Not going to lie, I am not sure how I feel about this. I feel there is a large debate online about animatronics in general and specifically if they are creepy. I know a lot of people are very wary about things moving in water. So I am curious to see how the masses feel about moving things in the air. I was interested in the fact that they might use drones. Especially in today’s society there is of course controversy about drones. This conversation of drones brings up larger conversations about the practicalities of drones, and if there are people assigned to fly and operate each individual drone. There is also the conversation surrounding safety, as things are flying above patrons heads. I know there are protocols surrounding rigging specification with things over the audience’s heads but I am curious as to how those shift when the instruments overhead are self reliant.
