TED CONFERENCE OPENING:
TRUTH AND DARE

The 2015 TED conference opened with the super slow motion film TRUTH AND DARE, presented on a 90' wide screen. Christopher Webb engineered a practical effects solution which put the brick on an exact path to collide with optical glass hiding in the center of the frame. Once broken, the glass shards and fine particles become illuminated by dozens of high powered projection lights with high speed power systems custom built by Chris at his FX WRX. The lingering nebula of color is the result of glass particles in the air interacting with the various light sources. All effects were originated in-camera, with the exception of the text.
