing the desired images and effects requested. These looks are then animated in a specialized piece of software that translates them into synchronized flight paths for each drone, and usually, a soundtrack is created to accompany the show. The completed shows are sent to the drones via radio signal from a ground control station operated by a pilot. When the pilot is satisfied that everything is safe and ready to go, the show starts, and the drones take off to draw the storyboard in the sky.
