Big Sky
This is a comprehensive hybrid spectacular designed for a major waterfront location (like Mission Bay, San Diego). It assumes build of proprietary new tech in an autonomous water-borne drone with fountain capabilities and LED lighting. The intention is to build out an immersive 3D environment connecting 1,500 drones, 24 autonomous water vessels, lasers, and pyrotechnics with synchronized music and sound effects and a first-of-its-kind live selfie jumbotron.
Act I: The Reveal & Chaos
Emotional Goal: Surprise, Scale, and high-octane Keepy Uppy and Granny humor.
| Timecode | Audio/Visual Event | Drone & Hybrid Choreography |
| 0:01–0:15 | Music: Single held note | Blackout. 1,500 drones climb to 300ft in darkness. |
| Voiceover (Chili, as if talking to Bluey and Bingo): Look up. That big sky above you… It doesn’t have edges. No walls. No ceiling. Just space. Space for stars. Space for stories. Space for something new. (Music begins to hint at Bluey theme.) That big sky, it’s just waiting… | 50 drones light up like pin-point stars Constellations Pegasus and Leo light up, fill in as characters and streak across the sky. Bluey’s big eyes appear. | |
| 0:16–0:19 | Bluey/Bingo Giggle Bluey: For what? Chili: For whatever you can imagine… Bluey & Bingo: Woaaaahhh | Bluey’s eyes widen, then suddenly shut and everything goes to black. |
| 0:20–0:40 | Epic orchestral Intro transitions into Bluey Theme (Instrumental) | The Roll Call: The words “MUM!”, “DAD!”, “BINGO!” snap into the sky in 100ft Bluey font. |
| Word Beats | Mini Pyro Bursts: On each name, a gold sparkle shell detonates right behind the text. | |
| Pause (The Fake-Out) | Music stops. The word “BLUEY” starts to form but “glitches.” | |
| “BLUEY!” Drop Bingo: “This nighttime spectacular is called BIG SKY” | The Big Bang: Sky turns vibrant Bluey-blue. A 300ft 3D Bluey is revealed. Colorful pyros burst. | |
| 0:40–1:00 | Chili: “You ready? Ooookay, go!” Bluey: “KEEPY UPPY!” Girls giggle. | Sequence Animation: A 2D red balloon “bounces” along a line of drones. As it hits the water, an Aqua Drone fires a 20ft orange water jet, “bwut”-ing it back up. |
| 1:01–1:30 | Bluey: “Bingo get it” Bingo: “I can’t do it by myself” Gaggle of friends arriving/chattering. Rusty, Lucky, Coco and Snickers grunting with effort (like serving a tennis ball) High energy music | Voices of Rusty, Lucky, Coco, and Snickers. Aqua Drones fire a matching color jet (Red, Pink, Yellow) for each friend “hitting” the balloon. The group erupts in laughter when Rusty misses and we transition… |
| 1:31–1:50 | Bluey: “IT’S THE GRANNIES!” Bandit: Oh no! High energy music. | Outlines of two massive granny glasses and a can of beans snap into frame. |
| 1:51–2:15 | The Granny Mobile Janet: Off to the shops. I gotta get my beans. Rita: Hang on, you little whippersnapper! The girls giggle. | The Granny Mobile appears with Rita and Janet inside. It suddenly moves erratically and dives toward the water. |
| 2:16–2:20 | Janet: “Nice parking, Rita!” | BOOM-BOOM-BOOM. Three massive water jets lit in white. The mobile disintegrates into laughing pixels. |
The Bridge: Transition to Act II
The music fades to a soft woodwind note. The sky is dark, save for a few drifting stars and a full moon.
Bluey (Whispering): “Bingo? Look at the stars… they look like they’re playing Keepy Uppy with the moon!”
Bingo (Softly): “Do you think the moon gets lonely when we’re not looking at it?”
Bluey: “Nah. I think it’s just waiting for its turn to play.”
Bingo (Long, loud yawn): “Bluey… I’m tired.”
Act II: The Big Girl (Sleepytime)
Emotional Goal: Intimacy, independence, and “The Gut Punch.”
Music: Jupiter
Timecode Audio/Visual Event Drone, Laser & Hybrid Choreography 2:35–2:40 Transition into Jupiter Chili: “Ok then. Come on, off to bed now” To black 2:41–2:45 Bingo: “Mum, I want to do a big girl sleep…” Chili and Bingo form in a warm amber glow. Chili’s silhouette fades as Bingo drifts upward. 2:46–2:55 Chili: “You do your best, honey. But remember, I’m always here if you need me.” Chili becomes a single brilliant golden star supported by a laser. The drones form a spiral of galaxies behind her. 2:56–3:45 “Jupiter” Swells The galaxies resolve into individual planets and Bingo explores them. As she plays with each planet, pyros blast with twinkly magic. 3:46–4:15 Bingo: “I have to go. I’m a big girl now.” Lasers fire from the shore, creating “light-speed” lines as Bingo (50-drone cluster) flies along it. 4:16–4:29 Chili: “Remember I’ll always be here… because I love you.” Bingo turns downward toward the “Sun.” Aqua-Drones form perfect concentric circles on the water. 4:30–4:45 The sun bursts with warmth Aqua-Drones fire jets, creating a golden Hemisphere of Water. Ground lights blast it with blinding Orange/Gold. 4:46–5:00 Bingo’s Return Bingo “flies” downward into the center of the water-hemisphere. Total whiteout. Then black.
Act III: Global Dance Mode
Emotional Goal: Inspirational climax and a high-energy release.
| Timecode | Audio/Visual Event | Drone, Laser & Hybrid Choreography |
| 5:01–5:15 | Bingo (with wonder, heavy echo): I did it! Crickets chirp Music Shift: Transition into “The Creek” or “Flatpack” theme. Bandit: Y’know, sometimes it can feel like you don’t have time to look up at the sky. Bluey: Why not? Bandit: I dunno, kiddo. We get busy. Bingo: What? Too busy to look up? | Sunrise orange glow fades into twilight. The Heeler family is laying down looking up at the sky. |
| 5:16–5:35 | Bandit: Yeah, it can feel that way sometimes. But I promise you both – I’ll always look up with you. Cinematic inspirational instrumental Bluey: Look, a shooting star! | The rest of the drones rise up and create the widest great expanse so far, a starscape of possibilities. Constellations form and Orion shoots an arrow that becomes a Laser-guided shooting star. |
| 5:36–5:55 | Bingo: I see a drum! Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum duuum dum. Chili: Oh yeah! Look, a keyboard. Bluey: Doot do do do dooooot. Bluey: Is that an owl? Bandit: Oh no, you know what that means, don’t you? | Instruments form from constellations and start playing: A drum A keyboard DJ decks An owl…? |
| 5:56–6:00 | VO: Bluey: “DANCE MODE!” | Drones go dark as lights and lasers fill the sky. |
| 6:01–6:30 | Music: Dance Mode (Techno/House Remix) | Chattermax appears as a 2D icon as the sky fills with a kinetic playground: Rapid-fire color strobing. Drones perform chase patterns. Lasers create a disco dance floor. Aqua-Jets fire rhythmically, 50ft height. |
| 6:31–7:20 | The “Light Up the Sky” Finale Bluey: Join in! Scan the code and film your dancing. We’ll see you up here! | Drones form a giant QR code for 12 seconds while lasers and Aqua-Jets perform. Scan links to Vixi Selfie Jumbotron, users train their cameras on their crew dancing while QR code removes into a content surface, showing users dancing in the drone formation. |
| Bluey, Bingo and their friends giggle and jive – giving each other dance challenges. | ||
| 7:21–7:44 | Grand Finale Chord Chili: So dance. Play louder. Tell big stories. Imagine bigger. Fill that big sky up with possibilities and never stop believing that you can. Because, the world needs more imagination. And it’s a big sky out there. | Gemini (the twins), separate then morph into Bingo and Bluey who give each other a big hug. THE BIG FINISH: Every drone shoots to 400ft, creating the largest and brightest starscape we’ve seen. Every Aqua-Drone fires a vertical white plume. GPS Pyro gold willow shells explode. |
| 7:45 | FADE TO BLACK | One single blue drone remains, winking out like a star. |
