Light Shows Are a Way to Tell Stories with Light
A light show is not just about turning on lights; it uses shapes, colors, and atmosphere to tell a complete story. Every set of lanterns is not just a “shape,” but a character, scene, and plot in the story. Let’s explore some popular themed lanterns and their stories to see how light shows tell stories with light.
Halloween Theme: The Haunted Forest Escape
Lantern Elements:
Jack-o’-lantern arrays, flying witch lanterns, glowing tombstones and skulls, sound-effect bats, and ghostly houses hiding in the corners.
Story:
As night falls, the protagonist accidentally enters a cursed pumpkin forest and must escape along a glowing path. Along the way, whispers of witches, flying bats, and rising skeletons block the way. Finding the “Spirit Lantern” is the only way out of the forest.
Christmas Theme: Searching for Santa’s Reindeer
Lantern Elements:
Giant snowflake trees, reindeer lantern groups, stacks of gifts and dancing elves, lighted snowy cottages, and starry archways.
