How Do Drone Light Shows Work

Chances are, you have probably witnessed the jaw-dropping sight of a drone light show, either online or live. From logos and portraits of Drone Light Show Company in India to realistic portraits and even recreations of Hollywood blockbusters with fireworks and all that jazz, these impressive displays of lighting create stunning displays that take our breath away!

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) could fly together in perfect sync. These agile drones demonstrated incredible abilities such as performing impressive aerial tricks, aiding construction projects, and aiding search and rescue operations. Thanks to efforts by companies, this game-changing technology gained widespread interest within entertainment industries; drawing audiences and becoming popular. Now Drone Light Show India are popular additions at events, entertainment shows, marketing promotions, and special occasions; including:

Entertainment spectacles with myriads of sparkling lights;experimental art installations;interactive programs;promotions;congratulatory messages in the sky;and dynamic visuals for musical shows are just a few ways in which entertainment spectacles may make an impressionful statement about an organization's values or commitment. And this is only scratching the surface of what's possible.

While UAVs may appear autonomous, show drones require skilled pilots on the ground for safe flight and assistance during their shows. After all, every piece of drone art requires testing beforehand as well as having some support during performance. Now that we've mentioned people, let us acknowledge those responsible behind each piece of drone artwork!

Your Average Drone Light Show Team

What exactly makes up a drone show team? Well, it includes engineers and designers (someone must engineer the copters), 3D animators who create flight missions from concepts, pilots to test and support synchronized drones during performances and logistics staff for logistics work, content creation before, during, and post event as well as legal formalities and any legal formalities required - but those are just the members you can see here; also take note that legal formalities need to be completed before beginning production begins!

What drones are used for drone displays?

At its core, a drone light display involves many talented individuals as well as multiple drones.

As is evident by now, not any copter is suitable for drone displays; considering there are UAVs weighing more than 600 kg that could dwarf even small airplanes in size! For light art performances using drones, we typically utilize quadcopters specifically designed to withstand aerial performances; they come equipped with colorful LEDs, batteries and antennas for aerial performances.

Navigation and spatial positioning are paramount when it comes to show drone design. Show drones may include features designed to improve their stability and maneuverability, making intricate light formations seamless. In general, show drones tend to be much smaller than their counterparts used elsewhere - which aids their maneuverability even further. Weight also matters: too small of a drone may struggle in gusts of wind; too heavy may take too much time in taking off, landing, and repositioning itself which reduces its dynamic performance qualities.

The exact models chosen can depend on the requirements of any particular show; popular choices include DJI Phantoms, Inspires, Shooting Stars from Intel and custom-built drones like Cyberdrone's own show drone - perfect as Cyberdrone can handle its maintenance independently!

There is also an impressive type of show drones called pyrodrones. As its name implies, these drones leave behind an impressive trail of fire that creates spectacular fireworks displays in the sky - like an illuminated dragon breathing actual flames! Such shows may currently be less common than traditional light displays but who knows what their future holds!

The Companion: Ascension Ascension Of The Cybermen

Whoops, it’s been a while since I updated...but hey! This is the penultimate episode!

Sam Tate is my OC! If you’d like to know more about them or the Companion, shoot me an ask or a message

@theaussietimelord

*********************************

Sam

“Question. Would you like some help?” As the Doctor asks the question, the woman in front of us whips out a blaster. Just as quickly, my own is trained on her.

“Don’t try it.” I tell her, shifting the canon that’s resting on my other shoulder.

“You don’t need to use that against us.” the Doctor tells her.

“Who are you?” the man of the group asks. There’s three of them, man, woman and child. I’m not sure if they’re a family or not. “Where’d you come from?”

“Doctor, Graham, Ryan, Yaz and Sam. Don’t worry about where we’re from, concentrate on how we can help.” the Doctor tells him. In response, the woman wavers, but then she looks at me and her aim steadies.

“After you.” I nod. She hesitates before putting her blaster down. The second she has, the Doctor turns to the fam,

“Right. Set this all up like I showed you.” she tells them. I stay put, holstering my blaster and swapping it for the canon on my shoulder. With any luck, it should get through any shields the Cybermen have around them. The fam all split up in different directions except for Ryan, who I know is somewhere behind me. I can hear the Doctor talking to the man that seems to have proclaimed himself leader, but neither of them are loud enough for me to hear anything they’re saying. This is all that’s left of humanity. Six or seven people in the whole world. All killed, deleted by Cybermen. There’s going to be an attack here, and we’re going to try and stop it.

A finger jabs into my arm and a pained noise slips out of my mouth, the canon swinging wildly as I try to balance it again.

“The hell are you doing?” I ask, and I don’t make an effort to disguise my anger.

“What ‘appened to you then?” the man who’d poked me asks. He pokes my bandaged arm again, and I hit him.

“Stop it! I burnt myself, alright? Bugger off if all you’re going to do is prod me.” I tell him. The burn’s a couple of weeks old now, but it still hurts like hell.

“Yedlarmi.” is all he says in response, holding out his hand for me to shake. I have to put the canon down to do this. “Wassat?” he asks, pointing at the canon.

“It’s a really big gun.” I tell him impatiently. There’s a loud bang somewhere in the distance, and I can hear the Doctor yelling,

“Activation time, fam!”

“Get your people and hide. Hide, okay? Don’t run.” I tell him. He hesitates, and I shove him towards half of a building. “Yedlarmi. Go!” when he starts running, grabbing another man and pulling him with him, I lug the canon back up onto my shoulder. There’s a different noise then. A kind of…whooshing. The Doctor sees them first.

“Cyberdrones!”

Cyberman heads, flying in formation towards us. Bullets of lasers causing a small explosion where the Doctor had set up her own instruments.

“Fam, get down! They’re targeting the defences!” the Doctor yells, just before Ryan’s machines go up in flames.

“Graham!” I hear his name before I realise it’s coming from me. I take a shot at one of the drones before they can take a shot at him. Two of them go down in the blast. The downside is that now…well, now they’re aiming at me. “Shit, shit, shit.” the canon is too heavy to throw, so I just drop it and run. Well, I try to run. I hear the lasers, hear the boom. I can feel myself being thrown back by the explosion, feel my head as it cracks onto the ground, and then I can’t really feel anything.

***

Ringing. All Sam can hear is ringing, and then a voice. Saying their name. Their name, over and over again. And then a different word, a word that makes their eyes snap open. Cybermen.

“Sam. Sam! Sam, please, the Cybermen are comin’ and Yaz an’ Graham are gone. Sam!” Ryan. It’s Ryan. Sam sits up quicker than they should, pain rocketing through their head. “Sam!”

“Ryan. Ryan, what did you say about-” Sam cuts themselves off. They can hear them. Cybermen. Three sets of footsteps. They can’t see the Cyberman. Sam isn’t sure if they’d landed behind this wall or if Ryan had dragged them over here. Sam’s hands have pulled out their blaster and readied it before they can think, an automatic response to the sound of the Cybermen. There’s a voice there, in the back of their head, a memory screaming a name they feel like they should know.

“Where are Graham and Yaz?”

“I don’t know, we got separated. What do we do?” Ryan asks as the heavy, robotic steps of the Cybermen fade.

“You let me go first.” Sam tells him, pushing up onto their feet, but wobbling when they get there. “Woah. Oh, that felt weird.”

“Are you hurt?”

“A bit.” Sam mumbles. The tip of their tongue pokes out of their mouth as they deliberate. Sam would be fine on their own, but they have to protect Ryan, and to do that, “The Doctor. We find her. And you let me go first, okay?”

“You’ve met the Cybermen before, haven’t you?”

“Oh, just one of the few hundred alien life forms that have been hunting me down for the last few centuries. None of them have killed me yet. Worst case scenario, I’ll be a good distraction. They get me, you keep running, okay?”

“Are you sure you can run?” Ryan asks. Sam reaches up to their head. Both of them wince at the same time as Sam touches their head. Their hand comes away smeared with blood, which they then wipe onto their trousers before reaching into their jacket to fish out the beanie that’s stuffed into the pocket and pull it onto their head.

“Nothing that won’t heal.” Sam tells Ryan, picking up their blaster again and ramping it up a couple levels. Sam walks a few steps, pauses for a moment with their hand on the wall, and the pushes off and walks out into the open as they say, in an almost sing-song voice, “If you see a Cyberman, don’t forget to scream.”

Sam wobbles a little as they walk, but less and less as they progress, Ryan close behind. Every so often he reaches out to touch Sam’s shoulder. Both of them turn at the same time to the sound of an explosion and a loud bang followed closely by a yell.

“Graham.” Ryan says quietly, and there’s fright there.

“This way.” Sam tells him, moving towards the old broken building the sounds had come from. There’s an opening to go through, and there’s someone talking. The voice…it’s not fully Cyberman, but there’s a definite robotic edge to it. Shelley. The incomplete Cyberman Graham had told Sam about. Sam stops suddenly, and Ryan bumps into them. The leader, the man who had spoken with the Doctor. Feekat. Lifeless on the floor next to an exploded wall.

“What is it?” Ryan asks, trying to whisper.

“Feekat. He’s dead.” Sam tells him. “The boy…the boy, the Cyberman’s talking to him.”

“-Spread my message. Tell them, ‘Be afraid. All humanity have been erased. All life will fall. And the Cybermen will rise again.’”

“Oh, I don’t think so, sunshine.” Sam calls out, moving forward, blaster aimed at Shelley. “I don’t think we’ve been introduced. I’m the spanner in the works.” they can see the Doctor behind the Cyberman, can tell that Ryan’s seen her too as he moves closer to Sam. She’s holding what looks like a Plan B Bomb. “The Cybermen aren’t going anywhere.”

“Not if I have anything to do with it.” the Doctor says, pulling Shelley’s attention away from Sam, Ryan and the boy and towards the Doctor instead. The red thing in her hand starts beeping.

“Ryan, go.” Sam says, and he darts past the Cyberman without question. Sam steps towards the boy, “You go too. There’s nothing you can do for Feekat now.” after a second’s hesitation, in which the Doctor throws the bomb, Sam grabs him and pulls him along with them. As the Cyberman goes boom behind them, all four of them rush out of the building.

“Doctor!” Ryan shouts as they run, “We’ve got to find Yaz and Graham!”

“I saw them get on the Gravraft. They’re gone.” the boy tells him, and both he and Ryan stop.

“What?”

“Concentrate, Ryan,” the Doctor tells him, “we have to get out of here. We can’t make it to the TARDIS-”

“Wait!” Sam tells the Doctor, lifting their wrist. They can teleport everyone to the TARDIS. “Ah beans. My teleport’s broken.” the screen of it is covered in cracks, and there’s a button or two missing. A copper wire pokes out of the side, the coating ripped off.

“-no teleport, no escape ship, a relentless Cyberman and very limited options. Well. One option. How fast are you feeling?”

“Uh, Doc, I don’t think-” Sam starts, but the Doctor’s already taken off.

“Alright?” Ryan asks.

“I think I have to be. Let’s go.” Sam tells him, darting after the Doctor even as it feels like their head is going to rock right off their shoulders. The Doctor’s running all the way to where the Cyberships landed.

“Are we going to steal their ship?” Ryan asks, shouting as he runs.

“Yes we are!” the Doctor answers.

***

Sam hisses at their teleport.

“This would be so much easier if I had anything other than Cyber tech.”

“Will Cyber tech not work?” Ryan asks.

“Well, it would, but it would then try and take over the entire system. That’s what the Cybermen do, they latch onto something, anything, and upgrade it.”

“Upgrade?”

“That’s what they call it.” Sam says, leaning further down over their teleport, which sparks again. “When they delete your free will, your emotions, turn you into one of them.” Sam pauses for a moment, “I didn’t want to be the one to give you this talk, mate, but once you’ve crossed that line of deletion, there’s no going back. You have no control over yourself anymore. Your only function is to delete humanity and build the Cyberman army.” Sam looks up at Ryan, “If they’ve gotten Graham or Yaz and they’ve gone too far, we can’t get them back.”

“But-”

“You can’t, Ryan. I knew someone who thought they could reverse the process. Use the technology to save life rather than delete it, but they couldn’t. Had to kill someone they loved.” Sam tells him. They know the story, but for the life of them can’t remember who that person was. “I need you to understand.”

“I do.” Ryan says quietly, not very surely, “I…I do.”

“I’m sorry.” Sam adds, as an afterthought. They are sorry, but they’re not going to sugar-coat the situation. They won’t give him false hope. Not like the Doctor would.

“We’re here!” almost as if on cue, the Doctor’s voice rings through the ship. Ryan turns and leaves instantly, not stopping to wait for Sam as they use the wall beside them to get to their feet. They move down the corridor back to where the Doctor and the boy are, “Shuttle calling Ko Sharmus. Anyone hear me? Anyone there on Ko Sharmus, talk to me. Please? What I’d give for a friendly voice right now. Go on. Please? Shuttle calling Ko Sharmus.” the Doctor says. Sam has just stepped into the cockpit when they hear,

Ko Sharmus responding. Hello?

“We’ve made it!” the boy cries excitedly. Sam still doesn’t know his name yet.

“This is the Doctor, who’s that?” the Doctor asks.

I’ve told you, this is Ko Sharmus.

“Ko Sharmus? You’re a person, not a planet?”

Who are you? What do you want?

“We’re human.” the boy tells him, “We’ve come to cross the Boundary.”

No, I don’t think so.

“What do you mean?” the Doctor asks.

There are no more humans.

“We’re right here.” Sam says, voice hushed. “We’re human. We’ve hijacked a Cybership, but there are no Cybermen. Just us. And there are more humans out there, coming here.”

“Very looking forward to meeting you.” the Doctor adds.

***

Ko Sharmus, as it turns out, is an old man. An old, old man with white hair and beard, dressed in reddish-earth tones. He’s got a stick almost as tall as he is.

“I don’t believe it.” Sam hears him say as the group reaches him, “There’s me having lost all hope.”

“Consider us your hope restored.” the Doctor tells him, “I’m the Doctor. This is Ryan, Sam and Ethan.” each of them nod as the Doctor says their name. “Do you mind if I have a shufty around? How are your defences here?” the Doctor doesn’t wait for an answer, gesturing for her companions to follow her, “Come on.” Sam hesitates. This whole place is hilly grassland, where they’re standing the top of a cliff. It’s incredible. Untouched apart from the small network of tents not far off that the Doctor is headed towards.

“Did this settlement start with you?” the Doctor asks when all of them are inside. It’s incredible here too, massive pipes serving as tunnels, the roofs and walls all made up of swathes of fabric or netting.

“Yes.” Ko Sharmus answers, “Myself and a handful of others fleeing from the Cybercamps.”

“So you fought in the war?” the boy, Ethan, asks.

“Yes. For a long time. Then I was captured and held in a human interment camp for processing, sent for an upgrade. I was one of the lucky ones who got away. We’d heard tell of this place. We didn’t really believe it, but we managed to get here. The war hadn’t made it this far, so we built shelter and, over time, others came. The word spread.” Ko Sharmus answers as he guides the group. He reaches what seems to be the centre of the whole place, and Sam and the Doctor’s head tip back to look at the ceiling of it, higher than the rest of the shelter.

“So where’s everyone else?” Ethan asks.

“There’s only me.” Ko Sharmus tells him, “I helped everyone else through the Boundary. And then, cause I’m an idiot,” he pauses momentarily, “felt like it was my duty to wait in case others came. But it’s been a long time.”

“You sacrificed your own life on the chance others were still out there.” the Doctor says.

“You make it sound more noble than it is.”

“It is noble.” Sam tells him, “You were right. We’re here.”

“So it’s true? The Boundary, it’s real?” Ethan asks.

“Of course it’s real.” Ko Sharmus tells him, almost sounding amused by Ethan’s question.

“Will you show us?” the Doctor asks.

***

Sam is still staring at the impossible Boundary. Oddly purple, stretching all the way up to the sky. Sam isn’t sure how wide it is. If they stepped through, would it be just one step? Or would they have to walk for a certain amount of time before reaching the other side? Where does it lead to? Ko Sharmus had said it led to another galaxy. What if it was one Sam had been to before? Or not? How had the Boundary been created? Was it natural? So many questions about this impossible thing.

-All frequencies. A voice is crackling through Ko Sharmus’ communication setup. Yaz looking for the Doctor.

“Yaz, we can hear you, can you hear me?” the Doctor asks. There’s a pause, long enough for Sam to re-join the group and stand near Ryan. A pause that goes on for almost too long.

Doctor!

Sam’s hand goes to Ryan’s shoulder.

“Hey, they’re okay! Cybermen didn’t get ‘em!” they tell him as he starts to smile.

“Where are you?” the Doctor asks, and Ryan’s smile fades as Yaz answers,

We’re on a Cyber battle cruiser with that Cyber guy and a lot of Cyber troops that are waking up.

“Oh. Not so okay.” Sam says, their hand falling from Ryan’s shoulder.

“Yaz, get off that ship now.” the Doctor orders.

We can’t! We’re trapped and they’re about to break in.

“Yaz. Yaz!” the Doctor calls, but before Yaz can answer there’s a cracking noise like lightning, loud and close. The Boundary. Something’s happened to it. It’s like…it’s like it’s clearing, the other side now visible. This Boundary is more impossible than ever.

“What is that?” Ethan asks.

“That’s not possible.” the Doctor answers.

“I’ve never seen it look like that before.” Ko Sharmus says.

“That’s my home planet.” the Doctor says, “That’s Gallifrey.”

The image of Gallifrey had faded somewhat from Sam’s memory since they’d last seen it. They’ve seen it ravaged by the Time War, of course, but this is different. Burned to the ground for no reason they or the Doctor knows. All that’s left of the citadel is metal Sam doubts scavengers would want. They’d always hoped that one day, they might see Gallifrey. Truly see it, in all its glory. Not burned or bombed or the inside of a prison cell. They’d imaged walking through the streets, telling stories of their travels to little children. But there are no children left.

The Boundary seems to ripple, pulling Sam back to reality a split second before someone jumps through, landing on the beach in front of them.

“Wow! Oh!” the exclamations followed by some kind of squeaking noise, “That’s a good entrance, right?” The Master. Grinning like the madman he is. This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen, not in Sam’s mind. His eyes land on Sam and they could swear he winks at them, “Told you I’d come pick you up.” the smile drops a second later as he turns his eyes to the Doctor, “Be afraid, Doctor. Because everything is about to change. Forever.”
