SGM LB-100s provide flexible backdrop
- Details
Combining Denmark’s top band within electro rock with one of the most influential lighting designers in the country was a perfect match for spoiling festival audiences with a creative and first-class show. Recently, at Denmark’s second biggest festival Smukfest 2017, Johnny and Carpark North performed in front of 25,000 music fans.
“I wanted to create a large background behind our video system, adding an extra dimension. At first, I worked with traditional video screens but due to the rapid 45-minute stage changeovers at festivals, it was impossible to realize considering the size of the production,” Johnny explained. He added that he had first discovered the SGM LB-100 as a guest at a corporate event and immediately noted to himself that one day he would have to try to build a big video screen out of them.
“In addition to how quickly the “SGM curtain” can be rigged, I have fallen in love with the lo-res output, which appears a little like 8 bits compared to hi-res video screens. The result is a contrasted expression and it fits the music and our creative vision perfectly,” he affirmed.
