- This Fourth of July, history was made. Sky Elements Drone Shows achieved the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the largest aerial sentence formed by multirotor/drones. 1,002 drones armed with bright LED lights took flight and dazzled the crowd with a show paying tribute to the history of the United States.
The centerpiece show of Sky Elements’ Fourth of July weekend allowed the company to break its own record by producing 40 shows over the holiday weekend using more than 10,000 drones.
The 10-minute record drone show surpassed all expectations and dazzled the audience, becoming the largest drone light show ever flown in Texas. The aerial ballet of drones showcased intricate formations of critical moments in American history and brought a sense of wonder and awe to audiences of all ages.
Sky Elements previously broke the state’s largest drone show record by flying 1,001 drones over the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Sky Elements is spearheading the transition from traditional fireworks to awe-inspiring drone shows. Sky Elements will be coast to coast across the nation from Miami Beach to Los Angeles.
Shows will be flown in 11 of the 50 states, with nearly nine shows in California alone over the weekend. With their unwavering commitment to innovation and creativity, they are revolutionizing how Americans ring in the Fourth of July.
Why does this matter? The Fourth of July has long been synonymous with dazzling fireworks brightening the night sky in a flurry of colors and sparks. Still, this year marks a transformative shift as drone shows are poised to take center stage across the nation more meaningfully than years prior. Sky Elements is undoubtedly leading this transformative movement by combining hours of animation, precise logistics, and cutting-edge technology.
Drone light shows are a feast for the senses and a greener and safer alternative to traditional fireworks. Using drones significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with fireworks, eliminating harmful smoke and chemical residue. Additionally, drone shows mitigate safety concerns by eliminating the risks associated with fireworks accidents, making them a preferred choice for communities across America.

I can't even imagine the creativity, precision, and patience it took to put this show together; bravo!!!
No shit! Awesome.
Yes, the formations in general are not complex, but the logistics of movement and transition is very complex. Also curious as to what positioning system they're using. Your basic GPS or accelerometer systems (inertial navigation) wouldn't have enough precision over time I wouldn't think. Could be image based tracking with some points on the ground. Or maybe even just using each drone as a tracking point itself. Anyone have info on their design?
The drones are programmed to do that through One computer.. It's easy rather just need a bunch of drones and one computer and software to run said show.
@@kingbeast777 , well, there is a lot more engineering and software development behind the scenes. That's like saying a modern video game is just a software program.
@@kingbeast777 WOW
The drone with the camera flying around and through the display...just wow! Got chills.
It was ok, I wouldn't say as far as chills lol
@@ElectricVehiclesAreGoodF-ti7xdmaybe that's just your opinion you ever think of that?
@@ElectricVehiclesAreGoodF-ti7xd Agreed grows old after a while just like fireworks. It is good for the first few mins.
you should have seen it through my goggles 😉
so beautiful! Taiwan also has it!

No joke that astronaut was incredible....when it slams the flagpole down saying "one small step for man" Gave me chills
Love that one as well ❤
Don’t take much to give you chills does it. 🤣
so beautiful! Taiwan also has it!

I CRIED 😅
Why would that be a joke?
I love how it’s 3D, maybe you could rotate the entire thing 30 degrees to show that off to the mostly stationary audience 🎉
so beautiful! Taiwan also has it!
czcams.com/video/wBzbyMnY1YU/video.html
Yea, the only problem is those that are the furthest from the axis of rotation, they have to go a lot faster than those that are close to it, that's why the speed of rotation is capped to the speed of the fastest drones
This was an incredible show - I wish I could have been there.
Me too.
shure to bad it wasnt true now we need to make it to the moon now LMFAO
@@wakeupcanadians tell me you're a russian bot without telling me you're a russian bot
Been where, where was this?
Yes, you can imagine a show. But no thanks for being there. The drone was made in China. If our government thinks China's weather balloon is spying on us, it has to destroy it. Believe me we're in big trouble.
I could not be prouder to be American 🇺🇸
As an immigrant from Brazil and a citizen of the USA. The ultimate sacrifice of those people, most of which we will never know their names, that charged the field and made a difference that day many years ago will never be forgotten. Thank you.
it is fine to love the country but i am not much on nationalism..... the world needs to work together solve our problems and i think nationalism gets in the way
The ultimate sacrifice of those people ------------ do you mean the 25 million native Indians wiped out？
@@madeinchina1450 lol, I will agree with you if you can agree with me on tiananmen square april 15, 1989 what happen there?
@@Denver_____ Agree with you of what on april 15, 1989 ???

I work for DHL at DFW Airport n and also deliver in their area. I helped grab all the big boxes for this show from the plane and I didn’t expect it to go towards a drone show for 4th of July but hey great job guys !!
🫶🏻 couldn’t have done it with out you guys help with the last minute deliveries.
I'm speechless. The ingenuity and ability to coordinate it all was surreal. Watching this video made me feel like we're living in the future today.
You just took our 4th of July show's to a whole new level of Patriotism. Thank you for even putting our country in your thoughts to do this. Just OUTSTANDING. Thank you VERY MUCH. A Proud American.
🫶🏻
That's how the Chinese celebrate!
I’m Australian, I wish I could’ve seen some 4th of July celebrations as I love your country a lot
Dude ! Drone show started in China many year back
Don't be proud. Pride is one of the 7 deadly sins.
Truly beautiful and amazing. The Eagle and the 3 Jets were my favourite parts of the show.
Amazing ❤
They ain't just jets, they are the Blue Angels
It was all so cool…I can’t nail down a favorite! The astronaut waving and planting the flag…Washington crossing the Delaware…The flag evolving with the eagle interacting… All Wow! What a display!
Great job guys! Seriously… this is the next big thing for live visuals and effects. At first it was firecrackers and stick lights, then came small rockets and of course the tube rockets we have now everywhere.
But what has yet to truly be tapped into is this type of show. Big scale, high count, drone shows! You guys are paving the way for future entertainment!
This would be......very useful for faking an alien UFO encounter.
That brought me to tears. God bless the people that love our country so deeply that they would create such a patriotic masterpiece! Bravo!
I am so happy this was complimented with fireworks instead of replacing them. This type of show is next level and I cannot wait to experience one!
We love playing with both.
Why shouldn't we replace fireworks? It really harms the wild life scares the cats and dogs We should replace firworks
No, fireworks need to be outlawed. The amount of destruction they cause is not worth the gimmick 1-second worth of satisfaction.
@@amberkhakis3190Dogs need to be equipped to handle the loud noise, and they're not because of their junk food diets. Switch to an all meat, preferably raw grass-fed, including animal fat, and watch them heal. Brains are two-thirds fat.
They're plan is to replace them. Read the notes.
I think the use of drones and fireworks together are a great idea. Reduces smoke without completely getting rid of the fireworks.
And because of global warming that the retarded idiots refuse to acknowledge as happening, the states and cities that are in severe drought and 115°F heat and burn advisories where fireworks are banned because they could ignite a state wide fire, drones are excellent for these places.
Plus it spares your hearing!😅
Well after the drone show there was a 20 min firework show, haha the whole event was spectacular!
Were those drones and fireworks made in USA? Lol. American Independence Day - a wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP.
This is only the beginning. Now that it's been demonstrated that drone shows are possible on this massive scale and provide so much more creative potential than fireworks alone, we'll only see the size and quality of the shows get even better. What a revolution, pun fully intended.

@@ajmuzz22 FO!
The fact that these are 3d structures and not 2d images on a plane, is wicked-impressive! Absolutely amazingly AWESOME!
Edit: huge congratulations to the team!
I use a drone for professional video work, and I still can’t understand how this is possible. Absolute magic! 😮
guessing it's all GPS enabled.. a lot like wind turbine lights that flash together???
Coordinates
The same way you'd locate a Sukhoi su-57 😎😎😎🤙🤙🤙
They are each programmed to take a position using grid patterns on a computer screen.
@@wendym1234 This is what I thought as well
Great job team! The historical references, technology, and fireworks combined were an awesome production. Your talent and skill is unmatched!
Who even talks like this?
@@danielduncan6806 I do 🤷🏼♀️
@@taramac_wardotally glad you did! My thoughts exactly. I do think the combination of drones with some fireworks was cool! And the sound effects and soundtrack was on point too!
@@danielduncan6806Normal people do?????
Scientists the list goes on..
Awesome! Congratulations. And thanks for a beautiful 4th.
just the fact that those drones have to be mere inches apart and not crash is crazy, it takes some real skill and effort to create something like this not to mention the cost involved
Well done 👏 👍 🎆
Individually each being piloted by microscopic program employee.¡
Mostly just time consuming. Its all completely computer controlled . Computer programming does all the maneuvering and flying. Press lift off and sit back and watch
Not inches, but feet (3 feet at least or 1 meter), at 0:09 you can see how far apart drones are spread.
Gotta say I was a little nervous one of the actual fireworks was gonna crash into the drone "fireworks"
WOW
This is just the greatest thing that I have ever seen. This is hope. This is America. This is the way it is. God Bless America 🇺🇸.
This is truly amazing. The synchronization of the drones to create such images is remarkable. Where did this take place?
North Richland Hills, TX!
Agreed and the world record feat was admirable, no doubt. But I would have liked to see a bit more animation and movement in the drones. That's why I still like the Chinese dragon drone display the best.
@@reya346yeah that animation was incredible in a whole different level, I am guessing the more drones the harder it gets idk
@@reya346i may be totally talking out of my ass here but wasnt the chinese one confirmed to be a hoax using CGI? I only heard of it so I’ve yet to look it up
@@Bean_Soup Don't know which one you're referring to but I'm referrencing the Shenzhen dragon display which used around 1400 or 1500 drones. I'm no expert on the subject but I never heard anything about it being CG; perhaps there was another dragon display show that used it.?
Fantastic! Huge thanks to those who created this display for us!
God bless America ! I'm immigrant from Kazakhstan!
Congrats guys! So good to see drones used for good and to celebrate our great country!
There’s nothing good about this.

This is the best I have ever seen in years! Congratulations!!!!!
Amazing! This is the future of 4th of July Celebrations!
Wowwwww so awesome! Thank yall for showing us your talents! Much love!
Well deserved Sky Elements , that was truly EPIC!
But what was the record? 2 years ago, there was a show with 2000+ drones in Asia czcams.com/video/44KvHwRHb3A/video.html&feature=share7
Outstanding... This blew me away... Well Done... The future if Drone technology is going to be huge...
God bless America.
well done! the Washington Boat was EPIC!
I am sitting at home on my laptop watching this and its truly amazing!! I can't even image how spectacular this must have been live!! Wow!! So much hard work was put into this. Thank you so much for sharing. Absolutely incredible!!
My minister and his family got to see it live. They all said it was the most incredible thing they'd ever seen, and it was beyond impressive.
Just watching this through a video gave me chills, So far we have came from since I was even a kid and Im only 36. Cant wait for the future.
This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Very nice show better than the fireworks and sound cool 😎 👍 😀

@@kdtallllll Near Fort Worth Texas, North Richland Hills to be precise lol
Congratulations on the world record! Incredible! Brought tears to my eyes!
Read it carefully, Sky Elements Drone Shows achieved the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the largest aerial sentence, not the total number of drones. the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™by drone numbers goes to Shanghai, China, check the video with the title: The BIGGEST Drone Display! - Guinness World Records

Speechless after seeing this. Man the time and patience. Just wow! Gotta love that US pride
I am reminded that the creativity and drive to create this work is promoted and rewarded in countries like the U.S.
If you really think about it, it takes tons of creativity to make an awesome real fireworks show. I love them both drones and fireworks. Thank you!
Amazing work guys, almost brought a tear to my eye!
Drone show was one thing. Firework next to the show and that one drone going itself through the drones and firework; very well put together show and coverage!!!
Beautiful! I cannot wait to see what you have for New Years.
Congratulations on your Guinness World Record!
It’s gonna be epic. But I bet there are going to be a few epic things before then too ;)
This was one of the greatest things ever created 🙌 thank you for sharing with us 🎉
That’s was spectacular!! Congratulations guys!!
It's like a 3D marching band! Cool show, congrats on the new record 😊💥💯
That was stunning and beautiful! Would be so cool to see this over the "sphere" that came out in LV. Damn, the future is shaping up to maybe actually be cool
This is amazing. I’m going to see your show tonight and on Sunday night. I’m so excited. Congratulations on the record!! I wish that I could see the drones up close and meet you and the team as well.
Incredibly Beautiful!!!
Drones are seriously such a great alternative to fireworks! This looks spectacular!
I'm not much impressed these days but that was amazing!!!!! Think how far this will come in the future
The horse and flag intro awesome, crossing the Delaware phenomenal! Awesome 😎
Thats art through entertainment, BRAVO!!!
Amazing and beautiful show. Congrats for your 2023 G Record!
*May God bless this beautiful country of ours*
This was amazing. WOW, I loved watching this show. Thank you so much for posting this.
Beautiful to watch. Futuristic 🫡
These drone shows,, with a little bit of fireworks, are the best. Great Job! 🎇
WOW!
That was amazing!!
Beautiful.. and eliminates from air toxic metals needed for color explosions, saves the lives of many young birds, helps children breathe better and eliminates loud sound trama for humans and animals !! 🏅

awsome show great job
Congratulations to you all!!! Such a talented bunch of people... you deserve this. Keep leading the way in Drone technology and creativeness!! You all are AWESOME!!
Well drone show records in China was 3000+ in 2021, 1000+ in 2018, this team is leading the tech in US not the world.
That was utterly amazing!!! Great in a big sky area like maybe Texas. Wherever it was congratulations!! 💥
That was fricking awesome!!
I actually teared up. This makes me feel so proud to be an American
That was spectacular! I agree more fireworks are needed. Somehow turn this into a 20 or 30 min show!
The shows are actually longer. They take several minutes to get into each formation and the video cut this out.
Also fireworks would be cool. But it'd be much more difficult to maintain the drones in the air with fireworks nearby. Not only the Shockwave of the bigger booms but all fireworks that go up leave debris in the air that can't stop or hender a drone propeller
There is only so much battery capacity.
I was thinking less fireworks 😊
No, *get rid of the fireworks while the drones are doing their thing.*
HOLY! HOW DID I MISS THIS?! This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen!
I am BLOWN away, I have chills just from watching on my ipad! Congratulations!! Your talents and sophistication are a gift. Wishing you much success!!
Woooooow amazing, that video just made my day, I really love it, thank y'all so much for showing us that magnificent show, and y'all absolutely deserved the new Guinness book record, love y'all, Happy 4th of July and GOD BLESS AMERICA♥️🦅🇺🇲🦅♥️

That was something else, cant wait to see what they come up with in the future
As an animator and a former member of a marching band, my mind runs wild. Considering the physical limitations of each drone (for example, they can’t move fast enough to create a fighter jet that travels through the air super fast), you could still achieve the effect of fast movement by placing groups of drones in interpolated positions across the sky. This would allow you to mimic the same effect of a firework exploding, without having to send drones at Mach speed. Of course in that example, the relatively slow falling of the individual colors (after the initial explosion) could be accomplished by singular drones using gravity to their advantage.
@@test-zg4hv yeah, static volume-based aerial light show is more practical and still impressive, while moving drone is way harder but not impossible
no
As an Animator myself, why not lay it in laymen's terms because most of us didn't understand what you just explained.
@@NunYaBiz1313 I guess the easiest analogy would be describing it in 2D. Imagine taking 2 million drones and placing them in a large parking lot in a 1920 x 1080 grid. You’ve now made an HD display. If you were to have the drones create an image of the classic DVD logo, and have it “bounce around”, you could either fly those handful of drones all over the parking lot, or you could just turn on and off the drones in sequential order so that it appears like the dvd logo is moving all around. Then imagine you multiply those 2 million drones by 1000 and place each flat grid up in the air evenly spaced out to create a 3D volume of drones. Now you’ve spent $500 billion dollars and you’re an idiot. So instead (and this was my initial point) you just use the minimal amount of drones to create images, plus extra drones in the sky to help hand off an image while it “moves” across the sky (meanwhile every other drone, that’s currently not lit up, can fly over to its next position before it’s time for it to get lit up again). With this method you could get objects to appear to move in the sky faster than the max flight speed of the individual drones.
@@test-zg4hv I agree that would be awesome, but you’d have to spend billions to get something close to being impressive, and you’d never be able to justify the cost.
Love the patriotism, so few show love and appreciation to our country and colors anymore!! Beautiful and congrats on the record!!
