Another Creators Project video, this time from Germany: The installation consists of 21 high-powered projectors inside a really, really big gas tank, projection-mapped onto the surface. They also play sound in the space, which due to the acoustics and sheer size of the room, echos for about 20 seconds. This video, sadly, doesn’t go into how the projection-mapping was accomplished on that scale, but it’s still a very interesting use of that technology.
The Chauvet Nexus 4×4. Chauvet is a company that started their foray into professional lighting relatively recently, and they’ve certainly got some creative minds working at the company. Nexus 4×4 panel The Nexus 4×4 is basically a pixel-mapping wash light in a square format, which lends itself well to large-format LED displays. I saw a few at PLASA Nashville and was impressed with the quality of the LED source mixing before output, as well as the output itself, which was higher than I would have expected. Although pixel-mapping fixture are the trick de jour in the lighting industry today, it’s still an extremely impressive effect when well-executed. Forty of these on Alan would make my day.
