Light Show Storyboard
Left to right
Start slow showing each color:
- Carnegie Red
- Black
- Iron Gray
Speed up showing each color

- Black
- Iron Gray
Inspiration/Concept Images
Description
The carnival will start with introducing our school pride. We will show the CMU colors, first slowly introducing each color to provide an anticipation effect. After the four key colors are showcased, it will speed up and run through one more time representing excitement.
Part 2: Transition into Buggy Show
Light Show Storyboard
Bridge divided into 20 different parts, red and White chunks alternating
For first 5 seconds:
Red and white blocks of color move down the bridge to capture the excitement of buggy race/carnival starting
Next:
Starting from the middle, the bridge starts turning white one by one (or we can turn the lights off?)
End:
All white lights or fully off
Inspiration/Concept Images
Description
Red-and-white colors spinning, followed by opening from the center to reveal the next scene
Part 3: Countdown
Light Show Storyboard
Dimmer Bounce
Start:
Fully off
After 2 sec:
First section light (from the left) turns on
After 1 sec:
Next section turns on
…
End:
After the bridge is fully illuminated, the lights can blink really fast to signify the start of the race
Inspiration/Concept Images
Description
Starting the bridge fully off then gradually illuminating it starting from the left (10 sections), then bursts of light to signify the start of the race.
Part 4: Race: Front Hills (Pushers 1 and 2)
Light Show Storyboard
(See description)
Inspiration/Concept Images
Description
Two buggies (blue and green?) starting on the left side of the bridge, with orange “pushers” standing right next to them; each pusher slowly speeds up their buggy and then hands off to the next pusher (total of 4 pushers, 2 buggies)
Part 5: Race: Freeroll
Light Show Storyboard
Two buggies, represented by colors from storyboard panel 4, start from the right of the bridge and move left with one color entering the scene slightly earlier (the same color which was in front on the previous scene). In the middle of the bridge, the slower color overtakes the other color and arrives at the left of the bridge sooner, the scene ends after both buggies leave the bridge.
Inspiration/Concept Images
Description
Buggies move fast across the bridge, possibly looping around multiple times, with a clear blue/green backdrop. At one point, the rear buggy should pass the front buggy. Near the end, the buggy starts slowing down. Each buggy is represented by the colors from storyboard panel 4.
The sound design could include the sounds of wheels on gravel and cheering.
Part 6: Race: Back Hills (Pushers 3, 4, and 5)
Light Show Storyboard
Both buggies move from left to right, slowing down and passed off between orange pushers. At the end of the bridge they both stop, one having clearly reached the end first.
Inspiration/Concept Images
Description
Buggies slow down and are then pushed by orange pushers, handing off twice, until reaching the finish line (total of two buggies and six pushers). One buggy should obviously be in front during this part (having them pass during this part might make it harder to follow) and then when the buggy crosses the finish line then it starts flashing and the entire bridge fades to that color
Part 7: Winner’s Circle
Light Show Storyboard
Flashing patterns of the winning buggy’s color
Inspiration/Concept Images
Description
The buggy winner is celebrated with flashing lights in the color of the winning buggy, mimicking confetti. The color can take over from storyboard panel 6 by moving across the bridge from right to left, and then strobing (gently).
