A Night in Atlantis – a homecoming setup too wide for the camera!!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Schools

WOW! This setup was wide, wide enough that even I wasn’t too sure how we’d make it fit– but sure enough we did!
The theme was Night in Atlantis, so with a custom logo was made for them by yours truly.

Our uplights added just the right colors and shadows arounds around the décor as special effects lighting created a “water reflection” along the walls. Two 14′ wide screens showed music videos and live video as a the center screen, 17.5′ wide, showed a giant aquarium.

Oh yeah, and we brought out massive light and sound show– but that’s how we do when we have 1100+ students!

Alex Gilliard and Tim Hicklin (Storybook Weddings) graciously tagged along to shoot some great footage. Tim shot the setup and Alex took photos of the dance itself. Any sub-par video was shot by our Flip as Tim wasn’t there for the dance itself. Tim drove all the way from Lakeland and Alex came in right after a wedding in Wauchula (over 2 hours away). These vendors are dedicated to their work and I appreciate all their help!

Check out the photos and videos below.. they’re all worth watching. My wife took the first two photos and shot the last video. I edited all the videos, so don’t blame Tim for my sub-par editing job on this one! lol

The logo was converted to a GOBO.

You can see the uplights as well as the water reflection. The pictures do no justice as you can’t see how it had a realistic movement.

Derek, Monica, myself, and Chevy! Best crew ever!

And now some videos… here’s where it gets unique!

The first one is a quick time-lapse, truly a must-see!

The second video is a pretty cool speed-documentary of the setup!

The third one is a super quick video of the entire setup!

Finally– the dance itself!
