What is a semi-custom drone show?

A semi-custom show is created using our library of pre-designed formations, which we call "frames." Each frame is a beautiful, tested sequence, like a soaring heart or a burst of geometric shapes. Rather than building your show from scratch, we carefully select and sequence these ready-made frames to tell your story.

We work with you to choose frames that reflect your ideas and the theme of your event. Whether you want to celebrate an anniversary or highlight a specific message, we guide you in selecting the perfect formations to make the show feel uniquely yours.

How it works

Step 1:

Submit your enquiry and await our response, typically within 24 hours. We will review the details and provide you with a quote. A deposit will be required to proceed to the next steps.

Step 2:

After we have a deposit, we'll gather your ideas for the show and create an initial concept. We will then implement any changes you may want.

Step 3:

We will send you a render of the show. The full payment will be required 7 days before the show.

 Is a semi-custom show right for you? 

​​Your event is on a tighter timeline, and you need a show ASAP.

You love the idea of a drone show, but don't need a unique narrative.

You can't justify the cost of a bespoke show, but want to share your story?​

What benefits does a semi-custom show have over a pre-built show?

1.

A show shaped by you.

We achieve this by working with you to select the perfect pre-designed animations that reflect your vision, creating a seamless and unique performance.

2.

Make it unmistakably yours.

Add personal touches like initials, a date, or a meaningful symbol to the performance, creating a deeper emotional connection that a standard pre-built show cannot provide.

3.

Tell a story in the sky.

We sequence the animations to create a flowing narrative with a beginning, middle, and end, making your celebration more emotionally engaging than a standard, fixed show.

How does the cost of a semi-custom show compare to a bespoke show?

How much cheaper?

Typically, the animation cost is roughly half of a full bespoke show; however, this is not half of the full cost of the show. Contact us today for a personalised quote for your needs.

Why is it cheaper?

Because we are using our pre-built frame library, most of the extensive animation work is already complete. This significantly reduces the design time needed to prepare your show.
