G-LEC's sales director Christoph Müssener explained: "Florian approached us with a rather unusual request. He was looking for a way to make the LED screens flexible in order to curve and bend them over several levels of the stage. While doing this it was also vital that the LED solution guaranteed transparency too."
G-LEC realized that the way to create a system which would work to Wieder's designs was to devise a frameless installation, so provided 1080 ClassicTubes, all mounted individually, to create a series of curves and waves across the set. Müssener continued: "Turning Florian's ideas into a reality would have been impossible with a traditional LED screen or wall since they would never work around curves. By taking the tubes off the ClassicFrame and hanging them, it's possible to create as many curves as the designer requires. The result was a screen which swung freely in the studio."
Controlled by the G-LEC server, a range of spectacular images was projected, reportedly drawing more admiration from the crowds than the singing skills of the performers on stage! Lars Wolf, G-LEC Europe's managing director, said: "We were working to a really tight deadline to get this job completed - just one week! It certainly provided us with a few challenges both in a technical and a logistical sense, but it has served to prove just how versatile and flexible G-LEC's solutions really are. Users really can be as creative as they want."
G-LEC is represented in the UK by Fourth Phase, London.
