Brian and Manny were on hand to help Walt Disney Studios launch Pirates IV at Disneyland. Kermit hosted the black carpet for E! and we had his back making sure he looked fabulous on camera. Manny, as he has for the other three films, lit all of Town Square and Main street for broadcast. Brian, also as he has for the other three films, lit the theater, band and cast presentation.
The press on the 800' long Black Carpet was lit for broadcast. We also lit all of Town Square and Main Street to create a backdrop of lit by the setting sun. By arraying fixtures on the the roof tops, we were able to maintain a consistant broadcast lighting condition throughout the 2 hours the press were conducting interviews.
In the theater, which was built over the river, Brian helped to completely transform Tom Sawyer's island lighting up the stage and waterfalls to take on the flavor of the film.
He also lit up the night sky with search lights to frame the theater.
All in all it was an event on a scale that only Disney could pull off.
