Our idea revolves around exploring the changing of the seasons with an emphasis on Spring and Summer. We open with the end of Winter by showing the bridge in white to represent snow, and having it slowly melt into spring. We then have bright Spring flowers popping up as the bloom and transition into a willow tree swaying in the wind. The Summer rain then comes in and transitions into a Summer storm with lightning but then gets washed away by an ocean wave. After the storm and the wave end, the sun comes out and moves in the sky and then we settle into lush green leaves swaying in the wind. Finally, the green leaves change into Autumn colors and fall to the ground and the seasons are complete.

We seek to represent and elicit a collection of universal emotions using the lighting panels on the Randy Pausch Memorial Bridge. The show attempts to illustrate common attitudes or actions associated with each emotion with a curation of colors and various patterns and 2-D movement.

Throughout the show, the viewer will witness and hopefully experience happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, and surprise.

Our project takes the audience on a journey through space. We take off, travel through all the planets, and experience an explosive ending. Galactic brings the night sky down to Pittsburgh in an interpretive and an expressive way.

Warhol is one of our most famous alumni from the College of Fine Arts. This show would touch on 5 of his most famous paintings one at a time for about 3 minutes each. 

For each painting, the show would showcase each painting’s color, line, form, and overall feeling/emotion.  We will also be implementing different types of motion to showcase the different forms, lines, and colors in order to re-create each painting.

Here is the link to our testing video. There are three main sections to the video: waves, lightning, and snow melting into spring. Our main goals were to see how the effects worked or didn’t work, and if the colors were matching our expectations.

Below are the live demo we created for Happiness, Disgust and Anger.

Our main sections:

• Taking off: The lights turn on and then a strobe of colors go through to signify the rocket taking off.
• Stars Streaking: There will be a transition where the stars will start to glimmer and then the sun will appear.
• Sun: The solar flare will start with the center of the bridge

Timeline:

• Taking Off
  1. Start off with no lights
  2. Streak of red, blue, and black will appear to represent the rocket ship
  3. You can see the background changing from blue (Earth) to black when it has reached outer space
• Each of the planets
• Mercury
• Venus
• Earth

• Mars

• Jupiter
• Saturn

• Uranus
• Neptune
• Pluto
• Climax
  • Starting from when Pluto is shown as a single light in the distance
  • It slowly grows bigger and moves toward the center
  • Eventually it explodes in a big flash of white and then rainbow
  • Fade to Black

Questions:

• Given the linear fashion in which the lights are assembled, how should we mimic the rounded shape of the planets? Or do we leave it abstract?
