Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2023
- This Christmas season, Sky Elements attempted two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titles with our 1,500 drone Nutcracker Christmas show. Will it be enough to set the new records for Largest Aerial Image and Largest Fictional Character (Nutcracker)? All while telling the story of the famous Nutcracker ballet?
This record-breaking Christmas drone show is one you don't want to miss. The show features a beautiful Christmas tree and lights, as well as the famous battle between the Nutcracker and the Rat King. Finally, there is an appearance from the lovely Sugar Plum Fairy, and the jolly Santa Claus.
Merry Christmas to all! Thank you for a year full of amazing drone shows!

Can you imagine not knowing about this happening, and then suddenly seeing a 90-foot tall, ethereal Santa Claus appear out of nowhere and start walking through your city?
Now think about hearing aliens are flying through the sky. This should be a " here's your sign moment" for all those who believe the crap people be believing on the FAKE NEWS
@@ktbphoto I thought about that too, or shrooms, or acid. That would be one hell of a trip, and bonus, it's actually real.

For those who aren't old this must seem pretty everyday for you, but for those of us who grew up in the 70s this is better than anything we could have dreamed of back then.
I'd take my old space hopper over a drone anyday.
Were you asleep the last 40 years? The technology practically slow dripped into existence. It didn’t just show up out of nowhere.

Crazy. I am 48 yo engineer and if you had told me about that this is possible, back when i was a young man, i would have most likely lauged at you very sceptical. Here we are.
The evolution and speed of technology advancement is scary and fascinating at the same time.
I'm surprised there's not more drone shows. They have cake shows, tattoo shows, and everything else, so why isn't this a competition program? That would be really cool seeing the different displays that their minds want. Endless possibilities. This was genius, and fun.
There are daily drone shows in Dubai, at least during the Christmas/Holiday season, and some other periods the rest of the year.
I agree there should a drone show competition besides the existing drone racing competitions.
I would pay to watch this.
i mean other then its probly very expensive, its probly very hard, you need like top of the line experts for this things to work, just thing how easy some of those could bump into eachother and ruin it when they move around.
Meh, I’m so over the “competition shows”. Cooking, for example…
I can only imagine how incredible it was in person watching. The technical skills needed to put this together and control the drones into formation is mind blowing.
once set up its automatic rem the drones have gps so exact positioning ist not hard
Don´t mind, the World Economic Forum is a specialist in technology.
Lol I can just about operate UA-cam and Facebook messenger but even I'm savvy enough to see that all of this was a computer controlled display.
AI will make this mundane.
I’d image it’s just plotting a map for each drone.. pretty easy tbh in this day an age I’m guessing. With AI even easier
give appreciation to those who control FPV drones for their documentary videos without crashing into the drone show
Now this is absolutely crazy. I would say that Sky Elements really earned this record. Congratulations to you guys and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!! 🎈🎊🎉🎆🎄☃️❄️🌨️🎁🍿

This is common in Shenzhen, China… years ago
They celebrate Christmas @ Shenzhen?
It started as an Ars Electronica project in Linz, Austria and obviously spread and expanded from there...
Onde está o presépio com o menino Jesus? E a estrela de Belém? E os reis magos? O nascimento de Jesus é o verdade motivo do Natal e não Santa Claus ou a árvore de Natal
I've been into flying RC Planes, helicopters for years but the new RC Drone tech has exploded these last few years and it's been literally breath-taking to see how far they've come in such a short time...just incredible!
Yeah, it's becoming the worst thing on the frontlines
@@Andriy_Moskalenko very good point! They're becoming lethal for infantry and even mechanised units, they're so small and difficult to see at altitude. Many many soldiers are being killed and wounded by the huge array of different drones unfortunately
Because it is expensive as fuck. I cannot even afford to purchase 1 drone, imagine 1500.
Thanks to war they improved lighter quicker smarter
@dennisrodriguez3689, you can get a decent drone for $800. You don't need a $5000+ drone.
I love Christmas, I love gathering with my family💖
I am SO PROUD of what we as human species have achieved. This is insane, and so beatiful. For the first time I found the nutcracker interesting
Let's take a moment to admire their skill, their will, their hard work and their determination. I'm just amazed and jealous that there is no such show close to me.
The skill of the computer😂
The computer and coders literally did all the work.
The drones arnt flown by humans.
@@cosmicbilly and you think this show didn't need any effort at all? I'm well aware of how a drone works, and trust me, comp do the less work 😜
@@GhostR7some people will never be happy

Wow 😮 …. That’s awesome 👏🏻 …. Amazing ❤

I'd really love to see HOW they do this. I want a really nerdy technical documentary on what goes into the creation of this.
I'm reasonably sure it isn't 1,500 hundred RC transmitters. More likely that each aircraft is addressable within the number of channels needed for throttle, lighting, and axis control. There could easily be more to it though.
Cool stuff!
@@joewoodchuck3824 Every drone is loaded with a flight path. There's tools like DJI's D-RTK 2 that help improve the location accuracy of the drones to just a couple of centimeters.
I think it was explained on AGT how it's done.
It's actually pretty straightforward:
1, make a GPS ground station to provide an accuracy coordinates
2, make the drone to communicate with the GPS ground station, so, the drone know it's own position
3, for an interval of time(like one second), send singnal to every drone for the new location.
4, before the show, you can rehearsal the show on a computer with a vritual coordinates
That's it!
The most important part in these drone show system is: the accuracy coordinates provider!
Let me go further:
1. If GPS transmitters are on the ground, how many? Different frequencies bands than the satellites? Otherwise you'd be jamming GPS systems to the general public.
2. I'm guessing the drones are using mesh communication? Does each drone have individual awareness of its relative position to each other as well? How much intelligence or edge technology is on the drone vs centralized control from the ground. Is the drone set up with the "dance" program before launch or is its assignment being transmitted every millisecond?
3. How does the development process of the dynamic imagery work?
One way to do imagery is to simply keep the drones in a cubic array where they act as 3d pixels. You could light up the pixels as needed for the image. Yet these pixels are also moving in formation relative to each other. That software process is significant to prevent collision.
4. What are the minimum weather conditions. Wind aloft? Temperature? I assume no precipitation?
5. FAA special use permits? FCC special use permits?
This is seriously nuts. At times I didn't even believe that those were drones because of how realistic it looked and how everything moved together. This was honestly very impressive. Wish I could witness this in real life.
Damn... You should see an LCD screen. They're incredible
Yes, looked absolutely realistic. Didnt see any difference and thought it is a real Santa Claus in the Sky. You should see a TV, it is unbelievable how realistic their images look.
It is Almighty Allah who has given these technological possibilities to people.

... i want to know the behind the scenes stuff though.
Onde está o presépio de Natal com o menino Jesus? Esse é o verdadeiro motivo do Natal! 🤔
It might not be as difficult as you think. I imagine that if you have the right combination of a talented computer programmer, a creative designer, and expertly calibrated drones that are all of the exact same specifications, power and speed, well the sky's the limit!
swarm ai is really a neat subject and worth going down the rabbit hole At this point in time I have read about a few operations where a single operator can utilize over 100 drones at once.
Kiss goodbye to noisy expensive firework displays, this is bloody impressive on a huge scale and environmentally friendly. I'm very impressed and my background is large fireworks events.
Yeah. Nothing like massive lithium and cobalt mines to make you feel good about the environment.
Fireworks, as much as I used to love them now just remind me of how many animals get lost or killed because of them or howbit harms the environment.
@@dan7102EXACTLY my first thoughts when I read this gentleman's comment about "environmentally friendly" ( That being said, I don't blame the fella for not realising, most average folk have no knowledge of the issues of Lithium and other rare earth mineral mining...)
For the same reasons we still like gas engines, we will still use things that actually go boom.

As an aside I wonder what people who didn’t know this was going on or were flying overhead thought when they saw this lol
how would you know if it was easy or not? its just programed into a computer. they didnt actually fly the drones. they just turned them on and the program did the rest. and any spectators that saw this probably figured it out pretty quick that it was a light show. like i saw the video, wasnt to complicating for me to figure it out

How is this even possible? A bloody well done from me from across the pond. Well done, very well done!!!
A person puts into a computer what they want too see, the computer writes the program for the positions and the lights, uploads it to the drones. A human presses go and then the computer controls all the drones and makes the formations the computer planned out. Nothing impressive about it really when you know it's all done on a computer.

A computer flies the drones.
@@TheJoker-dj4yqI'd like to see how long it takes you to program a SINGLE drone to fly in a straight line and back down to the exact same spot.
Imagine spending the money on a ticket to see this and then they don't even turn off the parking lot lights.
Basically a 3-dimensional scene is converter into an array of three dimensional coordinates, one for every available drone. And then between scene transitions each drone flies between their own pre-programmed locations, loaded as a individual flight plan in its controller hardware. To make sure the drones don't drift, the operators set up a groundbased transmitter system called RTK (real time kinematic) that uses a GPS-system to pinpoint the locations of each drone up to a few centimeters in precision from a basestation. This is then transmitted and each drone uses this data to correct deviations. Doing all this requires custom software that efficiently converts a scene into hundreds of individual flightplans (and some are more fancy allowing for elaborate animated scenes) and hardware modifications to skeletonize the terminals of an existing RTK system on the market, integrating them with the drone frames and sent its input into a drone's flight controller to be interpreted as corrections. Both steps are custom , proprietary solutions, which is why there are only a handful of drone show operators in the world to handful (for now). That and it costs quite a bit of money to buy and convert this many drones.
Magnificent! Envy the attendees because I know this was awesome to see in person. Congrats on the record to all those involved! Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎅

This instead of fireworks in inner cities, with a mandatory timed darkening time for everyone to turn the lights off, would be so nice for those of us with PTSD. I love fireworks when I'm prepared and I have my wits about me, but hate them when they randomly go off all the time around me when I don't want to hear them. This is part of the future I want, pretty lights on drones made for fun.
