Imagineers Chuck Davis (technical director) and Jason Badger (fountain designer) share about the process of creating the magic that is seen in World of Color – Celebrate!.  This has been a process that has been worked on for two years with new effects and new storytelling techniques. This includes a ‘water whip’ fountain, that was included as a part of this interview.  They also talk about the creative process behind creating the storyline for World of Color – Celebrate!.  Rather than read about what was said, hear about this process from the men who made it happen here:
