During the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 Closing Ceremony, 300 Intel Shooting Star drones took flight to celebrate the triumphant athletes who competed in this year’s games.
The aerial performance painted colourful illustrations in the sky, including the Olympic mascot – Soohorang, the white tiger – who comes running in above the stadium, cheering on the athletes and creating a heart outline in the sky.
The Intel Shooting Star drones create a volumetric heart, symbolic for gratitude and love towards the Olympic athletes.
Along with a Guinness world record-breaking, pre-recorded light show for broadcast at the Opening Ceremony, Intel drones continued entertaining throughout the games with aerial performances during the nightly Victory Ceremonies.
Natalie Cheung, general manager of the Intel drone light show team, told UAS VISION:
“Just like Soohorang, our Intel drones team has a challenging spirit and passion to push the limits and make amazing experiences possible. It’s been an honour to celebrate such magnificent athleticism and teamwork with Intel drone light shows, and a victory for us to see our animations of the games come to life.”
