Hippotizer Brands Vanity Fair Party at Tribeca Film Festival
Spring in New York and Tribeca Film celebrates emerging and returning filmmakers. The Vanity Fair party was held on April 21 at the historic State Supreme Court building in downtown Manhattan. At the top of the portico steps, guests were treated to a 4 x 41 ft. Barco LED wall programmed to resemble a marquee. The LED wall was divided into two sections, forming a portico into the building's rotunda.
Media content for the LED wall utilized a combination of graphics promoting Tribeca Film, Deluxe, and Panavision. Logos for the three brands were animated into a sequence that played all evening. "The Hippotizer allowed us to sequence and dissolve the graphics using a number of layers," explains lighting designer Adam Bassett. "We also utilized the Hippotizer's animation and effect features to create interesting and dynamic transitions between the various base content."
Controlling the giant LED marquee was a Hippotizer Stage V3 media server. Lead programmer for the Vanity Fair party was Michael Lee. "The Hippotizer is brilliant," says Michael. "Simple, elegant, and interfacing was never easier. We used a grandMA console and it was like programming a moving light, but for a media server!" New York's Bestek Lighting and Staging provided equipment for the entire festival with installation by Main Light Industries of Delaware.
The Hippotizer media server is recognized as the leading solution for realtime video effects, manipulation and playback. Pominent productions worldwide, in a wide array of disciplines - Concerts, Theatre, Opera, Television, Worship, Corporate and more - are now specifying the Hippotizer, making it "the industry's favorite media server."
Hippotizer is manufactured by Green Hippo and distributed by TMB. For more information about Hippotizer, visit the TMB Hippotizer web page at www.tmb.com/products/hippotizer.
