The Tourist Commission planned to create a night time spectacular that would span the length and breadth of Hong Kong's spectacular harbour and become the focal point for visiting tourists to view Victoria Harbour's night time vista.

The Sars outbreak accelerated the project with a target for the show to be open prior to Chinese New Year 2004. Phase 1 of the show was to include a mix of 18 private and government sector buildings.

Ptarmigan was appointed to act as technical project managers for the implementation of the five participating government buildings. Appointed as a subcontractor to Wing Hing, Ptarmigan oversaw the system design, installation and commissioning of City Hall, the People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Headquarters, Queensway Government Offices, the Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Working closely with show designers Laservision, lead lighting designer John Rayment and Melbourne based lighting supplier Coemar Desisti, this project was completed in an amazingly aggressive three months.

In 2005 the Tourist Commission decided to expand the show in 2 phases. The Interim Show was to be launched in May with the introduction of additional buildings on Hong Kong Island and then the Final Show, to be launched in Dec, was to introduce Kowloon side and bring the total number of buildings to 31.

Ptarmigan was appointed by Laservision to take a lead technical and project management role. The project team also included Laservision's project manager Alan Chambers, lighting designer John Williams, music composers and producer Matthew Ma & Chris Johns.

In November the show was recognised by Guinness World Record's as the largest permanent light and sound show. This record was broken in December with the launch of the final show.
