NIYU Creates Pop-Up Location in Munich with GLP Lighting

Back in September last year, a creative pop-up location for MINI was created for interim use in a department store in Stachus, Munich. The technical planning for the temporary project was created by NIYU GmbH, on whose behalf Roland Greil Lighting Design took over the lighting design and planning. Associate Lighting Designer and Planner Michael Kuehbandner specified 315 GLP luminaires to provide lighting for the multi-purpose rooms. Fifty-five FUSION X-PAR 12Z, 108 impression FR1 TM, 54 impression X4 Bar 20, and 14 KNV Cube – all of which are from GLP – were installed.Read More »NIYU Creates Pop-Up Location in Munich with GLP Lighting

Rocking the Real House with Virtual Magic

The 1975’s fifth (and ongoing) concert tour, “Still…At Their Very Best,” kicked off in mid-September, 2023, on the heels of their fourth tour, “At Their Very Best.” And although the set looks the same as the two-story house that debuted in November 2022, there are visual—and virtual—twists beyond the newly added B-stage where lead singer Matthew Healy acts out bits between the new tour’s two-act format. Act 1 also features fresh video content from Green Wall Designs, and as Green Wall’s Viktor Rundlöf notes, there are nuances that play with the audience’s perception of what is real and what is virtually enhanced. “We did a piece where we took a 3D model of the set and lit it in different ways in software. Then we captured the shadow from that lighting on a virtual screen and rendered that to the real screen.”
