Watch 958 drones create a 400-foot tall Time cover in lights instead of pixels

The iconic red border and masthead on Time magazine for the issue now nestled on newsstands wasn't created by graphic design software. The Time cover for the June 11 issue was instead created by 958 flying drones -- and shot by another drone. For the Time special-edition Drone Report, the magazine created the cover in the sky using Intel's Shooting Star, a fleet of drones and software used to create UAV light shows. The in-flight cover was shot in Folsom, California, on May 3, with the special edition issue available beginning today, June 1. Time's cover is the first that was shot on a drone.
