On President's Day, we're gonna light-up Paramount Miami World Center with the largest digital display of the stars and stripes. We're gonna have an animation of President Lincoln and Washington. This is a great way for us to show patriotism here in Miami of the 46 presidents of the United States.

#2: (03:49 -04:12)
When we created Paramount Miami Worldcenter, we wanted to do this incredible lighting display. I mean, all great cities around the world, uh, have iconic buildings; uh, in New York, you have the Empire State Building that lights up. And so, Paramount's right in the center of downtown Miami. We wanted to create an energy within the city. Whether you're coming from air, land or sea, you see this building, uh, and, and it really adds magic to The Magic City.

#3: (04:14 – 04:25)
So, if you're coming from the airport or you're driving down the highway or you're coming-in on a cruise ship: you're coming-in on a train; from land, air, or sea; when you see the Paramount Miami Worldcenter, you know you've arrived to Miami.

#4: (04:27– 04:42)
When we were designing Paramount, and the lighting system, we realized we could do a multitude of variations of lighting; we could do animations; designs on the building; we could add messaging; and that's where we thought we could…we could really become a beacon for the City of Miami.

The Paramount Miami Worldcenter features the world's most technologically advanced Color Kinetics lighting system, and it features 13,400 light emitting diodes, and they're embedded in these 10,000 panes of high impact glass. And, uh, you know, everyone always says, "Oh, wow, how much is the electric bill?" Because at night, it just shines over the whole city, it's super bright, everyone can see it for miles. And to be honest with you, it's only about 34 dollars a night.
