The team's history with the WWRY production team goes back a long time as Guy Horrigan supplied the LED screens for WWRY's original show in London's Dominion Theatre, tours in Australia, Japan, and the Cologne, Zurich and the US residencies, the later being at Las Vegas' Paris Casino.
Bob Kronman was head of LED with the show at the Dominion Theatre and later installed the LED screens in Melbourne, Australia for the tour's first residency and in Zurich for its successful run there.
In this latest production, four digiLED Tile screens create a dramatic backdrop of video, animation and spectacular lighting effects. Each Ti10S 10mm SMD pixel pitch screen measures 2.4m wide x 2.7m high configured from 3 x 3 'fast-rig' digiLED Frames each measuring 800mm (w) x 900mm (h).
Key to the production team's choice of video screens was weight. The Allianz Theatre's stage requirements meant that the screens needed to be lightweight and a target of 300kgs was set. The digiLED Tile proved to be the best option.
"We are delighted to be involved with WWRY once more. A year ago, if we had been asked to send this amount of equipment out with the weight constraints specified it would have been a very short conversation. But with the breakthroughs realised by our design engineers we are making life on stage easier for everyone, and hopefully we can look forward to helping many more tours in the future," says Guy Horrigan, sales director.
"The screens look fantastic and we're amazed how lightweight they are, we were working to strict weight regulations and the digiLED products were the only ones suitable for the job. It was a pleasure to be working with the displayLED team again," says Ted Irwin, We Will Rock You.
