Seattle’s famous Space Needle structure held a virtual New Year’s Eve event, and it has sparked some spirited responses from social media users. This year the Space Needle and Seattle Center opted to forgo a real live fireworks show due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, Seattle-based even company Modern Enterprises — and it’s CEO/owner Terry Morgan — helped create a unique virtual production that utilized special graphics to give the illusion that captivating lights and visuals surrounded the Space Needle.
According to Geek Wire, the production was created with digital mapping technology. However, there was also a bit of a twist, as layers of images visuals were placed over a real video of the Needle, captured in multiple camera angles ahead of time. The spectacular event delivered beautiful sights, such as the Space Needle appearing to look like a giant butterfly and a flower. The non-traditional New Year’s Eve event has had many talking on social media. Scroll down to see what they are saying.

I will say, I am proud of the Space Needle for fulfilling its true purpose as some sort of alien beacon. Unfortunately it also got T-mobile slimed pic.twitter.com/6h3FRdvBme

Happy new year everyone! Please check out the whole space needle show if you get a chance, I can’t decide if it’s a better goodbye to 2020 or hello to 2021. It’s certainly something, though! 😂🥳 pic.twitter.com/AVzziAa51X
