The "eagle" was designed by Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton-Jones who worked closely with Rob Fowler of Element Labs London office to realise their concept. It consisted of 281 1m HD Versa TUBES and 120 half metre long HD Versa TUBES. The Versa TUBE HD brings an eye-catching LED lighting module that offers enormous flexibility and creativity to a designer's toolbox. By using video signal for control, the Versa TUBE HD delivers countless looks from vibrant patterns to organic flows. A special diffusing lens ensures smooth light output and durability. There's no limit to what can be displayed.
Says Nils Thorjussen of Element Labs: "It is always gratifying to see designers push the creative boundaries with our products. The 'eagle' design the guys produced was awesome, and it shows off the creative capabilities of the product so well."
The Versa TUBES used at the show were supplied by rental company VER. The lighting/video company that took care of the production was HFM Lighting (Project manager - Simon Husband). Under the expert guidance of crew chief Ian Henderson, HFM Lighting supplied the programming and took care of individually mapping a structure that contained not a single parallel line. The content shown on the 'eagle' was developed by Glassworks Film House.
