| Approximately
2,800 firework shells are used for each show—more
than
twice
the number ever used in previous nighttime
shows at Epcot. |
|
|
|
| IllumiNations
makes use of 67
computers in 40 locations, hundreds of special
lighting fixtures, four fountain barges pumping
5,000 gallons of water per minute, a 150,000-pound
inferno barge with 37 nozzles to shoot propane
flames skyward, and a full color spectrum
of lasers
to produce the spectacular effects. |
|
|
|
| The laser display
features four custom colors created specially
for Disney: lagoon blue, mint green,
pumpkin orange,
and lavender. |
|
|
|
| The accompanying
musical score, composed by Gavin Greenaway
and supervised by Hans Zimmer, was recorded
by a 71-piece
philharmonic orchestra and a 30-voice chorus. |
|
|
|
| The floating
globe measures 28 feet in diameter and has
a video screen that covers the surface with
180,000 light emitting diodes. The gigantic
sphere rotates on a 350-ton floating island
that houses six computer processors, 258
strobe lights and an infrared guidance system. |
|
|
|
| The 19 torches
around the Lagoon represent the 19 centuries
that have passed. The 20th torch, representing
the 20th century, rises from the globe at
the end. |
|
|
|
| The images seen
on the floating globe came from the stock
libraries of Image Bank, National Geographic
and Archive
Films,
live
footage, and custom created 3-D graphic animation |
|
|
|
| Jim Cummings
(the voice of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, as
well as other characters) provided the narration
at the beginning of the show. |
