The city might be fine, but world records were destroyed.
An awesome promotion for the Monsterverse’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2, which took place last night in Holly
wood, has smashed the Guinness World Record for the tallest drone show, using around 3,000 drones to climb higher than 500 feet.
Godzilla, Kong, and the new Titan X were ready for their close-up as they took over Los Angeles in the Guinness World Record’s tallest aerial display of a fictional character formed by drones, hypes a press release, and, series stars Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anders Holm, Mari Yamamoto, and Joe Tippett were on-hand to watch the Titans face off.
Red Dwarf co-creator’s new book goes back to show’s beginning for a new tale
Set to a score developed by the show’s composer, Leopold Ross, the 12-minute three dimensional drone show included 3,000 drones that flew nearly 500 feet in the sky (taller than the Statue of Liberty!) with a square footage of 1000’ x 1000’, or the size of three football fields, was stationed over the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, but due to it’s monstrous size it was viewable from three miles away at any direction.
Drone shows often appear as a sky spectacle, this 12-minute production plays with the Hollywood landscape to situate Godzilla, Kong, and the newly introduced Titan X amidst the landscape to feel like they’ve truly taken over the city. The show also integrates pyrodrones in the air and on the ground, acting as visual effects for key moments like Godzilla blowing his atomic breath. The activation was created with creative agency, Heads in the Sky.

In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
