Full commitment pays of
The days before the big event Bocatec had some trouble with the Shanghai authorities because the laser show beamed into the whole airspace above Shanghai. The extremely clear air made the visibility of the laser beams worse and the Bocatec guys had the give extra power to the fog machines. Audi was visible enchanted by the sow and the commitment of the Bocatec crew and plans already other events with the laser technics and show experience of Bocatec.
