Blast from the Past: The Conan Stunt Show

I haven't seen very many IMD projects that incorporate live-action theater (or stunts), so in one of my final reBlog posts this week, I thought it'd be interesting to travel 20 years back in time and visit the Adventures of Conan stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The behind-the-scenes video above discusses the use of cutting-edge tech in the creation of the show, including a giant robotic dragon and pyrotechnics triggered by high-powered lasers (!).

It'd be great to apply the skills and innovation of the IMD students to some theatrical production design. These interactions could range from dynamic modification of the space to actually affecting the narrative. User-controlled lasers, anyone?
