Wildfire Lighting and Visual Effects Enhances Disney Cruise Lines Pirates in the Caribbean Party
LOS ANGELES, CA and PORT CANAVERAL, FL - March 15, 2005 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Wildfire Lighting and Visual Effects (www.wildfirefx.com), a world leader in the creation of ultraviolet visual effects for themed architectural and entertainment based venues, today announced that they will provide a UV sensitive scenic mural of a ship for Disney Cruise Lines' Pirates in the Caribbean party. Through the use of Wildfire's high powered UV lighting fixtures and scenic effects, the mural, which begins as a peaceful vessel sailing through friendly seas, is transformed into a tattered pirate ship, adrift in a stormy ocean.
"We're delighted to be working with Disney Cruise Lines through PRG who contracted us, to enhance the Pirates in the Caribbean party experience, and help bring a sense of adventure to life for party guests," said John Berardi, Vice President of Wildfire Lighting andVisual Effects.
"In addition to the transformative effect of the ship itself, we were delighted to have the opportunity to work on an outdoor installation for the first time for a cruise line of this caliber. This project was doubly challenging from a practical standpoint because these effects were installed on a cruise ship moving through the water and had to be able to endure the sometimes extraordinary stressors of the sea.
Specially modified fixtures that could withstand salt water were painted white to match the ship and then had to be weather sealed and permanently mounted on board. We learned a great deal through this process, and are very pleased with the results."
Since 1989, Wildfire Lighting and Visual Effects has been providing the entertainment industry with the highest quality ultraviolet lighting fixtures, special effects paints, creative materials, and scenic art for the creation of stunning ultraviolet visual effects. Wildfire's special magic of light and color can be seen at attractions around the world including Caesar's Palace, the Luxor Hotel and Casino, Sea World, Universal Studios and Walt Disney attractions on three continents.
