The animation stage allows adjustments, ensuring that the show aligns with the client’s expectations and the event’s setting.

Safety and quality assurance are paramount for your drone show in Texas

Sky Elements Drone Shows takes safety and quality seriously. The company ensures that all drones undergo testing beforehand to ensure all hardware, software, and batteries function correctly. Then, on the night of your Austin drone show, visual observers disperse to secure the flight area from pedestrians. They ensure each drone is accounted for and nobody is underneath the drones while the show is flying. Throughout the days leading up to your event, weather and wind are monitored to ensure the show flies seamlessly.

Applications of drone light shows in Texas

The beauty of Sky Elements Drone Show lies in its versatility. Firstly, take our Halo drone show we flew at South by Southwest, for example. We incorporated the iconic imagery from the video game Halo that matched the IP perfectly. Subsequently, we flew a SXSW drone show that Master Chief could be proud of. Drone shows in Austin can be applied to a wide range of event types, including:

  • Fireworks alternative/collaboration: As a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fireworks, drone shows are becoming increasingly popular for countries looking to reduce costs and enhance safety. Independence Day drone shows peaked in the United States last year and are a formidable alternative to fireworks. While many municipalities use drones as an alternative, many fly drone shows alongside fireworks, making for a brilliant show in the sky! Sky Elements is experienced in working with pyrotechnics across the US to supplement fireworks in magnificent ways. Check out how drone shows can be used as a fireworks supplement here at our show with Sky Wars.
  • Austin sporting events: Sky Elements is guaranteed to make your sporting event shine. Drone shows have been proven to keep fans in seats for a post-game show that’s one to remember.

QR Codes in the Sky

Drone QR codes and product launches in Austin

  • Drone QR codes: We’ve performed countless drone show QR codes with dozens of different kinds of applications. If a QR code appears in the sky, people will scan it.
