A drone show is the only outdoor spectacle you can reshape the night before and reuse the year after.
Utah drone shows run to resort activations, festivals and civic events, with mountain venues offering dramatic siting and difficult performance margins. Elevation reduces what each aircraft can do, which changes the fleet size a given show design requires.
Choreographed light shows for sports, corporate events, festivals and brand activations. The work is half animation and half aviation: the show is designed like motion graphics, then flown under an airspace plan with the safety case a public crowd requires. We consult on shows nationwide as well as fly them.
The Utah Film Commission coordinates statewide. The critical thing here is federal land: drones are prohibited from launching, landing or operating within National Park Service units, which rules out the parks most productions arrive expecting to shoot. Knowing where the boundary sits, and what is legal just outside it, is the whole job.
Winter gives the most dramatic imagery and the hardest flying — cold cuts endurance, and canyon conditions change with elevation on the same day. Summer opens the backcountry but brings heat and density altitude at elevation.
We shoot the Wasatch range, the salt flats, the canyons, and the valley — and we travel. CineDrones works nationwide, so if your production is basing in Salt Lake City and shooting somewhere else entirely, that is a normal week for us.
