The annual
June Circuit Party Weekend in Orlando
featured Laser
Production Network’s (LaserNet)
“lasers gone wild” shows at three different
venues. With thousands of enthusiastic
dancers at each location, LaserNet president
Tom Harmon said the company pulled out
all the stops.
“It’s
a rarity that we get a client who has
the vision and desire to let us bring
out all the big toys and let us outdo
ourselves,” said Harmon. The three Florida
locations, all part of the annual Gay
Days celebration, included Hard Rock
Live, Universal Studio’s Sound Stage
21 and the Arabian Knights arena.
The Hard
Rock Live show featured LaserNet’s remote
Beam Dancers, projectors that channel
an aerial beam originating from across
the dance floor into a pair of x/y scanners.
In addition to the Beam Dancers
and 24 bounce mirrors, LaserNet added
a 10-watt white-light laser and a 25-watt
YAG fitted with three scan heads.. The
Arabian Kings Dinner Theatre after-hours
party for 4,000 people started at 2:00
am and went until 9:00 am. The arena
(used for horse jousting matches) was
converted to a dance floor where a 5-watt
white-light ScannerPro jammed to the
music.
To entertain
5,500 people at the Universal show,
LaserNet brought in six DMX-controlled
Beam Movers, which are large pan and
tilt mirrors that catch high-powered
beams from remote locations and sends
them back out over the audience. A white-light
system (20 watts of argon plus 5 watts
of krypton) included CTI scanner heads,
20 bounce mirrors, a 180-degree diffraction
fan, dual spinning diffraction gratings,
and two Beam Dancers.
Another
1,500 people jammed Universal’s outdoor
patio, which was decorated with a Jurassic
Park theme. A 30-foot tall T-Rex dinosaur
loomed over the patio, framed by laser
beams generated from a pair of LaserNet’s
25-watt ScannerPro projectors.
