www.eventplanner.net: Now we’re ready to run physical events again, we’ll need to ramp up the special effects so our attendees can enjoy a post-crisis celebration. And although we’ll all need to respect new rules when planning and attending events, special effects can relax the mood and make the attendance experience extraordinary again.

When I think of special effects, I think of big, crazy, in-your-face kinds of special effects the likes of pyro, lasers, smoke, confetti cannons, and such visuals. This article expanded my views of special effects to include the effects just as special, which are not necessarily as intense. The article also reminded me that special effects are not just reserved for live events and entertainment. One of the examples listed was a company which specializes in creating in depth, immersive environments through the use of audiovisual effects. For instance, the strategic placement of screens in common areas which can be windows to an alternate reality or setting – such as a forest of trees in the middle of a hotel common area, or an alternate reality with imagery and objects which simply do not exist. It is a very interesting concept and line of thought to consider the not to in-your-face special effects. It has made me rethink how I personally define special effects, as well as where and when they are used. I really liked the chandeliers in particular – chandeliers are visually stunning, and implementing various levels of color control into them is an excellent idea.
I didn't really expect to see ideas like furniture styling and themed decorative displays listed under the heading "Special Effects." To me, special effects are things like fireworks, smoke, fire, lasers, etc. Things that are large, extravagant, unexpected, and just create a crazy wow factor all on its own. That being said, I get where this article is coming from. The concepts and items they have listed are absolutely things that are unexpected for a lot of events. Thus, this makes them special. Now, I am not sure if effects are how I would describe something like a piece of furniture no matter how special it is, but a headline is supposed to entice a reader which it did but using the words special effects. To me, this was a little bit of false advertising, but I still enjoyed the article. I also enjoyed the article because I am interested in events, and that really was the reason I clicked on it.
