We are true pioneers of drone technology. Our multiple award-winning team of designers, producers, technicians and aeronautical engineers designs, plans and implements premium drone shows around the world for live entertainment, corporate events and spectacular marketing campaigns - as a highlight for your event or as a completely independent multimedia show.
Flying Screens is our latest innovation, which celebrated its premiere at the Opening Ceremony Hannover Messe. These versatile video drones, which are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, have two opposing LED displays on which media content can be played remotely. Flying Screens have been specially developed for use at live events and marketing and are now available from Nocturne Drones as a full-service solution.
Jens Hillenkötter is an award-winning producer and designer of drone shows. With several Guinness World Records, he is one of the best-known and most successful producers and designers of drone shows in the world. He can look back on more than 25 years of experience in the global event sector.
As Vice-Chairman and member of the Advisory Board of the DIN Standard Committee Aerospace - Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Committee Member of CEN and ISO, he is largely responsible for the development of standards for drone shows. As Chair of the Droneshow Alliance, he is also committed to making drone shows safer.
His expertise and experience help to shape professional guidelines and standards for the industry and promote the safety and quality of drone operations at events.
As a consultant to authorities, institutions and insurance companies, he is considered the leading expert and sought-after speaker in the fields of drone shows and drone safety.
Wind, rain and cold can not only impair the show experience for the spectators, but also affect the technology. Depending on the drone fleet, fresh wind, drizzle and a bit of cold are no problem. The weather is a fixed planning parameter of our shows right from the start, and so we already include weather data in the evaluation during the feasibility study.
Our project management observes the weather developments on the day of the event days before construction and coordinates them with the weather services on an ongoing basis. If a safe drone show can no longer be guaranteed, the staging must be canceled or postponed.
Since weather conditions can also develop more violently than announced, the responsible pilot makes the final decision on the day of the event as to whether a drone show can be carried out safely. In case of doubt: Better safe than sorry!
Even if the drones do not release any fine dust or CO2 emissions during the show, indirect factors (e.g. charging infrastructure, logistics, etc.) must be taken into account.
Out of conviction, we do everything technically and humanly possible to reduce the carbon footprint of our shows to a minimum. We have been developing sustainable solutions with our partners for years. As pioneers in the sustainable energy supply of our shows, we use e.g. solar-powered pop-up power modules instead of diesel aggregates to supply our required infrastructure with electricity. The fact that the band Coldplay, as a pioneer of sustainable touring, is now also using this technology on their "Music of the Spheres" tour shows that we are on the right track. https://sustainability.coldplay.com/
