THE UK’s largest-ever drone light show brought Hollywood glitz and glamour to its Worcestershire namesake.
Created by the geniuses behind the drone show at Buckingham Palace’s Platinum Jubilee Party, the display saw colourful scenes and characters from Mission: Impossible, Scream and Halo above the village of Hollywood.
The show beamed images from Star Trek, Paw Patrol and SpongeBob SquarePants into the night sky launching Paramount’s new streaming service called Paramount+.
The sensational show, by drone light show company SKYMAGIC, began in thrilling fashion with the famous Mission: Impossible countdown clock.
The show’s penultimate scene featured the famous Paramount mountain and logo, as well as a QR code, which viewers were able to scan to get a free seven-day trial of the streaming service.
Co-founder and director of SKYMAGIC, Mungo Denison, said: “This show has taken months to finesse due to the attention to detail required to give a faithful representation of the various characters we were depicting.
“The sky is our biggest canvas and the show, which ran in parallel to music, started with Paramount’s famous logo which is the widest one in the display at 200 metres in width and 120 metres high. They are all iconic images.
“It all starts with pencil and crayons and a piece of paper where we draw it all out by hand. The last thing we do is overlay the colour file. We have the ability to produce 16 million colours.”
Ahead of the show, Paramount+ unveiled their all-star promo, featuring a galaxy of Hollywood stars, including Uma Thurman, Jack Whitehall, Naomie Harris, Christina Ricci and Miranda Cosgrove.
The two-minute short, which was filmed in the UK, follows the story of an intern’s first day, dubbed Paramount Pete, as he attempts to get hundreds of coffee orders right on the Paramount+ studios for various superstars.
