Space age technology lands in Adelaide
- Details
Adelaide’s Ding Productions & Slingsby Theatre were engaged to create a bespoke opening performance. Ding’s creative producer Jo Casson worked with Novatech’s Leko Novakovic to design an interactive setting where the live performers on stage would perform in a holographic environment in a performance, The Journey.
Novatech debuted their new 4K resolution, 32,000 ANSI Laser Projectors that created an illusion of space on stage. The company also worked with Richard Saunders from Ikonix to take advantage of the latest generation of holographic technology, Hologauze.
Managing director of Novatech, Leko Novakovic, said: “We were thrilled to use the latest generations of video projection and holographic technology for an event like the International Astronautical Congress. It was important to provide the very best to the audience that came from the space industry around the world and to showcase what Adelaide can offer and produce.”
Leko added: “For the vision component, content was run from our d3 4x4 Pro server to both a main & backup Barco UDX-4K projector as well feeding a Di Colour 9m x 5m 4.8mm pitch LED screen.
“On the lighting side, we used our brand new Clay Paky Scenius Unicos, ETC Source 4 Lustre Profiles, Clay Paky Sharpys and a couple of 6w RGB full colour lasers all driven from a MA Lighting Grand MA 2 and NPU.”
Jo Casson added: “Having worked with Leko & team on numerous projects, it was the natural choice to engage Novatech in our creative process for the IAC opening. The ease and cost of the new holographic technology now puts in within reach of even more events. The stunning animation by Brad Pickford and the sensational performances by all the artists left the 4000+ delegates in awe.”
