I have been traveling to Edinburg, TX in early April recently to add a laser light show to the popular “Out of This World!” UFO Festival & Conference. The show is presented on Friday night in the Edinburg Municipal Auditorium, which was built in 1926 and is in outstanding shape. The first year that I […]
Intriguing architecture, perfect October weather, and Beatles music – this was an evening to remember! When the North Richland Hills Parks and Recreation Department contacted me about doing a show here, I did not see an opportunity to use the building itself as a projection screen. I began making plans to set up a normal […]
We had an opportunity to project lasers upon the Nebraska State Capitol Building in Lincoln, NE for the final Sesquicentennial Celebration Party – what a party! What a show! After conducting a test on August 7, we had a month to prepare for the party on September 22, 2017. The Nebraska State Capitol is an […]
My first impression upon getting a request from the Frederick Arts and Humanities Council for a “dinner in the street” laser show was excitement – there were buildings everywhere! Maybe some of them would be good candidates for laser mapping. When I visited Frederick to plan the show, it became apparent that the charming Ramona […]
With some possibilities of super wide screen laser projections coming up this year, I want to master the art of combining multiple laser projectors into one super wide screen laser projection with less flicker as an added benefit. I started by setting up three test patterns side by side. […]
I went nuts last month for “laser mapping” an oak tree! I thought it would look cool to have highly controlled laser beams moving around an oak tree, drawing words and patterns upon the tree and following its shape. Once I thought about it, I could not get it out of my mind. I selected […]
When we walked in to set up at Day For Night Festival in Houston, we found a huge installation of red lasers covering several hundred feet of the second floor of the Barbara Jordan Post Office. I knew that this was the activation of “Tundra”, and I soon figured out that the group from Russian […]
Once again Urban 15 and Laser Spectacles took command of the Lila Cockrell Theater in the newly renovated San Antonio Convention Center for two days of laser light shows performed for thousands of school children. We set up a total of 13 lasers and carefully positioned the beam effects between the balconies. We created many […]
The North Carolina State Fair found Laser Spectacles when the Agricultural Commissioner decided that the lake and its fountain could use a laser light show element. We placed a high power RGB laser on each side of the lake, and flanked each one with a smaller RGB laser to spread out the laser show. Four […]
We’ve always had a fondness for hands on interactive museums, so when the Don Harrington Discovery Center wanted to celebrate it’s 40th Anniversary with lasers, we jumped at the chance! The show was planned for August 6, 2016, a Saturday night. Several locations were looked at for the laser show, and we finally settled on […]
