The hot dance with the laser

A very fascinating way of applying laser technics is the combination of the light beams with dancers. Suddenly the laser beam takes the center of a breathtaking show and becomes part itself of a surprising performance. This laser dance is so novel and seldom that every spectator is fascinated.

Dancing with the laser…
If laser and human are dancing together and influence each other, a symbiosis of the special kind develops. The laser can create rooms on the dance floor, build up walls and draw lines, where the dancer moves. A really impressive laser dance is also a product of a perfect choreography. The dancer has to move simultaneously to the music and the laser movements. For the illusion of complete control of the laser beam and the laser animations, the dancer has to touch and release the laser beam at the right time. Of course it’s also possible that the dancer deflects the laser beam with mirrors and creates new effects. Such a dance with the laser demands a lot dancing skills and full concentration. The laser intensifies or even emphasizes the movements of the dancer.

As a special highlight the laser dancers could be equipped with radio-DMX controlled hand lases in order to send out the beams themselves. Unique effects are possible.

If you are looking for an extraordinary dancing performance or if you envision a very special show act, a laser dance is our advice. The moves of live and laser in thrilling interaction haven’t been shown often in this form. For sure the dance with the laser is something new, that inspires and electrifies.

INFINITI excites China with new cars and laser show

Comments: No

Infiniti presented its new models for the Chinese market on 29th of august 2013 in Chengdu. 250 „Top of the Top“ salesmen from China experienced the INFINITI night shortly before the car show. The superlative opening show started with an impressive 5 minute laser show by Bocatec and put the audience into best mood.

The Infiniti Motor Company Ltd. With its headquarters in Hong Kong was founded in 1989 in the USA by its Japanese parent company Nissan. The premium automobiles are successful in 50 countries especially in China and Russia. Within these premium cars crystalizes design, technology and performance of the future. Infiniti puts high attention to finesse and accuracy. Suiting this strategy Infiniti only works together with extremely powerful partners. The technical cooperation with the Formula1, the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Team or extraordinary product presentations through artists of the Cirque du Soleil^®are two good examples. With Bocatec Infinity engaged then the laser expert from Hamburg.

And the countdown is on…
Just two weeks before the show Infiniti contacted Bocatec. Already next day Bocatec boss Boris Bollinger was sitting in the plane to Peking to talk with the customer about the details. With the words „Here you have the music – hurry up!” Infiniti confided the whole conception and creative works to Bocatec. 48 hours later – the bill was already paid – the preparation for the show was running. Another 4 days later 3 guys from Bocatec started (light designer, light technicians and laser technicians) and another 10 technical helpers on site started the 6-day installation for the whole light and laser show.

More than 60 spot moving heads and 40 washers had to be installed, 11 high-power lasers with more than 10-20W white light power each, 8 fog- and wind machines and 6 hazers were on board. The control was done by the PHOENIX Show control. Parallel to the laser show videos of Infiniti were played on different screens which were synchronized via SMPTE-time code.

Clear the stage for…!
On Thursday evening around 19pm it was done. With enormous pressure of time and with artistic freedom a laser- and light show was created that almost stole the show from the Model series Q. Seven cars drove suiting to music and light on stage. The final did the Q50 on a street symbolized by laser beams that went far until the horizon. A nice reference to the Infiniti logo.

Feedback that anyone likes
„That was the best car presentation that our agency has ever seen!“ much better the feedback couldn’t have been after the show. But even better, the management of Infiniti liked the show so much that they congratulated Bocatec personally for the fantastic work. The management wanted to play the show again the week after on the trade show, but unfortunately there was no time left to install it there…some resources are thus not infinite. But the next order didn’t wait long. Inspired by the Infiniti show Buick-Cars from the USA engaged Bocatec. So in September Bocatec will present their cars in China.

The motto: „Audi turns the IAA upside down“ was here realized through a specular trade show construction and design. Inside the Audi hall a whole city grew from the ceiling. „This unique building invites you to look at the conditions for urban mobility from a different and unusual point of view“, explained Audi the architecture.

At 9 am in the morning the 20 minute press conference started with 1500 guests. The hanging city was illuminated suspense-packed with complex beamer projections. The complete show with video screens, light, sound and live acts was then professionally clocked. Bocatec supported the wow-effect with 20 lasers and 16 fog machines.

Lasers welcome Buick Cars in Qingdao

Comments: No

General Motors presented the new models of the Buick brand to the Chinese market on the 28^th September 2013. Directly on the coast of the megacity Qingdao Bocatec cared for a fulminant kick-off of the car presentation with a laser show with harbor view.

Buick war already founded in 1903 by David Dunbar Buick in Michigan as an independent car brand. William Durant, who founded General Motors in 1908, took over the brand in 1904. Until the 70ies Buick was very successful inside the USA. In Qingdao Buick now presented the new medium class models of the series Regal and Regal GS. Therefor Buick invited more than 600 customers to a big open air show on the vestibule of the former Olympic station. Meanwhile in China the brand Buick is quite famous, every place in front of the self-constructed stage was taken.

A+ car laser show becomes talk of the town
Inspired by the car show in Chengdu, where Bocatec made a strong presentation for the brand INFINITI, the Buick people engaged the team from Hamburg for the laser show in Qingdao. The former German colony and coastal metropolis is well known for its beer. Bocatec boss – Boris Bollinger – felt like home and also the collaboration with the technicians on site worked perfectly well.

That’s what is behind

3 Bocatec guys (light designers, light technicians and laser technicians) and other ten technical guys on site did the 6-day build-up for the whole light and laser show. More than 60 spot-moving heads and 40 washers had to be installed, 11 high-power lasers each with more than 10-20W white light power, 8 fog and wind machines and 6 hazers were used. The control was done by the PHOENIX show controller. Parallel to the laser show there were videos from Buick run on different screens, synchronized via SMPTE-time code. In only 2 weeks a 5 minute laser- and light show was ready that almost stole the show from the new model row Regal.

Weather capers and good luck
After it dad rained the whole afternoon and the stage was under water until shortly before the show, on Saturday evening at 19pm everything was perfectly ready. The rain went away and the Buick cars drove as stars of the evening on the stage. The new models drove harmonized with the music and light under a sea of laser beams onto the stage.

After the laser show is before the laser show
The customers were very delighted by the Bocatec performance and the tip-top laser show and fully satisfied about the evening. Further car presentations are surely realized by Bocatec as partner. Parallel our expertise for fulminant car shows got around, so that Bocatec will beam the lasers again already in November for the high-performance brand Mercedes AMG.
