CreativityTranscript
00:00Las Vegas, the city of neon, the city where anything is possible.
00:06But this, this is looking back at us.
00:10Reality just got an upgrade, and it's happening right here.
00:14Ready to see how?
00:16Let's go back to the beginning and find the truth.
00:202018.
00:22Before the lights and global fame, there was just endless desert dust.
00:27The first lines in the sand are finally drawn.
00:31Every single inch matters for a build this big.
00:34A perfect sphere with no pillars and no supports.
00:38This is just pure, beautiful math coming to life.
00:42The heavy hitters are here.
00:44Time to break ground and rewrite the history of this entire desert.
00:51Step one.
00:52We have to go down deep before we can ever go up.
00:55We hit the hard stuff.
00:57The desert doesn't want to move, and it's fighting back against every machine we have.
01:03Persistence is key.
01:05We chip away slowly until the desert rock finally gives in to us.
01:10110,000 cubic yards of earth removed.
01:13That's a massive amount of desert to move just for a foundation.
01:16It's quiet down here, far below the neon lights and the noise.
01:20This is the base of our future.
01:24Thrilling for stability.
01:26We need deep roots to anchor this giant to the earth.
01:29The skeleton starts deep in the ground.
01:32It's a massive combination of heavy steel and human sweat.
01:36600 piles in total.
01:38We are anchoring this massive giant to the very crust of the planet.
01:43Pressure, force, building the feet of a giant with every single pore.
01:50This is the floor of the basement.
01:52The heaviest and most massive concrete slab in all of Las Vegas.
01:58The foundation is finally set.
02:02And now, the rest of the world starts to watch us.
02:05Level 0
02:08This is the deep underground heart that will keep the entire steer beating.
02:13The veins and arteries are being laid.
02:16Power, water, data.
02:18Everything is finally coming together.
02:21You can't lift a world without a solid place to stand.
02:25This foundation must be absolutely perfect for what's coming.
02:30The monster is arriving.
02:33120 trucks of steel are finally rolling in today.
02:38Meet the CC 8800.
02:40The world's fourth largest crane is officially taking shape now.
02:45Reaching for the sky.
02:47It took weeks to build this tool.
02:50And now it dominates everything around it.
02:53Testing the limits.
02:543.5 million pounds of capacity is the only way to ensure total safety.
03:02This track is taller than me.
03:05It's a titan.
03:06Built to move mountains of steel.
03:0913,000 tons of steel.
03:11Every piece numbered.
03:13It's the ultimate game of high-stakes logistics for this giant.
03:17Moment of truth.
03:18The first piece of the puzzle is finally rising into place today.
03:23Aligning the 30-ton star-shaped node is critical.
03:26The team uses spud wrenches to lever the bolt holes into position.
03:30Precision is everything here.
03:32One inch off.
03:33And absolutely nothing else will fit correctly.
03:36The circle begins.
03:38Steel doesn't like to bend.
03:40But we are making it happen today.
03:43Night and day.
03:44The sparks never stop flying.
03:47We are working around the clock to build the future.
03:50The view is changing.
03:52We are finally above ground and seeing the whole world.
03:56This is the backbone of the interior.
03:59The heavy lifting is just getting started today.
04:03March 2020.
04:04The world went quiet.
04:07But we didn't stop building for a single second.
04:10New rules.
04:12Same goal.
04:13Keep building.
04:13Even with the world on pause, the steel still needs to rise.
04:20Back to work again.
04:22The timeline is tight, but we are finally moving at full speed now.
04:28Gaining height.
04:29The shape is finally coming together as we reach toward the sky.
04:33It's a coliseum of steel.
04:36You can truly feel the massive scale of the bowl now.
04:40The hardest part is coming.
04:42The crown that holds the whole roof together.
04:47The wind is the enum.
04:49One single gust can ruin everything we've built.
04:53Preparation is 90% of the work.
04:56The actual lift is only a small part.
04:59Here we go.
05:01This is the heaviest and most critical lift in Nevada history.
05:06Don't blink.
05:07That's 170 tons of steel floating in the Vegas wind right now.
05:13Touchdown.
05:14The heart of the roof is finally in place where it belongs.
05:19The first bridge is crossing the gap.
05:21We're finally connecting the outer wall to the center crown today.
05:25It's the best view in the whole city, as long as you aren't afraid of these extreme heights.
05:31Balance is everything on this scale.
05:33You can't load one side too fast, or it all shifts.
05:39115 degrees.
05:40The steel is expanding today.
05:42It's physically growing right before our eyes.
05:46We can't force the physics.
05:48We have to wait for the desert to cool down tonight.
05:51The vampire shift is here.
05:54Engineering happens when the world sleeps.
05:56The last piece of the puzzle is in.
05:59We've finally closed the circle on this giant.
06:03Taking away the training wheels now.
06:06The desert giant finally stands alone on its own strength.
06:10Closing it up.
06:10We are making the structure weather tight before the next phase begins.
06:16It feels like walking on a metal planet.
06:19The horizon just disappears under my feet.
06:22This isn't just a lid.
06:24It's a fortress.
06:25We're laying the heavy reinforcement mat right now.
06:28Time to pour.
06:3010,000 tons of liquid stone are arriving at the site today.
06:35We are defying gravity.
06:37We're pumping concrete 360 feet straight up today.
06:41No turning back now.
06:43Once we start, we can't stop this flow.
06:48How do you pave a sphere?
06:50You use a specialized dry mix.
06:53Non-stop.
06:5524 hours.
06:56The concrete must be one continuous piece.
06:5910 inches of concrete.
07:03Silent.
07:04Strong.
07:05And incredibly heavy.
07:08The shell is complete.
07:10The $2 billion desert egg is finally hatched.
07:13Sealing the environment.
07:15We finally control the air inside now.
07:19$2.1 billion.
07:22This is the most expensive venue ever built.
07:26It's dark.
07:27It's incredibly vast.
07:29It feels like standing inside a massive, hollowed-out stone cathedral.
07:34The next layer has begun.
07:36We have to build an entire building inside of this building.
07:40This is the inner surface.
07:42We're building the massive silver home for the 16K display.
07:46Precision again.
07:48This inner frame must be perfectly smooth or the entire image will break.
07:54Killing the echo.
07:55A sphere is a total acoustic nightmare so we're padding every single inch.
08:0117,500 seats.
08:04And every single one has a perfect view of the screen.
08:09Quiring for the sense of touch.
08:11These floors will vibrate with every single show.
08:15Cooling 20,000 people in the desert sun.
08:18It takes a massive amount of air.
08:20Hidden sound.
08:21You'll never see a speaker.
08:23But there are over 160,000 ways to hear it.
08:27This is the beam-forming technology.
08:29Audio lasers arriving all the way from Germany.
08:34Straight at you.
08:35No matter where you're sitting in this bowl.
08:37This is the brain.
08:39It's processing petabytes of data every single second to keep the sphere alive.
08:4528 megawatts.
08:46That's enough juice to power a small city.
08:49All focused into one single point.
08:52One single pixel in a sea of millions.
08:55And just like that, it works.
08:59Total darkness is required for this magic.
09:03Maintenance in the clouds.
09:05This is a high-wire job for the world's bravest technicians.
09:09The house is built.
09:10Now, let's go outside and give this giant its eye.
09:15The shell is strong, but it is blind.
09:18Time to give it a skin.
09:20This is the exosphere frame.
09:22A second skeleton built specifically for the lights.
09:26Six inches of breathing room.
09:28Air must flow behind the LEDs, or the whole system overheats.
09:32It looks like a giant steel spiderweb.
09:36Blocked out.
09:36We want zero reflection behind the pixels for total visual immersion.
09:41The stars have finally arrived on site.
09:441.2 million of them.
09:47Just waiting to be lit.
09:4848 LEDs per puck.
09:50And this thing is built to be virtually indestructible.
09:54Vegas doesn't play nice.
09:56These pucks have to survive 120 degrees and blinding dust storms every single year.
10:01Davey chained.
10:03It's a fail-safe system.
10:05If one of these goes dark, the other million must stay lit.
10:09Meet the climbers.
10:10They aren't just electricians.
10:12They're world-class mountaineers building a digital star.
10:16Click.
10:17Lock.
10:18Repeat.
10:19Local brains.
10:20These tiny boxes tell every single puck exactly what color it needs to be.
10:25Lightspeed data.
10:27When this thing finally turns on,
10:30the entire Vegas power grid is going to feel it.
10:35From 10 feet away, it's just a grid.
10:37From 100 feet, it becomes a photograph.
10:41But one loose wire can create a shadow on a screen this big.
10:46Discipline is everything out here.
10:49Outside is for the city of Las Vegas.
10:52But inside, this is for the soul.
10:55No gaps allowed here.
10:57This is a seamless 160,000-square-foot canvas.
11:02These panels are fragile, incredibly expensive, and they are the future of film.
11:09If you can see the line, the entire illusion is ruined.
11:13It has to be perfect.
11:14Look closely.
11:15The sound from those 167,000 speakers passes right through the pixels.
11:21Perfection is the only option here.
11:24Every single pixel must answer the call.
11:28It's 360 degrees of pure possibility.
11:32Now, what on earth do we show on a screen this big?
11:36The problem.
11:38Hollywood wasn't ready for a screen this big.
11:42To fill a sphere, we couldn't just use a wider lens.
11:45We had to build a whole new kind of camera.
11:49Meet Big Sky, a single-sensor camera system that sees more detail than the human eye can even process.
11:57It's the size of a tablet.
11:59This single sensor captures 40 times more detail than the highest-end 4K cameras on the market.
12:05One lens to rule them all.
12:08If there's a single scratch on this glass, 20,000 people will see it on the screen.
12:13Testing the rig.
12:14Dust, heat, and 8,000 pixels of pure pressure.
12:18We have to know it can survive the real world.
12:21A single minute of footage from Big Sky is enough to fill a personal computer.
12:26We're talking about petabytes of raw data.
12:29Taking flight.
12:30This is how we capture the true scale of earth to bring it back to the desert.
12:35We aren't just filming a movie.
12:38We are capturing a memory for 20,000 people to live inside.
12:42The software had to be written from scratch.
12:45No shortcut exists for stitching 8,000 pixels into a perfect sphere.
12:51It's crystal clear.
12:53Too clear.
12:54You can see a bird a mile away as if it's right in front of you.
12:58My brain thinks I can walk right into that wall.
13:01The building has completely disappeared.
13:04The ground is literally shaking.
13:06And there isn't even an engine in here.
13:09It's all pure sound.
13:11Wind, scent, and temperature.
13:14We're turning this stone shell into a four-dimensional masterpiece.
13:19Now for the biggest test of all.
13:22Turning on the exosphere for the entire city to see.
13:29Checking for glitches.
13:31We have 1.2 million individual points of failure to monitor tonight.
13:37Tomorrow, the entire world sees what $2.3 billion actually looks like.
13:44The moment of truth.
13:46Five years of work, billions of dollars, all coming down to one single switch.
13:52Independence Day.
13:53The entire city is holding its breath.
13:56Waiting for this dark giant to finally wake up.
14:00The grid takes the hit.
14:01We are live.
14:03It's speaking.
14:05The first words of a digital giant.
14:13The internet exploded in less than an hour.
14:17The most beautiful traffic hazard in history.
14:24The detail is insane.
14:26You can see every crater and ridge from miles away.
14:30It's official.
14:31The Vegas skyline will never be the same.
14:34We didn't just build a screen.
14:36We brought the world to the desert.
14:38Now for the real challenge.
14:40The first live performance.
14:43We've built the eye.
14:44Now we have to give it a voice.
14:47Even the world's biggest artists are intimidated by this room.
14:51You don't just play the sphere.
14:53You try to survive it.
14:54September 29th.
14:56The doors finally open.
14:58This is what five years of secret sounds like when they're finally let out.
15:02That first look, it's like falling into another dimension.
15:06You can see the moment their brains stop processing building and start processing universe.
15:11You don't just hear the drums in here.
15:13You are the drums.
15:15The building is literally playing my ribcage like an instrument.
15:18Hi Vegas.
15:19Thanks for the view.
15:21You finally built something as big as your dreams.
15:24Hit subscribe.
15:25The next jump is going to be even bigger.
15:28Thanks for the view.
15:28Thanks for the view.
15:28Thanks for the view.
15:28Thanks for the view.
15:28Thanks for the view.
15:28Thanks for the view.
