Multi-million dollar festival allures Katy Perry and Bocatec to Peking

Comments: No

The 11th January the Infiniti Brand Festival blew up all records in respect to event dimensioning. Pop star Katy Perry interrupted her promo tour for her new album „Prism“ and cancelled the Golden Globes to take part in the Infiniti mega event. At her very first performance in China she sang live as headliner for Infiniti her super hits. Bocatec was hired to rock the complete two hour show full of highlights with light and laser technics. A first league mission.

China pulls ahead
In the meantime is clear: China booms. The country has uncountable dollar millionaires and Peking is even more expensive than Munich. Actually no wonder that the enthusiastic Chinese also take our breath with their events and top everything what we have seen before. Anyway, to experience this show live was plain folly- enormous, bombastic, simply „amazing“!
The car manufacturer Infiniti invited to its brand festival over 10.000 customers to the Peking national indoor Olympic Stadium. Furthermore he engaged Katy Perry and several Chinese super stars for the festival and invested in much technical finesse to put everything on stage. Already 10 TV teams buzzed around to broadcast the car show and the performances of the mega stars for the million spectators on the computer and TV screens at home. Bocatec coordinated the main part of the really opulent show technics for all the show.

Extra portion technical delicacy
The array of technics, controlled by Bocatec was incomparable: 600 moving head lights, as well as over hundred other light effects were installed around the stage. 200 Watt white light laser power in 10 laser machines were mounted for the six laser shows with a lot effort flexibly and movable into the 30 meter high stage setting. 800 square meter big LED screens had to be recorded. Additionally six high-power fog machines and six hazers were used. The management of Infiniti and Katy Perry trusted Bocatec completely and passed over the responsibility for the whole planning and programming oft height and laser show. In the studio the Bocatec experts prepared the show before and let it then run via time code and the Phoenix show controller and two full size Grand MA2. All laser projectors were therefor equipped with WLAN radio link antennas because the cable path was to long with 400 meter each. The buildup took 5 days for the five Bocatec guys and several helpers on site.

That Infiniti didn’t take half-measures also for details shows also this mind-blowing gimmick: Around the main stage swam 8 artificial tall swans on lake surfaces. Every swan was manually remote controlled each by one Chinese. As final surprise the Infiniti Logo in maxi format (4 x 6 m) rose from the two meter deep water basin. Unfortunately such technical extras almost disappeared in European shows.

The Brand Story
The Infiniti Motor Company Ltd. Is very successful in China with its premium cars and wants to transport values like freedom and emotion. The core message of Infiniti was developed as story consequently over the whole brand festival. A giant mask in the middle of the stage stood symbolically for the mask that everybody puts on in working live and day to day life. You have to save your face, you pretend, you are cool and unemotionally without evident feelings. Infiniti wants to take off this mask from its customers and help them to get out of themselves. Infiniti itself proves with its bombastic festival that it is able to realize big plans and that fun and game blast every limit. The mask broke into pieces during the show and was thus defeated by joy, innovation and fantasy. Katy Perry performed her top hits “Roar,” “Teenage Dream”, “Unconditionally”, “Part of me” and “Firework” in changing costumes and showed an impressive stage show. Other stars like Jane Z, Chris Lee and Jimmy Lin sang their hits, dancers, show acts and speeches rotated on stage. The audience experienced the brand Infiniti and the latest models innovational and emotionally through spectacular entertainment.

Infiniti loves quality
Infiniti made it with this mega festival, it set new benchmarks and everyone in China now keeps an eye on the company. That is why Infiniti needs extremely powerful partners for its events. Katy Perry, the formula one and the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Team or the artists of the Cirque du Soleil^®, Infiniti looks for event partners who make everything possible, step beyond and extravagate. With Bocatec Infiniti thus booked for the second time the expert for event and laser technics from Hamburg who realizes every vision. Infiniti was deeply impressed by the show made by Bocatec and plans already the next events with the laser specialist. The marketing department of Infiniti now even uses the pictures of the laser show for further promotion in different media. We look forward to the next amazing show with Infiniti.

Comments: No

Over 500 Rolls Royce dealers meet in February for a meeting in the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. The crowning finish of the several days event was an impressing, artistic projection made by Bocatec onto a huge water screen.

The guys of Bocatec came to Abu Dhabi for 4 days. After two days of buildup of water screen and extremely powerful beamers and the installation of the video software the projection could begin on day three. A challenge during the installation was the extremely low water depth of the spring of only 30 cm. Rolls Royce had ordered a special video artwork from video artist Kanjo Také. The symbiosis of art and the Rolls Royce world enchanted via the extraordinary water screen the dealers. For Bocatec it was already the third time to cooperate with Kanjo Také.

The location of this special event, the Emirates Palace, left no wish unfulfilled. The flagship of the famous Kempinski hotel group is the biggest and most luxurious hotel of the world. The pompous palace is a giant 2500 m long building with cupolas made of gold and oriental flair. For sure these days will be beard in remembrance of the Rolls Royce dealers.

The jubilation of the guests didn’t end, so Audi decided to replay the show in a loop for another half an hour.

Good thing needs preparation
Bocatec traveled to China for the 3 day buildup with its event professionals and a range of high-tech equipment. Full 12 25-30W RGB white light lasers and 6 high power fog machines were packed. In addition 35 7KW Space-Cannons, 70 Sharpy moving heads and of course the Phoenix Show controller and a Grand MA2, which controlled the show via WLAN.

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.
