Lasers
So, a couple of years ago for Christmas at Revolution we wanted to basically turn our meeting space into an incredibly immersive night sky including planets, galaxies and stars. How did we end up doing it? Over 8,000 Christmas twinkle lights taped to the walls behind a sheer black fabric that covered every wall in the building. Actually worked out pretty darn cool, but the work was pretty ridiculous.
Looking back, I wish we would have had these. I’m posting this as my first post joining in Creative Chaos at Ragamuffin Soul. I feel kinda lame because it isn’t something we have done or can speak super knowledgeably about, but I would imagine it could be helpful to many of us in the future.
A friend I made here in Santa Cruz through a company we’ve been using for stage stuff at our church, Legend Theatrical, recently started his own company. His name in Kenny Green (that’s right friends…Kenny G) and his business is Lumina. They sell and rent lasers. Kenny moved to Santa Cruz a few years ago to be a part of planting a church and I had a chance to sit down with him several weeks ago over coffee and hear more about how God led him into this business. It’s a pretty cool story. And the lasers sounded pretty sweet, too. Would have been way easier to just use those things to project thousands of stars around the room for the effect we wanted to create!
He sells and rents the lights for special events. Maybe one of these days we can work out the time to do a demo for something and I can let you know how it goes. In the meantime, if you’re ever doing anything similar, or want to really spruce up a youth room, outdoor architecture or whatever other creative use you can think of for lasers, check him out and let us know what you think! Tell him I sent you over and I’m sure he’ll hook ya up too! Right Kenny?! 
Like I mentioned, this post is part of Creative Chaos at Ragamuffin Soul. Go by there every Thursday for all sorts of creative tips, tricks, secrets, and ideas. Happy blog surfing!
