For Fox's premiere of its new show Cosmos, the network's creative services team produced an event in a transformed parking lot in Los Angeles's Griffith Park. In a Classic tent set as a screening room for the show's first episode, Kinetic Lighting created a cosmos-like look with full LED star draping. A Q&A session with the big-name folks behind the show, including Neil deGrasse Tyson and Seth MacFarlane, followed the screening.
