Q
Picturing Tomorrow
Director Brad Bird (left, red hat), Miranda and crew line up a shot with Robertson.
Not all the lighting involved
interactive techniques, of course, but
there were other challenges to deal with
along the way. When the production
76
traveled to the Kennedy Space Center's
historic Launch Pad 39A - the erstwhile launch point of dozens of Apollo
and Space Shuttle missions - for a
night rocket-launching scene, there was
simply no way to light the pad's 700'-tall
tower for a moonlit ambience. According
to Tickell, at the time Tomorrowland
visited the location, plans were already
underway to dismantle the tower after
the site had been leased to a private
company. "They had disconnected the
power to it," Tickell says. "In the end, the
production ended up paying to reinstate
the power [to specific sections of the
tower], and that made the tower self-illuminating.
"We then purchased a bunch of
low-pressure sodium-vapor lights that
basically matched what was on the tower,
and placed them on the ground around
the different areas where we were shooting, moving them around as needed,"
Tickell continues. "We would put some
sources of light up on the platform, just
to create some odd little backlight here or
there. But for the most part it was just the
lighting of the tower and the positioning
of the sodiums that lit the whole area."
