The stunt was set up in Nassau County’s Fire Service Academy with 10 firefighters, two chiefs, gas masks and water on standby. All of this was necessary because the stunt involved creating a [human-shaped drone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-lightshow) that resembled The Human Torch from the movie. The [flaming drone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/very-ralph-documentary) was launched into the sky, recreating the look of a firey superhero flying through the sky. If this stunt was not accompanied by a gigantic number four that was also on fire, the people of New York might have truly believed that there were superheroes in their midst. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Promotional Drones:** Creating human-shaped drones for promotional stunts. - **Fantasy-inspired Stunts:** Recreating fictional characters or scenes in real-life stunts. - **Visual Effects in Promotions:** Using visual effects technologies to enhance promotional activities. ### Where This Applies - **Film and Entertainment:** Utilizing innovative promotional strategies in the film industry. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Exploring unique and attention-grabbing advertising techniques. - **Drone Technology:** Developing advanced drone capabilities for various applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Extreme-Heat Firefighting Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firedrone-by-empa.md) - [Next-Gen Wildfire Rescue Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefly-x01-fire-rescue-drone.md) - [Levitating Firefighting Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefighting-robot.md) - [Dragon-Themed Drone Light Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legend-of-the-dragon-gate.md) - [Superhero Snack Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-ghost-chilli-chicken-wings.md) - [Drone Marketing Initatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-shows.md) - [Helicopter-Towed Digital Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-gaiden-4.md) - [Heavy Payload-Accommodating Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefly-drone.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Pizza Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reward-challenge.md)
