VIVID

So we didn’t quite make it to the rugby game…..We were all ready to go but then we heard that Vivid was having its opening night down at the harbor. Once a year during the last week in May and first week in June, Sydney puts on a huge lights festival every night, called Vivid. Artists essentially create movies and they project these onto all of the buildings down at the harbor. It is pretty incredible because they get the light projections to perfectly match up with the building (no small feat when that building is the opera house, see pics below they are crazy). The harbor was packed, there were light shows and attractions all over, music blasting, and tons of food vendors. (Don’t worry the food gets  its own post). With Vivid here every night to keep us entertained, Sydney seems to get better and better.

Video played on continuous loop

even the locals participate

shadows- the play of light on dark was unbelievable

precise animation, especially as she moved across the sails

It is hard to tell but the detail on this was incredible

All of the lights
