Disney recently opened a Frozen musical at their Disneyland park to amazing reviews and crazy cool special effects. Just in this show they use projections, flying, tons of automation, video walls, lifts, puppets, animation, and so much more. It is truly beautiful. In case you haven't seen it yet, here it is:
One interesting effect is their followspot system. They seem to have multiple super bright projectors placed above the stage and around the theatre that is hooked up to a central computer. They actors all must be wearing sensors as well. But the computer must read where the sensors are, and create the followspot with the color and "gobo" that is set. Now this must be a projector because tracking with moving lights can get very difficult.
Does anyone know any more about this system/effect, or the other ones used in the show?
