Made for this moment
Downtown’s civic spaces, Mid City’s arts gatherings, and the university’s sports traditions offer distinct creative directions. We start with your audience and purpose, then establish the viewing area and a separate operating footprint. The river, levees, live oaks, stadium schedules, and aviation environment shape the practical plan.
Starbound Labs designs the show and brings the performance together. Our Spectra drones, in-house firmware, and Starbound OS software connect the creative work with the fleet and team on the ground.

Rooted in Baton Rouge
Local inspiration. A story made for your audience.
North Boulevard Town Square and Galvez Plaza connect downtown events with a recognizable civic setting. A community-led sequence can build toward an image selected with your organizers. Stage structures, surrounding streets, trees, nearby buildings, and public access determine where guests can stand and whether a separate flight area can be established.
The Mississippi can provide a strong horizon for an evening gathering. We agree the intended viewing direction and review river activity, public paths, levee access, lighting, and neighboring property. A riverfront booking does not make the water or levee an available launch and recovery area.
Mid City’s neighborhood arts gatherings suggest a show shaped with your chosen artists and musicians. A commissioned image or color sequence could carry the collaboration into the evening. We confirm rights and discuss the meaning of the work, then assess the proposed property rather than assuming a street festival provides aircraft space.
An LSU fan celebration can use approved colors and graphics to build a shared closing image. Tiger Stadium events require review of qualifying football restrictions, campus conditions, lights, seating, and the actual flight footprint. Campus permission is one part of the plan and does not provide aviation clearance.
A downtown business gathering or River Center reception could end with a reveal guests watch together outdoors. We review current venue availability, the guest route, nearby structures, and lighting before designing the closing message. Any proposed aircraft area needs its own permission and aviation assessment.
For a Baton Rouge wedding or a private celebration toward Prairieville, a date or meaningful symbol can be the final image. We review oaks, neighboring land, usable ground, and access for the operating team. Wind, rain, ground condition, and a weather contingency are discussed alongside the creative.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana · Louisiana State University
Review qualifying football restrictions, campus permission, field and stand sightlines, lighting, public circulation, and the full show volume.
Official venue websiteConvention and entertainment complex
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Confirm current operator and redevelopment conditions. An outdoor concept needs a separate guest-viewing plan, flight area, and riverfront access review.
Official venue websiteThe airspace is part of the plan
The right starting point is your exact venue, launch location, show height, and date.
For each proposed show, we check current FAA maps, NOTAMs, temporary flight restrictions, and the complete flight area. Nearby airports and military facilities are part of that review, alongside other local aviation activity.
Review the entire proposed show volume against current FAA maps and notices, alongside commercial and other aircraft activity.
Hammond, Louisiana · wider region, outside Baton Rouge metro
Official facility informationA wider-region military aviation consideration for enquiries extending east. Installation restrictions and military requirements remain separate from civilian FAA authorization.
Kenner, Louisiana · wider region, outside Baton Rouge metro
Official facility informationRelevant for proposals extending southeast toward the New Orleans area. Check that property’s actual airspace rather than applying it to every Baton Rouge site.
Where the flight area requires controlled-airspace authorization, we identify the applicable FAA process. LAANC may be available for eligible operations; airspace authorization for operations using an operational waiver follows the FAA’s designated process through FAADroneZone. An airport phone call is not a substitute for the required FAA authorization.
FAA authorization guidanceQualifying sporting events can trigger temporary flight restrictions affecting stadiums and surrounding areas. We review the applicable notices and show timing; venue permission or a routine airspace authorization alone does not remove these restrictions.
FAA stadium guidanceThe show plan also determines operational waiver requirements, including a multiple-aircraft waiver where one pilot operates multiple drones. New operational waiver applications use the FAA’s Aviation Safety Hub. Venue and landowner permission, crowd separation, and any local event permits are handled alongside the aviation review.
FAA waiver guidanceDiscuss the chosen greenspace, stage, street impacts, and event site plan with the Downtown Development District and applicable city-parish offices. Ground permission does not authorize flight.
Official planning guidanceCoordinate the specific event’s public access, traffic, and other local requirements alongside the distinct FAA and landowner reviews.

Tell us about your venue, whether it’s in the city or the wider metro. We’ll look at the proposed launch space and how your audience will experience the show.
Sites across the Mississippi or in neighboring parishes have different operators and permissions. River views, levees, trees, public paths, and aircraft activity require review at the exact address.
From the first conversation to the last light
We discuss your date, venue, audience, and creative direction, then review the setting and production requirements.
Our team builds the formations, movement, lighting, and choreography. You can explore the design before the performance.
We coordinate the show setup and on-site operation, with the site and conditions reviewed before flight.
A few things you might be wondering
A river view can shape the creative, but the actual land manager, levee access, vessel and public activity, trees, aircraft environment, and full flight footprint must be reviewed. An event reservation does not provide permission to use the river or levee for launch and recovery.
Start by sharing the address, event date, and any venue information you have. We review the proposed launch area, audience viewing position, access, surrounding airspace, and site conditions before confirming whether a show is feasible.
We welcome enquiries for Baton Rouge and surrounding communities including Port Allen, Zachary, Baker, Central, Denham Springs, Prairieville. Every proposed property needs an individual site and aviation review.
Yes. We design formations, colors, animation, and choreography around your story. Tell us which brand elements, personal details, and music matter to the event so we can discuss the creative direction.
Pricing depends on the number of drones, creative scope, event location, travel, and production requirements. Share your plans and we’ll prepare a quote for your event.
Contact us as soon as you have a date and a possible venue. Early planning gives us time to review the location, develop the show, and coordinate the event requirements. Availability depends on your date and production needs.
Weather is part of the planning and show-day review. We discuss operating conditions and contingency arrangements with you before the event; the final decision to fly depends on conditions on the day.
