circumstantial tree Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 What did everybody think of the film footage, lighting, and overall set design? I was pretty impressed! Loved the munchkin theme going on. The popcorn popper, the brain inside the jar, the old victrola. The multitude of smaller screens that were moving around in the air was great! The Garden video was one of the best! The added footage to Force Ten with all the tornados and rescue efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckiller Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I was blown away: each song had something unique about its lighting. Carnies had the red and white beams, Red Sector A had the shifting colors, the rain effect in The Wreckers...The Anarchist had the red screens, Clockwork Angels had the floating screens simulating flying angels...the Force Ten montage...it was fantastic. Best visual show they've done, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best visual show they've done, IMO. I'm a tornado buff, so I was thrilled with the footage there including the classic ASOH visuals with the sheep. The explosions were a bit much and I think Geddy even mentioned he was unprepared. It was loud! The rain effect for Wreckers was indeed very good! The two headed man (with Geddy and Alex's heads on one body) and the bearded lady (Neil) for "Carnies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.RUSH Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 From what i've seen on youtube, the lighting doesn't look much different than time machine tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the placement of the strings behind Neil - they looked so cool playing behind the band, yet their sound was never imposing. They were all smiling and were definitely enjoying themselves (and rocking out) but didn't detract any attention from the band. The visual of their bows moving when the band was rocking was an indelible image. Wow! I liked the stage with the giant alchemy symbol (circle in triangle) on a crimson field. Geddy's gear driven synths (7 basses on tap last night for those keeping track - a baby blue one I hadn't seen - all J-basses). He had a popcorn machine (corny) that fed into a processor (horny), that fed into a brain (brainy), that fed into a victrola style speaker (bassy). Neil's drum riser had a really cool greenish glow through port holes like the Nautilus in 20,000 Leagues. All of the string players, and Neil, had different numbers from the clock on their shirts. The pyrotechnics were *huge* especially during Carnies. I loved the purple and blue lighting and moving screens with the silhouette of the bird in flight (CA I think). Alex's side was obscured from my seats, I only saw large silver discs and a translucent glow. An excellent light show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 How about the chicks in the French maid uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckiller Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Haha, that was great. I think this was their best effects/light show. It's one of those visual spectacles that's best seen from afar. From where I was seated, in Section 201, I was able to take it all in and it was incredible. Loved it more than the spider from last year! Yeah, the overall concert/explosions were a little too loud. Still liked 'em for the "shock value" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opsopcopolis Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 QUOTE (Snaked @ Sep 8 2012, 10:10 AM) The end of Carnies was epic This. I loved the videos and lighting. Seemed much more original (coloring wise at least) than Time Machine. Overall it was just a very good use of visuals. The rain in Wreckers was probably my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
