< The Aquarium of the Pacific is the fourth largest aquarium in the nation. It displays over 11,000 animals in more than 50 exhibits that represent the diversity of the Pacific Ocean.
In 2010 we designed the lighting for the new Sea Otters habitat and visitor area. While in 2011 we’ve been developing designs for the two million dollar expansion project “Science on A Sphere.”
We’ve previously designed the lighting for the Great Hall (pictured) and since then have developed and implemented designs for several galleries including Ocean on an Edge, Catch a Wave and “Whales, A Journey With Giants”.
< The Hollywood Wax Museum, located on famous Hollywood Boulevard along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is the longest running wax museum in the United States, with more than 45 years of continuous operation by the same owners since 1965.
< There is nothing more fun than lighting the iconic “Kermit The Frog” statue over the Jim Henson Studios building in Los Angeles. With difficult lighting positions to light “Kermit” evenly and softly, we decided to light him more “theatrically,” as if he were on a stage. So our awful lighting positions that would create harsh shadows; actually played a great roll in accommodating this atmosphere. We added a spotlight with a custom pattern focused onto the roof to create a “faux” shadow of Kermit to reinforce the look.
