FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The movie production of "Fireflies in the Garden" starring Julia Roberts, Carrie-Anne Moss, Willem Dafoe, Hayden Panettiere, and Shannon Lucio selects Firefly Magic® Firefly Lights as their firefly special effects supplier.

Filmed primarily in Austin, Texas, the need to produce cost effective firefly effects were an important part of the shooting. Rather than employ costly computer graphics to create the firefly special effects, the Firefly Magic Firefly Lights were used against a 'blue screen' and subsequently superimposed onto the background.

Stephen Taylor, Lighting Effects Designer for the Sigma Two Group LLC, said, "While CG (computer graphics) creates a very nice effect, it is generally more expensive to implement. When a production is limited in the amount they can spend for special effects, more creative solutions are often considered. In this case, we were pleased that we could support the production by custom designing units that produced higher output firefly flashing which allowed for adjustment during the editing process."

Watch for the release of Fireflies in the Garden in 2008
