EFYI Group and Tianjin University in China officially won the Guinness World Record for the longest animation performed by unmanned aerial vehicles with its display of Van Gogh artworks recreated in the night sky in Tianjin via 600 Agile Bee II drones.
The total time for the animation lasted 26 minutes and 19 seconds and was performed in December 2020. In order to be considered, the event had to generate 12 images per second in order to be considered animated by Guinness.
During the event, the drones recreated pieces of several works by famous painter Vincent Van Gogh, including Wheat field with Cypresses, Cypresses and Two Women, The Mulberry Tree in Autumn, Almond blossoms, Sunflowers, Bedroom in Arles, as well as his famous Starry Night and Self-Portrait.
Vincent van Gogh’s
Starry Night has returned to its celestial origins, setting a Guinness World Record in the process.
Hundreds of neon-lit drones took to the night s sky over China s Tianjin University to tell the story of the Dutch post-impressionist and pay tribute to his works.
The 600 drones mapped out several instantly recognisable motifs from the painter’s oeuvre, including the crescent Moon and spirals of light in the
Starry Night. The drones also flew in formations alluding to the painter’s self-portraits, as well as works such as
The Mulberry Tree in Autumn and the
Sunflowers series.
