the challenge
The Making of LA's Eco-Friendly 4th of July Spectacular Night
The biggest challenge was to synchronise the drone training, get clearance for the show and organise everything to create a spectacular show for the audience.
For around six months, bluemedia's team was in constant motion, leaving no room for complacency. Back-to-back bi-weekly and monthly meetings with Councilwoman Monica's office became the norm, reflecting our unwavering commitment to bringing this massive event in Los Angeles to life.
The bluemedia team initiated discussions about incorporating a theatrical audio component into the drone show and organizing an on-premise event. Our creative process began with crafting enchanting animations, where every detail was designed to captivate the audience. Next, we delved into the world of sound, creating a soundtrack that would set the tone for the entire show. Every note and melody was chosen with precision to ensure it resonated with our audience, enhancing the overall experience.
Finally, the true magic happened when the drones seamlessly synchronized with the music, creating an unforgettable spectacle that left a lasting impression on everyone who witnessed it.

I created this community event as a modern way to celebrate Independence Day without the dangers of traditional pyrotechnic fireworks.
