Compulite Vector Celebrates in Switzerland
Swisspor, a leading manufacturer of insulation and sealing technologies for the building and construction industry, celebrated the inauguration of its new building recently. The launch included two gala events at the headquarters of Swisspor in Steinhausen, near Lucerne, Switzerland. The events were attended by around 1000 guests and included a dinner and a show by the popular Pepe Lienhard Orchestra.
Matthias Kern of Swiss-based Kernfusion Design GmbH based in Switzerland was responsible for the lighting and media design, operation and programming. He used a Compulite Vector Blue and Vector motorized playback wing for the event.
At the back and to the sides of the stage were three scenic elements constructed from different Styrofoam shapes, highly suitable for lighting and projections. Kern used two Robe DigitalSpots 7000DTs positioned each side of the stage to throw projections onto the two 15 metre Styrofoam wings flanking the stage. These elements resembled giant asymmetric kaleidoscopic patterns, akin to cell structures.
He used two Compulite ePorts to connect (via Artnet) to the four Robe DT 7000s and he used the Vector desk to upload images to the Robe DigitalSpots The show was run on separate cue lists. One cue list was for the effects and white light. The Cue List on the motorized Playback wing was used for the band so as to have faster access to effects, moves, colour changes and more.
He matched the Digital spot projections with the Styrofoam walls using some of the Robe Digital fixture's projected images features. This produced a compelling dynamic 3D effect.
