Drone Light Show
Drone Light Show
Design and run choreographed drone light shows using Skybrush, from formation planning to live playback.
Course Overview
Drone light shows use coordinated fleets to create aerial formations, text, and animated scenes. This course follows the Skybrush toolchain in five parts: Skybrush Studio for Blender, the protocol specification, Skybrush Live, Skybrush Server, and show-night operations. Module 1 is the design desk — hardware for a show aircraft, Studio installation, formations and storyboard, then a checked .skyc export. Later modules cover how that file is specified, played, served, and run on site with crew, rehearsal, and abort practice. The course does not authorise public-event flying, replace aviation permissions, or confer manufacturer certification.
This course introduces professional drone light-show workflows with Skybrush, covering show design, formation safety, and live playback practice.
Learning Outcomes
After working through this course, learners should be able to:
- Describe how drone light shows are planned, designed, and flown as a coordinated fleet.
- Use Skybrush concepts to author formations, trajectories, and lighting cues.
- Check spacing, timing, and geofence constraints before playback.
- Outline a Skybrush Live rehearsal and show-delivery workflow.
- Brief a show crew and name hold, abort, and recovery actions before authorize.
- Recognise safety, airspace, and site limits for light-show operations.
