Behind the Scenes: Prepping 300 Drones for DWP Festival 2024

By iDrone Editorial Team

How iDrone programmed 47 formations across 300 drones for DWP Festival 2024 — planning, rehearsals, and show-night execution.

Behind the Scenes: Mempersiapkan 300 Drone untuk DWP Festival 2024

Starting 8 Weeks Before the Show

Eight weeks before DWP 2024, the iDRONE team received a brief: '300 drones, in sync with DJ sets, must be iconic.' The biggest challenge: the formation had to change according to the tempo of the music in real-time.

Weeks 1–3: Choreography & Storyboard

Our animators designed 47 different formations — from Indonesian globes to beat-driven musical waves. Each transition is set to per-frame precision.

3D Simulation

The entire show was tested in 3D simulation. We detected 2 potential collisions between drones and fixed them before D-day.

Evening H: Show

22.47 — countdown begins. 300 drones take off at the same time. The show opened with an Indonesian globe, followed by the words 'FROM INDONESIA TO THE WORLD'. Thousands of spectators burst into applause.
