“no way to set a termination point, where it would stop a set height”

Fibre optics wouldn’t have worked. The colour would transmit the entire length of the strand and there would be no way to set a termination point where it the would stop a set height from the top and botton of each strand.
Also you wouldn’t see much. The whole idea of fibre optics is it carries light from one end to the other through internal reflection.
If the FO strand is working properly then very little light is spilled from the sides.

It would be even more clever if he used fiber optics and interfaced each stand with an RGB LED.

This reminds me a lot of the display inside the ‘rellicle’ blimp thing in the Aeon Flux movie.

Yeah, the best part of the first four minutes was the Miles Davis.

Just let the video buffer to 4:30 and start watching then. The first four minutes are pretty boring.
