Moving Lights and Pyro for Bastille Day

PLSN: "LD Alexander Junca used nearly 100 Robe moving lights supplied by Impact Evénement to light up the smoky skies above Paris on July 14, the anniversary of the 1789 storming of the Bastille fortress and prison. Some of the lights were rigged on three trussing circles — one with a 20-meter diameter, the other two with six-meter diameters — which were also rigged with their own pyro."

This must be so much fun to program, as well was probably awesome to see. I think that as the ages progress we will start to see greater expense and planning put into public festivals (such as Bastille Day, or Fourth of July, etc...).

I still think that's a funny holiday. I mean, I guess we have weirder ones, and at least they are celebrating it in style! The picture looks really neat.

Not to mention expensive.

Imagine being asked to do a light show for such a major national holiday. And in such an incredible venue. To think and work on such a scale (and with such a budget!) must be quite an experience. I hope everyone involved was pleased with the results of their labor. Gotta love the French.
