Victoria Springs State Recreation Area is a gorgeous little piece of heaven surrounding a little lake that you can paddle out on little rental boats. There are trees everywhere! We set up in a huge field on the other side of the lake, and the night was just perfect – the haze drifted out forming […]
The town of Chadron is way up in the northwest corner of Nebraska, and this is where our first laser show was performed. We had quite a drive up through Texas and Colorado, seeing more and varied shades of green vegetation that I expected! And Chadron State Park is quite hilly, making for some interesting […]
I was very excited to plan and execute this show, because the Hood County Courthouse was the venue. What a building! We were able to stop by several times in the months before show day, and test the ongoing programming. The setting on show day, November 6, 2021, was just perfect. The laser show was […]
Our laser show was scheduled for Saturday, May 29, 2021; due to weather, everyone had to do some “fancy footwork” and the event was relocated and rescheduled for May 31. Lasers were set up just a few feet away from the airport, so we had to project away from the runway, and terminate the lasers […]
Keller Parks and Recreation was not able to put on their normal Christmas Tree Lighting in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic warnings against large gatherings of people in close proximity. We explored with them the possibility of having a series of short laser shows every half hour over several nights
For Luna Fete 2019 in New Orleans, I committed to creating an interactive laser installation using an Xbox Kinect to supply real-time data and draw images of the people interacting together in the Play Space. I chose to work within the program TouchDesigner because it gave me full access to the data that I wanted […]
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 […]
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 […]
