USA - London-based automation specialist Stage Technologies will collect a Staging and Projection Product of the year EDDY award from Entertainment Design magazine, when the awards are presented in New York in June. Judges singled out the company's latest software innovation - Visual Creator commenting that it is "remarkably intuitive and greatly expands the notion of what can be moved where on stage."

Visual Creator is an advancement of the award winning Pathway technology that was used to create the spectacular flying effects in the The Witches of Eastwick, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Millennium Dome. The latest in software design architecture, this motion design tool allows two- and three-dimensional effects to be drawn as imagined. Combined with position maps and profiles this new software makes the previously complex task of calculating cues a thing of the past. This software can be used in conjunction with any of Stage Technologies' standard automation systems.

Founded 10 years ago when automation was largely done on a case-by-case basis, the company's mission has been to make automation standardized and accessible to all. Visual creator certainly encompasses all these principles and has already received an award for product excellence from PLASA. Visual Creator now joins Stage Technologies' other award winning products including the Acrobat & Nomad consoles and the Big Tow winch, all of which are now established products being used in theatres around the globe.
