Video: How to Destroy a Building With Light | Wired Design | Wired.com: After modeling the storyboard on proprietary software and testing it on the mini-Boardwalk Hall, Montreal-based Moment Factory took the show to Atlantic City. Over two weeks, team members installed 12 projectors, each shining with 20,000 lumens, and 12 servers to run them. With four projectors on a pair of towers in front of the building, and the rest mounted on it, there were still spots where they didn’t shine, so the team included hundreds of LED fixtures that blend seamlessly into the show. To that they added 15 surround-sound speakers and five subwoofers to broadcast an original score. The price for such an elaborate setup was in the millions; even the windows were hung with a special mesh fabric to keep the image sharp.
