⨠WA First! ⨠Our small pyro drone swarm made its debut at the Wanneroo Festival, lighting up the sky in perfect harmony with PULSE, our latest beam lighting effect.
From drones and pyrotechnics to ground-based lighting, every element was choreographed with millisecond precision to the beats of the community dance groupsâcreating an epic fusion of light, sound, and culture.
This innovative approach isn't just visually spectacularâitâs also scalable, making it a cost-effective solution for local governments looking to push creative boundaries in their events. And the feedback? Absolutely unreal!
đĽđ Wanneroo Festivalâbigger and better every year! đđĽ
đĽ Watch the magic unfold!

⨠Potential Unleashed â A Vision for Every Child â¨
In December, Stellar Lights brought the iconic Sydney skyline to life over Farm Cove with a drone show designed to inspire action. "Potential Unleashed" was created for the Australian Education Unionâs (AEU) For Every Child campaign, advocating for 100% funding for public schools.
Against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sydney Opera House and Barangaroo skyline, our drones formed vibrant handprints, pulsating energy, and a shining "100% Funded" call to actionâa powerful symbol of the full support that every child deserves. The show told a compelling story: when given the right resources, kids can reach their full potential, and the skyâs the limit. đ
This project came to life thanks to the vision of Strange Animals, who engaged us to bring this message to the sky. Fast forward to today, and two Australian states have committed to major public school funding breakthroughs. đ While a drone show alone doesnât shift policy, it amplifies voices, engages communities, and sparks momentumâproving that immersive storytelling through light and motion is a powerful tool for change.
A small moment in the sky. A big step toward a better future. đĄ

đ⨠Looking Back: The Magic of First Lights - Cowaramup â¨đ
In May 2023, the shores of Gracetown were transformed by a stunning display of light and story, led by Wardandi matriarchs Mitchella Hutchins and Vivian Brockman-Webb. First Lights - Cowaramup brought an ancient tale to life, transcending space and time, taking us back to the moment when life first stirred into existence.
In this mesmerizing #GoPro light painting video by animator Jarrad Russell, we revisit the nightscape that depicted the Dreaming - a time when the world was being shaped by the custodians of all creation.
đĽ Take a moment to look back and relive the magic that made First Lights - Cowaramup an unforgettable experience. đ
