We have 3 fleets of 300 drones, with one fleet consisting of 500 drones. The amount of drones depends on the animation you require.
Since Celestial launched in 2020, we have never stopped developing and growing. In late 2022, we expanded one of our drone fleets to 500 drones. In order to provide our audiences with the most jaw-dropping shows possible, we will continue to enhance our drones and technology as an inventive company.
Our drone performances can last from a thrilling 3-minute display up to 30 minutes. The longest drone display we have created so far was our feature-length Sky Song, which was an exciting 30 minutes long with five different chapters. The possibilities are endless.
A unique visual way to promote your brand is with Celestial sky drones.
We are a creative collective of film makers, event producers and tech wizards with a passion for innovative storytelling.
We are the natural successor to fireworks. Using drones as pixels, we see the night sky as a giant 3D screen capable of unlimited digital possibilities. Our immersive events, world-class films and cutting-edge technology represents a new frontier in the live event industry.

If it’s a windy day, we can fly in constant winds of 19 kph and gusting up to 25kph. Our drones do need to stay dry, so sadly our shows cannot go ahead during wet weather.
However, we do pride ourselves in our endeavours for our shows to go above and beyond, in some cases the show may be delayed at the start by 15-30 minutes to give the rain a chance to stop.
Yes! Celestial provides each client with the full animation of the drone show prior to the event as this will give us the opportunity to make any changes that it may need.
We are located in the rolling hills near Bath, England, we encourage our clients to visit our airfield for a stunning demo.
We have an excellent team of 3D animators and storyboard artists who will be able to design logos, moving animations and text across the sky.
Our software translates live gestures of a human performer into the drone flock. Our drones can also mirror animal motion and react to music in real time. The result is breathtaking organic movement on an epic scale. We can create endless possibilities of personalised stories to your heart’s content.
We use the intelligent Uvify IFO to fly our shows. IFO is the world’s most versatile, longest flying, and brightest light display drone.
Our team at Celestial takes care of any required permissions and authorisations that will be required to perform our drone art displays. In Australia, we have all the required licence to perform dazzling, show stopping displays.
This completely depends on your requirements! We do enthralling drone art displays that require a minimum of 300 drones.
We can have a kickoff meeting to discuss your vision and discuss all of our options.
Ideally between 3 – 6 months to complete the following activities:
- Our creative team will draw up a storyboard and script for the drone show
- Do location scouting for the show
- Design the writing, art & motion design, and choose the music for the display
- Our 3D Animators will create the images our drones will form in a 3D space made up of dots
- We then program all of our drones to follow the flight path of the dots that we map out during this animation process (Each of our drones follows its own specific pattern, with hundreds of drones working in tandem, we’re able to achieve an epic feast for the sense that dazzle audiences every time)
- We then perform a practice run of the display in our Frome HQ before the event.
