650 DRONES
ASU vs USC
ASU's first-ever drone show — a 600-drone performance for 50,000 live spectators, synchronized with Elton John classics played by the ASU marching band. As Lead 3D Artist, I designed 6 of the 8 figures that flew that night, delivered in under one month. The largest university drone show in the US at the time.
