Olympics Drone Disappointment
I know Paul (VTCGuy) can appreciate the disappointment when things don't go to plan with a drone...but 1200+ drones?
The plan was to do some great animations over and some within the stadium during opening ceremonies at PyeongChang. Here is what the Intel team put together on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCd6P7Ya160 Now if you were watching in the US last night, or even on Today Show this AM, you wouldn't know that the 1200+ drones never got off the ground due to a last minute glitch. https://www.recode.net/2018/2/10/169...inter-olympics Instead NBC had a few hours to stitch-in some video from a rehearsal in Germany before air-time her in US. Live to tape is a wonderful thing in motorsports - we can eliminate boring long stretches of full course caution flag parade laps - not so much when you try to fake it during the Olympics for a big sponsor... But the feat Intel did perform last December was impressive!

I fell asleep during the endless march of atheletes and mind numbing drone of background stories.
Was the ceremony any good? |

Ha! I watched the opening ceremonies last night and they disclosed the scene with the drones and skiers was pre-recorded due to "uncertainty of the weather for opening ceremony night"
