Congratulations to Bill and Carol Cotter from Granada Hills, CA and
Stacia Martin from Brea, CA for winning the 2014 Design Contest with their entry
titled "Movie Magic".
This is their third time winning the Design Contest (previous floats
were 2005's "Dinner's on...FIRE!" and 2008's "Oktoberfest").
Their design will represent Burbank in the 125th Rose Parade themed
"Dreams Come True".
|
| The Design Committee had a brainstorming session on
March 2, 2013 and then started regular meetings shortly after that.
Based on the early meetings feedback and discussion, this first line
drawing was created. |
 |
 |
Not shown on the line drawing is what does the back of the float
look like. So this special drawing was created to start the
discussion on how the back of the float should look. |
| After much discussions, it was decided to combine the
horse and makeup desk. |
 |
 |
As the Design Committee continues to fine-tune the drawing you can
start to see several changes to the design, but still keeping with the
original theme. |
| A revised line drawing was release on April 16, 2013
along with additional detail possibilities drawings. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Now the Decorations Committee has started meeting on going over the
various colors, materials and textures for the new float design.
Along the way draft versions the color rendering are being created to
match what the Decorations Committee is working on. This version
was released on May 8, 2013. |
| Tweaks and changes continue in this May 10, 2013
version. |
 |
 |
Getting closer in this May 12, 2013 version. |
| Here is a rough look at the "off-camera" side of the
float, with this May 13, 2013 drawing. |
 |
 |
It takes many revisions to get all the colors and details just
right. This the May 15, 2013 version. |
| At the May 16, 2013 General Meeting, the members
reviewed over 25 float title suggestions and an overwhelming
majority picked the new title "Lights...Camera...Action!" as the new
float title. |
| On May 17, 2013 a rough top view sketch was released
showing possible placement and orientation of major float characters and
objects. |
 |
 |
On May 18, 2013 an "off-camera" view was updated and released. |
| Also on May 18, 2013 an updated "rear" view of the float
drawing was released showing possible items and placement. |
 |
 |
And finally on May 18, 2013 and updated color rendering was
released. This is not the final rendering, but does show the new
float title. |
| On June 8, 2013 a new color rendering was released . |
 |
|
 |
|
On June 23, 2013 the final color rendering was
released. Now on to various scale and detail drawings... |
