Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular - Nighttime Show

[Hatetofly]

Uhh someone at Universal or a contractor in this case got themselves a good video. :thumbs:

Awesome find, BJCool! :rep: That looked amazing! And the angle was great, you could even see fireworks in the distance

Truly Spectacular and a total blast! Wish I would've been there in person!

It would be cool if every once in a while they do a big dance party around the lagoon, something like this... Looked like a lot of fun!

Its atop Nazermans if I'm not mistaken btw

Looking up Blaine Gathman, who posted the video on YouTube, it looks like he has delved into show lighting, and has some ties to theme parks. Though he looks much too young to be a contractor himself, maybe family of one? :shrug:

Looking this up is pointless, though... Who cares...

This is what happens to me when there's all these rumors and whispers of theme park projects and wars, and I'm left to be consumed by curiosity, anxiety and boredom... and nothing to do :look:

The longest video of the NYE show (that I could find) shot from a normal viewing area:

I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I personally didn't do much research and I just assumed it'd be a countdown and then the normal CineSpec. I had a terrible view, but it was still lots of fun.

 

[BJCool]

Was there even a countdown? Based on the videos, the show just ends awkwardly with no buildup.

 

[BrianC]

Ya, the countdown was at 11:59. And it was for the show to start / midnight. But it was a short countdown, it was only like 6 seconds.

Thanks for the reply. :thumbs:

You are the search master


Thanks BJC :rep:

Really wish I could've been there to see it. That aerial video of the show was fantastic, I'm still deeply in love with those lasers.

Full NYE show shot from an elevated angle that I can't quite figure out:

The angle looks like could be Lombards balcony or the show control booth

NYE show segment that begins at the end of the countdown and the start of the music lineup (includes Nicki Minaj and Imagine Dragons).

Looks like the new wall in the Central Park viewing area is almost done . . .

 

[BJCool]

^The red color choice for the wall looks somewhat odd to me. :shrug:

I'm hoping that's just the first coat of many. And that the final product will be a dark distressed look brick or stone.

It's probably just primer.

 

[Felipe]

Thanks for the update, Bob!

Everything but the pink looks great! Love the detail on there. Hopefully the pink is just primer...

 

[BamaToTheBone]

A pink/red color as a primer makes zero sense. Red and yellows are the absolute hardest colors to cover and to cover with. The only thing that makes sense is, as Bob said, the first coat to a distressed look, or that's the color they're going to be. You only use a red primer with a different topcoat when it's ferrous metals, and you use an iron oxide primer. And even then you can usually get a white version of the same primer.
