From the first sketches to programming every formation, I designed this summer drone show for Silver Dollar City, then got to watch it perform for thousands of guests each night. It was built in close collaboration with the park's Entertainment team, with the goal of reflecting the park's guests, story, and legacy.
The process started with storyboards to establish a shared vision with the park. From there I animated the show primarily in Blender and DSS (Drone Show Software), keeping every flight path safe and FAA-compliant, and shared previsualization renders for feedback along the way. The show debuted in 2025, flying 23 consecutive nights without a single drone missing a performance, and returned in 2026 for close to 50 nights in all, becoming part of summer memories for thousands of families.
