But first, check out the music video below:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TOvxxq9TwNg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"creating-high-in-heaven\">Creating &#8220;High in Heaven&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Since their first collaboration in 2018, both Hobbes and Firefly Drone Shows have continued to push the limits of live drone performances. The two companies set out to create a &#8220;drone face&#8221; performance and enlisted the help of musicians Josh Epstein and Louie Louie. The goal was to have a drone-driven entity sing a song in the night sky.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, the Hobbes team began creating mock-ups and sketches of faces.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2020\/11\/09065512\/Mockups.jpg\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They had to find the perfect balance of strong facial lines that the swarm of drones could follow and animate without breaking shape or crashing into one another. The final look had to be driven by confident line work, designed to resemble stone carvings. With the look decided, Hobbes then turned to the musicians to capture their performance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2020\/11\/09065512\/Facial-Capture.jpg\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/moves-by-maxon\/id1482181306\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Moves by Maxon<\/a>, a free iOS app built for Cinema 4D artists, the musicians captured multiple performances and sent their capture data over to the team at Hobbes. That data was then brought into Cinema 4D, where the team used the performance to plot out and drive the drone paths.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2020\/11\/09065512\/Animatic_V22_Preview.gif\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Once the performance of all 200 drones was locked, the artists began the painstaking task of coloring the performance, a process that took several weeks, as the color and intensity of every single light on every drone had to be programmed in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2020\/11\/09065512\/Dave_Cam.gif\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">The next challenge was figuring out a complicated, highly coordinated flight plan, a process that involved close collaboration between Hobbes and Firefly Drone Shows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While these individual drones can reach speeds up to sixty miles per hour, there are FAA regulations in place that limit the speed of drones when flown in a swarm. With a legal top speed of fifteen miles per hour, the performance would have to be altered.<\/p>\n<p>The solution? The entire sequence was slowed down to twenty percent speed for the actual flight, and then the performance footage was sped back up five times to match the audio of the song.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2020\/11\/09065512\/Firefly-Drone-Team.jpg\" width=\"755\" height=\"504\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the day of the shoot, the Firefly team showed up bright and early to prepare the 200 drones for filming, all while also social distancing high up on the slopes of a Michigan ski resort.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2020\/11\/09065512\/Drone-Flight-Setup.jpg\" width=\"755\" height=\"713\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The flight paths were updated to every drone, and the show was ready to execute.
