One Hundred Take To The Skies For The Annual Christmas Spectacular In New York City

This holiday season, Intel Shooting Star mini drones are helping to delight audiences in “The Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes.”

During this year’s new final scene, up to 100 Intel mini drones will create a groundbreaking magical holiday drone light show over the Great Stage of Radio City using choreographed movements to create holiday-themed silhouettes. This large-scale integrated drone performance will mark the first of its kind for theater and for Intel.

 The “Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes” is running now through January 1.
 
According to Intel:

• This indoor drone light show animation and sequence runs for more than 4 minutes as part of the production’s new finale scene, “Christmas Lights.”
• This large-scale indoor drone performance marks the first of its kind for theater and for Intel.
• The drones’ flight path and movement is integrated along with the productions’ ensemble, singers, aerialists, live orchestra, and digital projections to reveal the Radio City Rockettes.
• Intel mini drones will dazzle “Christmas Spectacular” audiences for nearly 200 performances at Radio City this holiday season, making this the longest-running indoor light show that Intel has ever created.

Weighing in at less than 2.4 ounces, the Intel Shooting Star mini drone is constructed with a soft frame made of flexible plastic. A 180-degree cage covers the four propellers. The Intel mini drone fits in the
palm of a typical hand – all features designed to promote safety when flying near people.
