Qadsiah Festival
Unveiling the Club Logo

The drones had to be matched with previously unseen number of other media - music, 3D-mapping, SFX, light beams, lasers, and fireworks. 

Al-Qadsiah FC wanted to celebrate its advancement to the Saudi Pro League.

The client wanted to make the show theatrical and dramatic, while introducing the new club logo to the fanbase.

Challenge
Drone Visibility and Safety

It was a challenge to make the drones visible along with the other media, like fireworks explosions, and avoid collisions. At the same time, the image had to look spectacular from any point of view, both dozens of cameras and 17,000 Al-Qadsiah fans stretched along 1.5 km of the waterfront could observe and record the show with the same level of impression.
