B.C. man behind 80s laser light craze shows no sign of slowing down – BC [Video]

There have been more than a few advancements in technology to enhance a show that Craig F. McCaw has been producing for well over four decades.

“I’m 80 now, it’s time for my nap. But apparently not,” McCaw told This is BC.

He’s the man behind the laser light craze during the 1980s at the H.R. MacMillan Planetarium.

“Every show would sell out. I think we sold out Dark Side of the Moon for an entire year,” said McCaw. “Radiohead to Pink Floyd to Pink.”

The venue may be smaller at their current home at BCIT, but alongside his son, Roundhouse Productions is still firing up the fog machine a few nights every month.

“I feel the laser shows in Vancouver are kind of a standard. They’ve been around for so long,” said Orion McCaw.

Craig’s travelled all over capturing images, while getting creative over the years as new cameras came out.
