Peppe Tannemyr´s, designer at SSR Digigobos AB, my corner in the wild wide world and the small wonders of working in the area of mediaservers, and focus on Hippotizer and also content.
I had a long time been placed into a strange part of the entertaiment industry, the music contest here in Sweden and also europe...not my goal but a good living! I have spent many hours and nights making content for LD´s on location in Sweden, Latvia, Turkey,Ukraine,Serbia,Finland for ESC song contest.I don´t really know how I ended up in the world of mirrorballs but me ( and Lennart "Korven" Wåhlin, was my co driver and the great guru of C4D) had a good and trimmed setup for going somewhere and just do what we was doing, twinkel treasurs for LED walls or floor or whatever... also in a close relation in 3D and media servers with Pixelfield Sweden, , Andreas ( content magic boy of wonder) , Per and Anders ( the projects man of dreams)
Following comments will be about strange or nice moments in this area!
This work I been involved in.
Another year, another same thing again. This time with a special set up for the led screens, so we have to either use videomapper or cut up all the content in 7 parts....we ended up with not using the videomapper, really a downer! But with Mr Eyebrow and Bullen nothing can go wrong (yes?) so we trust this guys. Danne and Kalle swinging the lights and Emma as a middle act supervisior....Check the diary on : http://www.eyebrowdesigns.blogspot.com/
With my dear friend Ola Melzig and Timo Kauristo, the soft boys of fashion this year was okey also...One Hippo HD, a screen and models.....nothing really new...
Some graphics for the show again, this time the great "Glass door" that simulate the host in the background preparing himself and then appears in live after exploding the Glass wall....funny thing. Also some more graphics for the acts. Masen, my dear friend was in charge of the ideas....also the famous Arnold Ball is used again, a never ending good un-useful clip that always seems to be useful again....
Another thing with Mikki Kunttu, lighting up a cathedral in city of Helsinki Finland. He made this before with lights only, this time with video (Check out his website gallery for those pics, great looking ) . 2 Barco HDM30,GrandMA and of course Hippo HD with Johan West as provider and Mikko as programmer.... The weather is the only malfunction, to much snow and clouds that´s reflect the city lights, the Barco goes low...good weather it is looking great. Me and Lennart is here and making content.
This time I did graphics from Sweden ( skype) and a ftp server, will never return to Ukraine again unless the money is enormous.And they everytime is not close to that. Per Sundin as LD again, Walle,Viktor, Timo,Ola was there but a D3 server that after the big talk was more a file player then a mediaserver forced the "old time" handle with files...slow down, blur that, and always a "Per Sundin request", smaller but bigger and less and more ........thank god for the file size was small and the DVX codec did compress that even more.I heard that the live set was good looking, the broadcast in Sweden did lack of some artifects as bad black level or something....
With Tobias Åberg it turned out so good that SVD thought it was the best video / light production for Winnerbäck ever... One HippoCritter for all, one as a bacup.
This time again the Finnish Light guru Mikki Kunttu had the good taste to let us be involved in a dramatic project that had some time issues, Lennart had to be a little longer in Copenhagen then we thought, but the result was great!
Musical work at Svenska Teatern in Helsinki with mr talented Mikki Kunttu as designer and LD. Everything was running with one (1) Hippo HD that Johan West supplied. Lot of work for everyone but looks great!
LLB 09, another booth and showing gobos and Hippos, also a seminar about timeline based mediaservers and as always I can be talking in hours ( with no problem )
Just spending a week in Gothenburg, Sweden with Korven for the Song Contest called "Melodifestivalen 2009" that you can read on on their own blogg ( www.eyebrowdesigns.blogspot.com) check that out!!!
First time for Hippos here, so 2 x Hippotizers HD, one only as spare and Mitrix walls and flexlite walls, broadcast on SVT every saturdays in Sweden! Poor Calle Brattberg, the operator of the hippo. has been forced to learn this units fast.....
Photo by the LD master mr Eyebrow himself Fredrik Jönsson that really likes the VU meters he made us to do for the "heavymetal" song.....photos by Lucas Lindholm
The 12x8 m backprojected screen was great, done with a Barco HDM30, that have a great output,and a Hippotizer HD that was output to a Barco screen Pro with the SDI sources from the bus.
Also this time we had a setup for the party after, 1 x Hippo HD running with TripleHeadsToGo and had the beta version of ScreenThief, so we had 6 Laptops running pictures from Powerpoint into the HD to all the screens.....on the edge, but it did work!!
