trance energy

...One should create an environment representing the episodes in music.. during a break, make subtle movements with a colorful lasersky.. and when the beat kicks back in, make the beams rock like a well practiced dancer.

Exactly !!
Doing so adds another dimension to the experience rather than a coherent form of ambient lighting.

What are you controlling the parcans with mind me asking?

Jeroen is an employee of visualDMX.

So Canvix is my best guess.

Morning!

Just woke up after a 9-hour sleep.. really needed that i guess
What a party last night.. absolutely amazing! Too bad a friend of mine was a bit ill.. so we had to leave somewhat earlier than planned..

I visited JeroenVDV at the High Contrast stage were he was operating a nice setup of 2000 RGB-led par cans! Each individually controlled using DMX.

Here a movie I found showing the lasershow at the main stage (not mine though.. left my camera in the lockers.. )

Just greens as you can see.. but nevertheless amazing to watch! 13 projecters! (if i counted them correctly..)

now for some breakfast..

Nice videos and good work Jereon.

Greens were awesome although for the 1st time the lasers there have worried me. I'm not seeing any dead pixels but the total white out of the sensor on the camera from direct hits was quite worrying especially from near the back of the room.

I was wondering if that may have been the case.. Was looking at that software a while ago - looks pretty cool..

- 2 Canvix systems (one for the 8 x (9x8) matrices above the floor, one for the 64x16 matrix behind the DJ)
- Both systems with R/G/B/grandmaster control via operators' Hog3, VisualTouch for easy pattern-triggering per layer and mask selection
- Tascam US-2400 faderboard for all layer/speed/etc. control
- 23 Art-net universes, 3 Luminex nodes


At the Mainstage were 13 laserprojectors - supplied by Laser Image. Most of them (if not all) were 10W but not running at full power.

hiya all.
i loved the event in utrecht it was stunning. also Jeroen i asked for you at the high contrast stage but no one seemed to know who u were. they didnt understand me i dont think.

iv got a large concern of the power of the lasers used on the main stage.

i wondered into the main stage stunned by the laser show being put on. i decided to get a video but was at the side and didnt look great so i decided to move to the centre of the arena to get the best shot i could.

it was the start of a song and all lightiong cut off. then the lasers came on looking stunning. i was very excited at what they were looking like. best show i have ever seen. everyone around me was also very excited at what they were seeing.
this was untill my camera did something very strange
ill let the video explain futher.

once the video finished processing you should be able to find it here

if someone with knowledge of why this has happened please let me know. i think its the lasers as the only other time i have seen this was at a rave in russia which cause people to feel ill from the lasers. i understand it was a copper vapor laser at this but as i say i have only seen this happen in this situation before.

to be honest im really unhappy this happened as it shouldnt have done and i want to find out who i should complain to. if its the camera manufacturer or if its laser image (the laser company) or if its id&t (the event organiser)

im extremly suprised that a comapny like laser image would let this happen but if they have then it isnt right and something should be done.
i agree with White-Light totally

iv added some pictures of the camera after it had been broken

cheers ollie
