Light Show in Iron Man 2

[Corbettlight]

Has anyone sen Iron Man 2 yet? The lighting rig in the Stark Expo was utterly shocking. I can't even imagine how much it cost them.

I was impressed at first with the hundreds of MAC-looking lights doing cool and crazy stuff. Then I see the telltale LED ring of a SHOWGUN. But wait, the beams are splitting in two... I suppose they're SHOWBEAMS! I just thought it was pretty over-the-top, but cool, of course, to have such a ridiculous number and ridiculously high end (no pun intended) lights.

Then again, the budgets for these movies are massive.

I assumed a bunch of it was CGI, the fireworks especially. That's awesome.

Did anyone notice that they tried to pass off an EOS as the control system for the drones?

It is actually a V676 from PRG.

I guess the encoder wheels were on the wrong side... oops

All I noticed in that movie was that one of the SM57's on the podium wasn't plugged in... there wasn't even an attempt made to cover it, i could see the pin!

That's what happens when you take a technician to a movie/concert/theater/etc....

(I'm the same way Morpheus, no hard feelings. Once bit, always bit.)

People hate going to movies like IM2 with me, because I try and pick out all the stuff that isnt what they are trying to use it for... Im sort of a nerd.
