For production and rental company Soundwise of Denmark, choosing to carry Elation lighting products in a market with more traditional preferences is a strategic move aimed at providing unique offerings. “Denmark has traditionally been quite conservative when it comes to entertainment lighting equipment,” shares Lars Thorsager, founder and sales director at Soundwise. He says however that the trend is beginning to turn, albeit slowly. “As the market here begins to realize that there are other innovative products out there that can set them apart, it’s getting a bit easier to specify other gear.”Read More »Soundwise of Denmark Embraces Elation in a Traditional Market

For more than 20 years, the TV Total WOK World Championships have been as much a part of winter sports television as the Four Hills Tournament or the Streif downhill in Kitzbühel. On the 1.6 km long bobsleigh track in Winterberg, Germany, the single and quad woks reach top speeds of up to 115 km/h. As is usual in modern sports television, the focus of the production is not only on the competition itself, but also on the surrounding program of presenters, guests, and music acts. For this reason, the lighting team – led by Jerry Appelt – and the overall technical service provider Cape Cross opted for flexible Cameo spotlights such as the OTOS B5 IP65 beam moving head, the S4 IP LED softlights, and the ZENIT W600 SMD from the ZENIT W600 Series, which is widely used in the industry.Read More »Jerry Appelt Stages TV Total WOK WM with Cameo
