inspector4 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 That's exactly what I was thinking. I wonder what happens to that equipment after the show. Who ends up with it? It's not like there will be another event like this next week. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like there will be another event like this next week. Steve My guess is some company that sets up concert lighting owns the equipment. Of course this is just a guess because I have no idea how it really works. It would be interesting to know how it is done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobertB 14 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I thought some fellow PC'ers would like that show ;-) Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Will Sanders 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I do know they are using a hippotizer for running the video into the floor structure. Other than that, I don't think it is color kinetics, more likely Barco or Element Labs. Will Sanders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhays 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Looked like versatubes..... many many dmx universes in that thing. I was thinking that wireless dmx has probably really helped with the quick setup and teardown.. I wonder what the moving heads all the way up at the top of the stadium were? Talk about bright!

NH - Dave 23 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Agree - awesome lights, but the music...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alfram 10 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I would never have thought twice about that cool effect if I wasn't into animated lighting. Kind of a curse in a way, because instead of enjoying the show, I was too busy trying to figure out how to keep the snow off it if I had that in my my front yard.

eldoradoboy 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I didnt pay attention to the music.. my friends were all laughing at me because they were talking about how old the band was and how they missed lip syncs and such.. and im just like "wow the lights.. i gotts figure out how to build that"... was wondering if i make it out of Galaxia or something.. if it was DMX it would likely be running Art-Net or such which can handle 256 DMX512 universes.. moving head fixtures will always look brighter on TV cameras but they were neat! as far as to what happens to the equipment more than likely for a special event like that it was rented.. if the band was on tour and thats part of their normal show then the band would likely own it.. -Christopher Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roger 15 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 A friends lighing company supplied the Lasers and most of the lighting, I will ask him to give me a bug out sheet and post it, that will give us a detail list of everything used. I have a copy of the action sheet, thats the light board mans cue cover, will try and scan it in today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kirkmbrown2001 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I am almost positive I saw a commercial for the TruTV channel that they will be airing a show tonight (monday) about "Behind the scenes" of the superbowl. They might show how they did the lighting and special effects. Just thought I would let you know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matthew in lex ky 10 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 When and where can I get one of these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orville Fugitte 10 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 mega tree reminds me of the some of the effects the stage. That has to be the MEGA TREE of all Mega Trees! That was totally awesome. WOW! Would I love to have something like that in my front yard for my display! But can you imagine the cost? 6,000 channels and 2,000 individually controlled RGB LED's sure can't be cheap or even mildly expensive, that tree must've cost a small fortune to do. I thnik those RGB LED's when they finally get to be inexpensive enough for many of us to purchase, they would definitely help cut down on our time of stringing up several different strings of single color lights. But until those come way, way down in price. I'll stick with the cheapo Wal-Mart and other retail store LED strings for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eldoradoboy 0 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) mega tree reminds me of the some of the effects the stage. it is VERY awesome... I do believe it was made with this project. http://response-box.com/rgb/ ive been talking to these guys, their product is going to rock when it is fully out... it will be fully DMX / Art-Net compatible..... I also believe the superbowl-wheel could easily be done with CCR's.. in my yard probably 12 ribbons would do the Job..... if they made a version of the ribbon that was cut in half it would work even better.. as a nice 10 foot diameter might make a neat display element... -Christopher Edited February 9, 2010 by eldoradoboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is the designer the stage show. "The galvanizing performance was buoyed by the most spectacular stage ever built for a Super Bowl, designed by Bruce Rogers.." (Actually his name is spelled Bruce Rodgers). He has designed the past few superbowls halftime stages with touring/production company PRG. SUPER BOWL XLII PRG uses Color Kenetics products in many of their stage setups. I'll put money on the light strips are LOTS of these Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChadH 0 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 PRG uses Color Kenetics products in many of their stage setups. I'll put money on the light strips are LOTS of these Wow! I just looked those up and they are $4000 a piece:eek: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meman 10 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hope that was only a $1 bet According to the pro lighting bloggers it was 3200+ Barco Mistrips controlled by a Hippotizer video server. Relatively old news in the "money is no object" world of mega productions...but still pretty impressive for us DIY light guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
