John Huntington | I've been following this show's progress for a couple years, and I'm still hoping to get out to California to see it this summer, but in the meantime, Disney has posted this interesting video, featuring Senior Technical Director Chuck Davis:
You can see the lighting console (GrandMA, I think, but notice that, as usual, the lawyers have prevented any actual useful information from escaping). Thanks Dave Christoffers for the facebook link!

Oh, and it looks like they are taking the show on the road! (to California, anyway)

There wasn't much real tech info in the video but I tried to figure out what a lot of the gear was in the background. I spotted the FTSI logo on the bottom right of the 6 big screens. I believe they're using Fisher Tech's Navigator to run the 3 submersible platforms. There is also an AMX panel of some sort on the left side of the GrandMA. Not much else was recognizable but I'm thinking it might be Medialon behind the host. I'm hoping to hear more about it in the future.
I've heard that pixel mapping was done by GreenHippo. They have some crazy ways to light the water streams.
