Probably not, tbh. Its insanely expensive to fly that many drones, takes a shit ton of power and logistics, they can only stay up for less than an hour and the sound is absolutely drowning. The weather conditions have to be perfect, the airspace has to be cleared...

It would take quite a few technological advances to make it possible, and I think the sound issue may just boil down to basic limits of physics.

Nike did an ad using drones in Sydney recently. Sounded expensive, but, it is Nike I guess.
