12 Stars

Today, I went on a shoot to the Columbus Circle at Time Warner Center. Apparently, The Holiday under the Stars and Snow program was the main target. At 6:00 P.M. at the entrance of the Time Warner Center, 12 stars hang in the 85 foot high Great Room illuminated by the largest specially crafted display of illuminated co.or mixing in the world started to dance along with various kind of Christmas songs. This exhibition will lasted until midnight, however, it was only 15 minutes when "Magic Snow" fell on the ground.

What most of the people did not notice was that each star was choreographed to change its color with original interpretations of holiday music derived from a 12 person orchestra.

Anyone who used to play any kind of instruments would know that there are many tones and sounds that different instruments make. Indeed, this is the place for them. I used to play piano for over ten years, and I was lucky enough to listen most of the different sounds that various intruments were making.

The timing of me hearing a sound and looking at stars changing was perfect and nothing but magnificent. In addition, the mall doors made of glasses reflected all of the lights and colors of stars, and they merged into the outside scenery; a lightened up fountain, tall monument, cars on a long road. For a second, I was in an illusion that I was in Paris that I saw in the movie. It was breathtaking.

Sometimes, camera lenses cannot show what exactly cameramen and reporters are looking. I just wished so deeply that viewers of this package could feel uplifted and joyful as we got when they watched our show that will be aired tomorrow.

P.S.

I realized that when I see a beautiful thing, I strongly wnat to share wit the feeling with someone that is important in my life. When I was watching 12 stars, all I thought was how satisfied I would be if I were able to share this once-a-year-event with my beloved family.
