Ged MaheuxReally, to hell with fireworks. š
Jorge Salvador Caffarena@gedeonm they added fireworks coming down from drones later too, crazy stuff EDIT: not really, the video I mention is a mix of two different videos overlapped
xs4me2Indeedā¦ wowā¦!
Miguel Arroz@gedeonm Yes! When I see fireworks now I think āgee youāre stuck in the past. And thanks for all the heavy metals that will go into my lungs and waterā.

Simon Harper@gedeonm thatās quite stunning. Noisy I bet too with the thousands of propellers buzzing away ;)
Dr Neenah Estrella-Luna@simonharper @gedeonm There an interesting question: what's the noise impact of a thousand small drones compared to fireworks? One hypothesis I have is that fewer dogs and cats are freaking out by the sounds of a thousand small propellers but definitely worth looking into.
Schlaftablette@starluna @simonharper @gedeonm It doesn't seem to be too noisy.
[4K Korea] Gwangalli Drone Show, which is held every Saturday evenin
@fernsehchat @starluna @gedeonm Indeed not! For major commercial displays this makes total sense. For people at their one home, I guess we have to have banging fireworks and all the dangers.
LexiGirl@starluna @simonharper Yeah unless you experience one in person thereās no way to know. The distance of these drones is significant however so I doubt there a ton of noise unless you are directly under them. Iām also confident that drone makers could eventually make their drones nearly silent unlike fireworks which are basically explosions. No doubt however this is why most drone displays are accompanied by loud music to help mask the propeller sounds.
@gedeonm @simonharper Thank you. I've never been to a drone show. There was a serious accident at one in FL recently, so I might just stick to watching them on YouTube for a bit. But I suspect that they would be an improvement over fireworks in a lot of ways, acoustically and environmentally.
Andreas K@starluna @simonharper @gedeonm
It's a question of training and experience with fireworks when it comes to pets, I guess.
Our Labrador slept this night very well during the fireworks, and obviously dreamt about running and hunting. At midnight, both the dogs were with us on our terrace while we sipped the Champagne.
But funny, we had such a strong fog this year, that actually at midnight proper almost nobody fired much (by sound, it wasn't much visible anyway).
@simonharper
Well our Labrador is rather curious, when I was walking her in the evening, off the leash, and in front of the neighbouring house a number of bigger groupings were firing fireworks and while I kept a distance our supersized Chi was totally confident in exploring all these interesting humans. Had to call her back and leash her.

@starluna @gedeonm
@simonharper Perhaps but I doubt more noisy than dozens (sometimes hundreds) of loud booms.
@gedeonm true. One of our collies was terrified last night. The other was totally unconcerned. Drones maybe not as alarming?
Greg Sullivan@simonharper @gedeonm yeah much louder than those famously quiet fireworks...
swopeNot even on the same level as screaming rockets and exploding mortars, I presume.
aproitzThese are #Drones, not #Fireworks - Looks #amazing !
@antonproitzelhaimer Yes. Iām saying we should get rid of fireworks and use drones. Much more visually impressive and less stressful noise wise.
Okay - This makes Sense. š
LĆŖ FĆŖ is backWhere was this show? Impressive!
@lf_araujo Shanghai, China but it was from this past summer, not part of New Years.
Estarriol, Terrorist Dragon@gedeonm that is quite stunning!
@Thebratdragon Even though the video is sped up itās still amazing and technologically impressive.
blausand š@gedeonm Ja, done with fireworks. Go for a VLAN at the congress and off we go!

Benjohn@gedeonm still no laser beams on the formation flying drones?

tacnextgen@gedeonm I was watching a stream of the ball drop in New York, and I was constantly distracted by the barrage of Coka-Cola and movie advertisements surrounding the whole event.
Yes, its "tradition", but this drone display is much cooler.
Slatian@gedeonm I wish I had only a tenth of these instead of having to use the more primitive methods of getting fancy lights into the night sky after the calendar rollover.
Note: Iām fully aware that āfancy lightsā absolutely isnāt a neccessity ā¦ thatās just me enjoying that this is possible once a year. (and yes I clean up after my and my neighbors firework)
Sam Krahl@gedeonm It is amazing. And I somehow still find fireworks more wonderful!
TubbDoose@gedeonm this fake is interesting. Apparently it came from a real drone show but was sped up and placed on a different background to look more impressive and hide the timelapse
False: This drone show video celebrating Lunar New Year in Singapore was manipulated | annie lab
While Singapore had drone shows during the Lunar New Year celebrations last month, the dragon in the video was digitally added from a clip showing last yearās Dragon Boat Festival drone show in Sheā¦
@tubbdoose Its not fake, its a real display. Yes itās sped up, you can tell by the planes landing in the background super quickly but the environment hardly matters.
@gedeonm the video is sped up by the company that sells the drones for advertising. I canāt slow it down enough on youtube to see it at actual speed but even at 0.25x it is (at least in my opinion) much much less impressive. https://youtu.be/pZ-zJ0Vq0FU

@gedeonm Impressive, but somehow it appears that your video file is broken. Do you have a better version of the video somewhere?
Edith: Found a better version. But I'd still be interested in a full-length video. This is just 20 seconds.

sheislaurence@gedeonm depends what the relief is about: quality of display (ā), minimised disruption to animals ā

Pair of Florida tourist spots pause drone shows after holiday accident injures boy | CBC News
A theme park resort and a huge hotel in central Florida have either stopped using drones or cancelled their drone-based shows after several drones collided and fell from the sky during a separate holiday celebration in downtown Orlando. The accident on Saturday injured a boy who required surgery.
@fartnuggets Yep, most things do. I wonder how many bystanders have been killed or maimed by errant fireworks over the years.
MyYeeHaa@gedeonm @fartnuggets
Just reading that at least 2 people died in the Netherlands in the past day from errant fireworks...
