Pink Floyd laser shows return after a three year absence

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – It thrilled audiences for three decades before fading to black in 2012. Now the famous Pink Floyd laser light show is back and in a new home.

It’s been more than three years since the last show at the HR MacMillan Space Centre, now Craig McCaw and his Roundhouse Productions are setting up shop inside the much smaller planetarium at the BCIT campus in Burnaby.

“It’s about half the size but it does have a beautiful old opto-mechanical star projector,” he explains. “And we’ll be using both digital and analog stars so we have kind of the best of both worlds, plus the full-blown video.”

Despite the smaller space McCaw insists the show is better than ever. “We created the first multi-camera, full-dome rig…for sure in Canada [and] one of the first in the world, where we stitch five or six video streams together and create a seamless full-dome image.”

The shows happen Friday and Saturday nights at 8:15, 9:20, and 10:25.

McCaw adds they’ll be asking audiences for future content ideas as they go.
