This is interesting. When the designer is talking about starting form an old school lighting look to a more modern look at the end, reminded me of the show Rain that I saw in New York. That show starting with a pretty basic white look with a bunch of moving lights and I was thinking where is all of the color and movement, when you could have done this with a bunch of source fours. As the show went on they started to show color. I wonder if this is the same with the adding of color. With the pictures that they provide in the article the show seems really good for a theme park. I wonder if the theme parks are going this way in the way for their shows, if so that is preyty cool.
