Dallas was rick rolled by drones with giant QR code in the sky
DALLAS, Texas - Dallas residents experienced one of the most elaborate rick-rolls of all time on April Fool's Day.
Sky Elements Drone Shows created a QR code drone display that flew over the Downtown Dallas night sky. When those in the area scanned the illuminated code with their phone, it would bring them to the infamous music video for Rick Astley's song ‘Never Gonna Give You Up.' Preston Ward, Sky Elements Drone Shows Chief Pilot and General Counsel said drone shows are meticulously planned, and all are designed in 3D animation software.
The prank drone show was flown from the Reunion Tower to get the best shot of Dallas. The area is in Love Field's controlled airspace, so the team had to get approved to fly in that airspace prior to the show, according to Ward.
Local FAA offices were also made aware of the show before it went on. "Brian and Lito, who manage our design and animation team, always knock it out of the park with show design.
