I thought that the article descriped a truly innovative use of lighting and projection design. Designing the warm lights for the initially social encounters to the cooling lights as the conversation lulled was particularly creative and the integration of a space shuttle in the projected recreation of King Tut's tomb was truly a fascinating idea. The amount of machinery and time that went into this one Gala must have been immense and I am impressed by the creativity used in creating a truly magnificent environment for the gala.
Also the redundancies in creating still stores from screen grabs was a truly creative way of making sure that there were no black spots if there were issues with projectors, and overall was something I likely never would have come up with on my own and most certainly would never have had the technical know how to create a still store of the image that stored onto the projector and projected if the projector lost signal.
