00:00 We're going to start with a single drone and we're going to end with a single drone.

00:04 And in between we're going to see the earliest cell structures start to separate and turn

00:10 into living creatures. We're going to follow those living creatures as they evolve into

00:14 various different iterations. We're going to end with the moon landing.

00:20 Experience the sky above Bristol as it becomes the stage for the story of our evolution.

00:26 Witness an epic-scale theatrical event for all ages, told through a swarm of mesmerising

00:32 drones flying in unison. Watch the universe unfold from the humble beginning of single

00:37 cell organisms to the awe-inspiring reign of the dinosaurs. See our planet blossom over

00:44 thousands of years and spark your imagination with a story that stirs the soul. The Bristol

00:50 Drone Show, organised by YUP, is the city's first at a Sikh Unique Stadium. Let's chat

00:55 to the team to find out more. I'm Tony Martin and I am the CEO and co-founder

01:00 of Celestial, the drone art company that has created the animations and is responsible

01:06 for all of those hundreds of drones behind us.

01:10 So about 18 months ago I met Tony Martin, who's the co-founder of Celestial, and was

01:16 immediately blown away by their work. And what struck me is that most people who have

01:21 seen drone content have either seen it on the TV or YouTube. And in fact what really

01:26 gives you a spectacular experience is to see that live, in real life. So we got chatting

01:32 and we thought wouldn't it be great if we could create a show, a ticketed show, that

01:36 members of the public could go see. We're telling this story because we think

01:41 that conveying all of those well-known facts in a brand new medium, the night sky, is a

01:48 brand new format. So no one's ever seen that stuff before. And although everyone kind of

01:53 knows some of the elements that we're going to be telling in our stories, no one's seen

01:57 it in this way. So what we want to do is we're trying to unite people with a shared sense

02:01 of wonder. Everyone coming together to stop looking down at their phones and to start

02:06 looking up at the night sky and have really good fun.

02:10 The 3D Drone Show is an experience for all ages and tells the story of the birth of the

02:16 universe as the greatest story of all time, evolution.

02:20 So from our perspective as producers, our job is to work with the creative partner Celestial

02:27 and the venue to put on a show and all the elements that that brings together for an

02:32 audience of thousands of people. I think it reinvigorates that sense of togetherness.

02:36 I mean the ticket prices are relatively modest. You know, when you compare it to other forms

02:41 of entertainment, it's new, it's bringing people together and like I said, it's that

02:46 shared sense of wonder. It's everyone looking up together, having that 'ooh, ah' experience

02:51 and going away and having something to tell their friends. You know, it's a story to tell

02:56 in and of itself, the fact that you've experienced this.

02:58 Only time will tell if the drone show proves a success to the city of Bristol.
