Since my last blog post not much has changed. Slowly, everyday I work a little farther into my laser show to perfect it. I am working slow so it will be as perfect as I can get it. However I am very limited with Beyond as there isn’t enough animations to use. It takes me a while to find a animation that even remotely correlates with the music while producing a story. I have been making progress though and the show is becoming much better than my previous show.
This show will be better because I am starting to fully understand Beyond and the way it works. Mr. Jacob Phillips has been a great help to show me the way the animations are positioned and the way to make them move how I would like. This different positioning and layout is making this show better than my last one, However I believe in my previous laser show it was a better story time line. But when utilizing Beyond, since it is so limited it’s Hit or Miss when designing a show with music if they have enough animations to finish the show while telling a story.
One huge road block I have ran into is making the Laser Show tell a story. I know what I want for the show and animations to correlate with the lyrics to the music to preform a story, however I cannot find every animation to match with the music as I would want. One way I have found to ram through this roadblock is to just write out the lyrics it is saying and only write the important lyrics that kind of visualize a scene into your head.
