The Hunger Games Exhibition

Presenter: Liz Swaffield, Electrosonic

This was a traveling exhibit that involved a wide variety of equipment across the AV and network spectrum, but had to be modular and flexible enough to work in multiple spaces with little help from the original team after install. This system brought together projection, audio, interactive, lighting, and scenic elements to create an immersive experience. A Medialon Showmaster LE was used as the control backbone.
Volcania - Volcans Sacrés

"Introduction: Let yourself be carried away on a lava flow into a special vehicle and discover the legends that tell of the special bond between man and volcano. On the basis of various reconstructions combined with unique special effects, animated characters , original soundtracks and colorful stories , you will discover the legends of this special relationship based on fear and attraction."
Commissioned by Jora Entertainment, Nightlife Productions successfully installed all audio, video, lighting , show control and special effects for this new attraction at Vulcania, Clermont -Ferrand (FR) The attraction features special ' trackless ' vehicles also called Multi Movers. These vehicles hold to 6 persons which will ride through several scenes in the attraction. The vehicle body can rotate independently of the chassis and the vehicle can follow complex movements. This is an Alcorn McBride show control project.

This project contained the following elements: music, LED lighting, pier water jets, floating fountains, fire projectors, RGB lasers, water screen and video projection. KrohTech was responsible for all of the show programming with the exception of Laser programming that was provided by Lasertainment. KrohTech was also responsible for the design and operation of all show control systems.
At the end of the session, around 8pm we will start drinking, um, I mean meet to further geekout. Late night mini-golf is not out of the question either.
Special thanks to Kevin Ruud from Design Horizons and Bob Athey from ATI for the connection with Gameworks!
