How a Drone Show is born
1. Storytelling in the sky
Each performance begins with a message to be told.
Our creative team transforms logos, values and symbols into Three-dimensional choreography synchronized with music, creating emotion and awe through light.
The sky thus becomes a stage where the brand comes to life and the audience has a unique experience.
2. ENAC authorizations and certified safety
Before each event, ink7lab takes care of all the ENAC authorizations and communications with local authorities, ensuring full compliance with European regulations.
We analyze the airspace, define safety areas, and check every technical detail.
This focus is what sets us apart as one of the most professional and reliable teams in the industry in Italy.
3. Site Checks and technical analysis of the location
Each drone show begins with a thorough survey: we assess location, obstacles, magnetic interference and environmental conditions.
This data is integrated into our flight software to ensure precision, stability and maximum security.
4. Arrival and Set-Up
Our technical team arrives on site well in advance.
Every step-from the unloading of drones to the placement of GPS antennas and control stations-follows strict procedures for quick and safe setup.
The result: a synchronized, ready-to-fly operating system.
5. Preflight Checks and Flight Testing
Each drone is checked individually: calibration, firmware, radio connections, compass and testflight.
During this phase, our technicians monitor parameters such as wind, GPS signal and wireless communications to ensure flawless performance.
6. Getting Ready and Countdown
Final checks, observers in place, and the countdown begins.
Each operator is coordinated by radio, while the system checks all safety parameters in real time.
The tension rises, the precision is absolute.
7. Take-Off: when light comes to life
It is the moment of magic: hundreds of drones soar in unison, drawing logos, images and figures in the sky that move to the rhythm of the music.
Lo storytelling comes alive in the sky, turning an event into an unforgettable experience that combines technology, art and emotion.
