VanMeterDJ4 10 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks for the reminder. I saw the advertisement earlier today. Not a problem. Only reason I remembered is my blackberry alerted me. When I saw the commercial for it I put it on my calendar in my phone. Gotta love technology:D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bill V 65 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 What kind of controllers do they use? AL, at least that is what was used last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhays 0 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 AL, at least that is what was used last year. Looked more like a theatrical lighting console. They also made it seem like they didn't do the sequencing until the entire display was installed... strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmxwidget 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Looked more like a theatrical lighting console. They also made it seem like they didn't do the sequencing until the entire display was installed... strange. I was able to get a personal tour of the whole system the first year (2006) that they implemented the "Spectacle of Dancing Lights" at MGM (Hollywood Studios). They got custom made AL boxes and used a Flying Pig Systems iPC for control. The iPC had SMPTE timecode running into it from the audio playback system. It actually isn't weird that they waited for the entire system to be installed before they started. All entertainment ventures usually wait to program until everything is setup because the pre-visualization software that is available is very expensive and it isn't designed for christmas lights. Although it is possible to setup for pre-visualization, it wouldn't be practical because of the amount of time it takes to draft anything in a 3D environment, especially a system as complex as they use for their holiday lights. They also launched a new tour this year about the holiday lighting throughout the WDW resort, so If you are going to be in Florida, it might be something to check out. here is a link with more information. http://land.allears.net/blogs/michaelbachand/2009/12/holiday_dlights_tour_at_walt_d_1.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmxwidget 0 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 After watching the program, they are still using the same lighting designer that they used when they originally did the Spectacle of Dancing Lights in 2006. They are also still using the same console type, which is a Flying Pig Systems Hog iPC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
