Paint the Night Parade

This picture was taken from the Paint the Night Parade. I really loved how Disney managed to merge together an electrifying, almost club-like feel while still keeping that element of magic to the lights in this parade. The lights were synchronized with a remix of Owl City's "When Can I See You Again." The movement really added to the upbeat feeling of the parade. There was a rainbow of bright colors in this show. Each float had a color theme that was associated with the movie. Disney was "painting the night" with lights in quick, bold strokes that were very dazzling. It was almost overwhelming because the lights were so bright and so up close. It kind of reminded me of pointillism. It also reminds me of fireworks. In the first float, the lights behind Tinkerbell look like a poof of pixie dust that swirl together to create a kind of vortex that invites the audience to get sucked into the excitement and energy of this parade.  Tinkerbell's wings and dress are lighted, but it bugged me that we couldn't see most of the cast members' faces, but I understand that the designers had to be selective. The show was focused on the spectacle of the floats more than the face characters. I thought it was interesting that the characters in suits were given more face light than the live characters. This light parade is a great way to end the night for most of the guests.
