The 1300 spectators were quite amazed when the new Cadillac models speeded with squeaky tires below them, through

laser mazes

and around fire columns. The chinese Cadillac dealers and sales people traveled from all over China to Shanghai. Today the traditional company General Motors has more than 58,000 employees in China and offers with the brands Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Jiefang, Opel and Wuling the broadest spectrum of vehicles. 2013 General Motors sold almost 3.2 Millionen vehicles in China. No wonder that the the drive to this show was it worth for the guests.

Spezial construction for Cadillac show

Where usually the ships land and clear their goods on the banks of the Huangpujiang river, Cadillac built up an extra glass street, special buildings and audience tribunes. The location was planned so that the cars could drive below the visitors. In doing so the audience could see the cars through the glass floor. The side walls were aditionally raised during the show and gave free view on the spectacular Shanghai skyline.

ATS-L in action

For one and a half hours the Cadillac show thrilled the invited public and the curious onlookers with stunts, maneuvers,

fire and laser effects

.
The drivers of the new limousines, speeding up in only 6,2 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, delivered an outdoor wiggly line race around fire columns and drifted in circles inside a 160 m²

laser maze

boxing ring. The race course was framed by over 600 moving heads and 800 running meter LED modules. But that was not the end: additionally dancers and singers performed in the indoor area. They were escorted by a

light and laser show

and the highlight: a

laser tunnel

out of the ground.

Technical innovation for optimal laser effect

For the Cadillac event Bocatec worked this time with an extrem amount of power only above and below the audience. Thanks to this innovative

laser arrangement

, the people were not blinded by the beams and the lasers were shown to advantage despite the light spectacle indoors and outdoors.

According to this Cadillac was very satisfied with the

bombastic car presentation

RTL brings Bocatec into spotlight

Comments: No

On Monday the 23rd January 2012 the team of RTL Nord visited our offices to document our workflow and competences in multimedia projects. RTL followed all steps of a successful event preparation. So our team was joined in different scenarios and surroundings while doing its work.

From the first meeting and the brainstorming over the concept phase and the bid proposal up to the completed presentation at the customer the RTL team filmed us for two days. Hereby we provided our skills and know-how in all areas of the laser-, light- and pyro technics.

Using the example of the opening of the ShipLAS hall of the laser center Nord LZN we sketched at a mutual brainstorming in the team our concept. Boris Bollinger, manager of Bocatec committed himself for the concept in front of the management of the LZN and proved once again his imaginativeness and his negotiating skkills.

Of course Bocatec is nothing without its competent team. Exactly this symbiosis of trained and motivated colleagues is the USP of Bocatec. And so the show was a huge success.

The guests and employees started a thunderous applause, many hadn’t ever seen such a show before. Also the senate of Hamburg liked the show a lot. Hamburger. The evening with the fantastic show was a perfect final with a good preparation.

BOWLDAYS 2011: Laser show + bowling for a needy cause

Comments: No

The premiere of the Charity event Bowldays took place in 2011 in the bowling center Schillerpark in Berlin. The participants bowled for a needy cause. Bocatec motivated the bowlers with a laser show, to underline the importance of the event.

For the first time, several celebrities and sportsmen came together. Actors from „Anna und die Liebe“, „Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten“ as well as different sport bowlers played for the good cause. The revenue of the event was donated to the Björn-Schulz-foundation, who supports the children’s hospital “Sonnenhof”. Even though there were not only strikes on the bowling lane, the Bowlday 2011 was an unforgettable event for everyone, also thanks to the show by Bocatec.

Bocatec presents the laser harp

Comments: No

We proudly present the “laser harp” that now completes our portfolio.

The ProLight laser harp controller will transform your laser projector into an oversize and frameless full-color laser harp. This virtual light harp has instead of strings one or multi-colored laser beams, that can be played like a real harp. The various application possibilities of the laser harp controller convince. It can control audio or video events or play pictures or music.

That’s how it works
By interrupting one or several laser beams, optical sensors send the info to control system. These signals are then transferred via the MIDI-Out interface e.g. to a synthesizer, sampler, the sound card or via “MIDI to USB” interface to a PC. There the signals are turned to sounds, laser patterns or music. With the laser harp controller can thus be realized fascinating and breathtaking live shows.

And soon it starts…
Together with the software (Phoenix4 Live) the laser harp can be used to produce completely individual laser effects and patterns. Phoenix4 LIVE integrated therefor already a laser harp control, so you can start a live laser interaction and performance without any adjustments.
