At the closing ceremony of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, 300 Intel Shooting Star drones took flight to celebrate the athletes who competed at this year's games. The aerial performance painted colorful illustrations in the skies over PyeongChang, including Soohorang, the Olympic mascot, leaping over the main stadium, cheering on the athletes, and forming heart shapes. The Intel Shooting Star drones also created a three-dimensional heart, a symbol of admiration and love for the Olympic athletes.

Intel kicked off its Winter Olympics journey with a Guinness World Record-breaking performance of more than 1,200 drones flying simultaneously in a pre-recorded video for the Olympic Opening Ceremony. Additionally, Intel Shooting Star drones projected Soohorang, the PyeongChang logo, and skiers, hockey players, and curlers into the night sky during the night medal ceremonies to celebrate the athletes during periods when weather conditions were not a concern.



“The Intel drone team has the same adventurous spirit and passion as Soohorang, pushing the boundaries to create amazing experiences,” said Natalie Cheung, general manager of the Intel drone show team. “It was an honor to celebrate the sportsmanship and teamwork that so deeply impressed us with Intel drone shows, and it was a triumph for us to see our animations come to life.”

Intel has created an entirely new entertainment concept with a drone light show featuring hundreds of Intel Shooting Star drones, all controlled by a single pilot. The Intel Shooting Star drones are lightweight and custom-built for entertainment, capable of displaying over 4 billion color combinations. Intel Shooting Star drones have already performed light shows at various major events in over 10 countries, most recently performing alongside the Bellagio fountains at CES 2018.
