Drone Light Show Consulting by CineDrones Founder Mike Fortin
Drone light shows are one of the most powerful live entertainment formats in the world right now. They create huge “wow” moments, generate earned media, and deliver sponsor value in a way traditional entertainment often cannot.
But here’s the truth: drone light shows do not succeed because you own drones. They succeed because you have a repeatable system for planning, safety, creative clarity, stakeholder alignment, and flawless delivery.
That is exactly what this consulting is designed to build.
CineDrones founder Mike Fortin now offers drone light show consulting for operators, production teams, venues, and organizations that want to launch, improve, or scale drone show programs with confidence.
Who This Drone Light Show Consulting Is For
This service is built for teams who want to run drone shows like a premium live entertainment product, not a science project.
Drone show operators and production teams
- New operators building their first professional offering
- Established operators tightening delivery and scaling execution
- Teams upgrading from “we can fly” to “we can deliver at venue level”
Venues, cities, and event organizers
- Stadiums, arenas, festivals, fairs, and concert venues
- Municipal events teams and tourism boards
- Universities and major sports properties
- Brands and agencies producing high profile activations
What We Help You Build
1) A clear, sellable drone show offer
Most teams lose deals because buyers do not understand what they are buying.
We help you create:
- Simple packages with clear outcomes
- A pitch that communicates value without technical overload
- A buyer friendly proposal structure that builds trust fast
2) Real world operational systems
Drone shows are live events. Live events punish chaos.
We help you build:
- Production workflows your team can repeat
- Crew roles and responsibilities
- Checklists and handoff process from sales to production
- Contingency planning for weather, timing, and site constraints
3) Site planning and stakeholder alignment
A drone show touches multiple stakeholders. When alignment is weak, approvals slow down and risk goes up.
We help you tighten:
- Launch site planning and production footprint
- Venue ops coordination and audience flow considerations
- Communication plans with security, production, and event leadership
- Clear run of show alignment so everyone knows what is happening and when
4) Creative strategy that reads from the crowd and the camera
A drone show has two audiences:
- The people watching live
- The camera that will spread it online
We help you:
- Design show flow that builds emotion and momentum
- Improve “readability” at distance
- Build sponsor moments that feel premium and cinematic
- Plan for camera angles and capture moments that amplify marketing value
5) Sales positioning that closes premium deals
Drone shows are not cheap. High value buyers do not want the lowest bid. They want the most reliable, safest, most confident delivery.
We help you:
- Run stronger discovery calls
- Qualify faster and avoid bad fit deals
- Price and package for margin
- Present your offer in a way that makes risk teams and executives feel safe saying yes
Why This Matters
Most drone show failures come from predictable issues:
- Overpromising and underplanning
- Weak site logistics
- Unclear roles on show day
- Missing stakeholder alignment
- Proposals that do not build buyer confidence
Consulting exists to eliminate those weak points and help you deliver like a top tier live entertainment provider.
What a Consulting Engagement Can Look Like
Engagements are typically structured as:
- A strategy intensive for positioning, packaging, and offer clarity
- A buildout engagement to create workflows, checklists, and delivery systems
- Ongoing advisory to support scaling and higher stakes shows
You walk away with:
- A clear plan
- Practical templates and structure
- A delivery system your team can run without stress
- Stronger buyer trust and easier closes
