Show featured patterns including the Big Nickel, formed by 100 super-bright, GPS-guided drones
There to take in Greater Sudbury’s first-ever drone show, thousands of Sudburians flocked to the grounds of Science North as dusk fell July 1.
Science North asked NorthStar to produce patterns related to Sudbury, science and nature. The patterns were set to music by various Canadian artists, and ended with the playing of O Canada. “So we've got 100 drones and 100 flight paths. When the drones take off, they're all independent, and each drone doesn't know that there's other drones with it, it just follows its flight path. All the drones are kept into position with our ground control station that we’re building just behind you.”Guy said he’s been doing drone shows for eight years, starting out in Asia, and moving his operations to Canada four years ago.
Science North CEO Ashley Larose, who also spoke to us prior to the show on the afternoon of July 1, said given the science centre is all about technology and innovation, putting on a drone show seemed like a perfect idea.
