Sensational JVR
Commencing in Amsterdam in 2000, Sensation has become one of the most
spectacular dance and music phenomenons in the world. Celebrating its
10th anniversary in July this year, with record number of tickets sold for the
premier of Wicked Wonderland - its theme for 2009 - Sensation once again
kicked off its world tour at the Amsterdam ArenA.
World-renowned DJs take to the Sensation decks during each
eight-hour spectacle of extraordinary stage shows, acrobats,
actors, state-of-the-art lightshows, lasers and fireworks.
Performers dance across the venue and abseil from the roof,
flames shoot from the stage and carnival floats part the
crowds. With white only as the dress code, the crowd becomes
one with the lights and music, delivering a sensational
experience for all concerned.
Providing a visual feast for the thousands of dance fans, the
show is completely based video use. JVR provided six banners,
measuring 15 metres in height and six metres in width beamed
using FLMHD20’s. Each banner had its own stack using two
FLMHD20’s with warping function. Butterfly wings were
projected with a triple stack using two FLMR22+ and one
FLMR20+ each stack. For technical reasons, the projectors had
to project Portrait images, which meant they had to stand on
their side. They were made to stand 100% off axis of the wings
proving perfect for the warping module.
In total eight Mitrix screens on the center stage were moving
throughout the show using Cyberhoists. Completing the visual
image, two keyholes were created with Barco Dlite7, whilst the
complete infrastructure was driven by ten Imagepro HD’s.
As Sensation’s reputation has grown, the music has evolved
and taken on it’s own style, playing the most cutting edge
music of today and tomorrow. Sensation also continually
champions the local heroes with local DJs always being hand-
picked to open or close Sensation in their own countries in front
of their home crowds.
Now expanded beyond Amsterdam, Sensation now tours in
countries across the world, including Germany, Belgium,
Russia, Poland, Australia, South America and the UK.
