"Starbright Holidays" Drone show coming to Disney Springs

[wdwmagic]

I am halfway wondering if the camera they used to shoot that video had a directional or parabolic mic on it.

I think the sound in the video was used for artistic a purposes. Like you say, in reality they wont sound anything like this when ambient crowd noise and sound track is in place.

There will be quite a bit of distance between you and the drones, too. That will help.

probably another reason why they chose DS? right?

 

[sshindel]

How are you enjoying the drone show?

WHAT?

I SAID, "HOW DO YOU LIKE THE DRONE SHOW?"

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T HEAR YOU BECAUSE OF ALL THE DRONES!!

I don't care if I agree with this or not, but this right here is gorram funny.

will be by the springs this weekend.. any chance they are introduced then? or will it be closer to the holidays?

Queue the family of a little boy sues Disney for getting his face cut open by a hacked or stray drone in 5.. 4... 3... 2... 1

Color me shocked that they're doing this in a non-gated area like this rather than inside a park (which requires admission).

To me, that either means:

1. Disney Springs really IS doing that poorly that they need to draw people there any way they can

or

2. This show isn't elaborate enough to use as an advertized draw into a park.

Or...

3. Mickey has taken the gloves off.

AMAZING!!! This is the kind of stuff I love to see!! So many exciting and awesome new Christmas entertainment offerings this year!

They have to with no Osborne.

And should I say Lights of Winter?

Or...

3. Mickey has taken the gloves off.

4. No Osborne Lights.

5. Try and draw more to DS.

I have not spent much time around drones but are we certain that is drone noise and not just sound for effect?

4. No Osborne Lights.

5. Try and draw more to DS.

I can almost guarantee you that a surprisingly large number of guests are unaware of the Disney Springs conversion and the scope of it. This will help put it on people's radar.

They used to use searchlights for this. Now drones can do the job. It is the 21st century after all.

Or, third, and most likely...

It seemed a cool idea, and DS is the perfect place to give it a whirl.

Like the new ones installed in the MK just last month?

Not this weekend

That is the sound they make. No idea if they added it in post, used a mic that would deliberately pick it up or if the drones they are using are just that loud.

EDIT: This video will kind of give you an idea of the noise generated by a single drone.
You will want to fast forward to about 9:30.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!! cant wait to see it!!! love that the 1st drone show will be for the holidays

Searchlights that JT insinuated were old hat.

Great addition for DS and gives people an additional place to celebrate the Holiday times. This will help spread out the crowds and a great night time show.
