200 drones simultaniously
The camera work here sucks, Cletus and his buddy are acquired tastes, but the idea that someone has programmed 200 individual drones to create animations in the sky is sort of scary in a big brother way - and I don't know why; It's the uncanny valley response in my psyche.

That demo represents hundreds of hours of programming.
Impressive display. Best Les

Impressive.
But would be extra impressive if all of them were carrying bombs and flying over enemy troops in Eastern Ukraine. |

If they can get the jaw to move on that in sync to a song, that would be awesome.

Here is a video of the drone show that we put on at the 50th Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta last October.
https://youtu.be/-rFLxxXAF-8 There were tens of thousands of visitors on the field watching this. 2022 was the first year we had done a drone show and we'll probably do a new one each year as it was a huge hit with our guests. There were 300 drones in this show.

And you're right, these are cool as hell.I can't imagine the work and math involved to make this all come together. I sure don't know why I got that uncanny-valley feeling the first time I saw 200 lift simultaneously in the OP vid.

Reminds me of those videos of songs being played by 100 drummers, 100 guitar players, etc. out in the middle of a field.

Would've been pretty cool if they had videoed at night so you could see what was actually going on.
