Here’s a short YouTube video of the Empire State Building tricked out for Independence Day, 2013.
The Empire State Building and Macy’s partnered to put on an Independence Day LED tower light show, created by world-famous lighting design artist Marc Brickman. It was designed and choreographed to the music curated by Usher for the fireworks. They’ve got about a bazillion LED lights changing with the music. The Empire State Building is apparently the only building in the world with the capability of creating synchronized light shows with a palette of more than 16 million colors and sparkle and fade effects.
Since they’re planning on an Empire State Building Halloween show – an electrifying LED tower light show synchronized to hit Halloween songs via Clear Channel radio, I figured I’d post now and then again when it hits YouTube. it’s really cool
Update: Got a media alert with more information about the Empire State Halloween show. Here’s the info about radio channels, the songs chosen and best viewing locations. Darn, sure wish PITA and I were gonna be sitting in Bryant Park for this one (although it’s probably a trifle cold)!
