Custom Drone Light Shows for Brands, Festivals, and Live Events
DRONESURF designs and flies custom drone light shows: hundreds of synchronized drones forming logos, characters, and animated scenes across the night sky. We produced the show for SEGA's Persona 3 & Persona 4 launch, and we bring the same planning to festivals, corporate events, and private celebrations in Florida, California, and across the United States. Every show starts with one question: what does the audience need to feel? From the first storyboard to the final formation, everything we fly works backward from that answer.
SEGA - Persona 3 & Persona 4 Launch
Drone Light Show Company for Florida, California, and Nationwide Events
Hiring a drone light show company means trusting one team with the creative, the technology, and the safety of an entire fleet in the air. DRONESURF produces custom drone light shows with fleets of 200+ LED-equipped drones, choreographed through swarm software and flown by FAA-certified crews. Each show is designed around your brand, your venue, and the moment you want your audience to remember.
How a custom drone show comes together
- Storyboard and animation: logos, characters, and messages become flight formations.
- Simulated preview: you approve the full show before a single drone takes off.
- Safety and site planning: on-site checks, a show producer, safety officers, and visual observers who keep the whole fleet in sight.
- Live execution: the show runs on cue, and we can film it for your campaign.
Drone show cost and rental
The cost of a drone show depends on the number of drones, the length of the show, the complexity of the animation, and the location. Instead of renting drones by the unit, you hire a complete production: design, programming, crew, and flight. Share your date, venue, and audience size, and we will scope the right show for your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Drone Video Production in Florida
Absolutely. Many of our engagements involve embedding a drone camera operator in Florida into an existing production team. We work alongside your director, DP, and AD to execute aerial shots that match your project's visual language. Our operators understand the communication and safety expectations of organized productions.
Yes. Our custom FPV rigs operate safely in warehouses, hotel lobbies, convention centers, restaurants, and retail spaces. Indoor flights require advance scouting and a flight path plan but do not need FAA airspace authorization since they take place inside a structure.
We recommend 60 to 90 days of lead time. Shows require creative development, storyboard approvals, animation programming, FAA coordination, and on-site logistics. Tighter timelines are sometimes possible, but earlier planning always leads to a better result.
Our shows typically deploy 200 or more LED-equipped drones. The exact number depends on animation complexity and venue size. We have produced shows for SEGA and family entertainment venues in South Florida, and larger formations are available for major events.
FPV uses small, custom-built drones that a pilot flies from a first-person perspective through goggles. The result is fast, immersive footage that moves through spaces in ways traditional drones cannot. It works well for real estate walk-throughs, hospitality marketing, music videos, and any project that benefits from a continuous single-take feel.
Standard drone video is typically a static overhead shot from a consumer drone. Cinematic drone footage involves deliberate camera movement, planned shot lists, professional color grading, and a creative approach to composition that mirrors the visual language of film and television. Every DRONESURF shoot is treated as a cinematography exercise, not just a flight.
