More details from Parasol Advanced Systems (www.parasolsystems.com):
Hermann Fruhm, the inventor and co-founder of Parasol Systems says “This technology will revolutionize the lighting industry. Parasol has literally added a new dimension to the lighting business that we now call the ‘Z-axis’. The ‘Z-axis’ is a patented technology that allows lighting designers to move the lighting fixtures themselves.”
The company boasts three product lines: The STAR600, Kinetic Light Ring System (KLR), and Automated Cart System (ACS) which have appeared all over the world including Europe, Asia, and the United States.
Most recently the KLR10 has taken center stage for the latest installment of the Step Up movie franchise and has been significantly highlighted in all of the film trailers and in the finale dance sequence.
Brian Pearson, ASC, Director of Photography for Step Up 5, raved about the flexibility and dynamic nature of the product, “Parasol’s KLR10 was really the show-stopper on the motion picture Step Up 5 – 3D, surpassing my best expectations in terms of performance, reliability, and flexibility. From the moment I saw it I just knew it had a place in our big dance finale sequence.”
The movie has raked in over $6.4 million over opening weekend, and is continuing to draw a crowd for this dance spectacle already surpassing $49 million worldwide.
Parasol Systems is thrilled with the final result and sends their sincerest thanks to everyone involved on the project, namely Brian Pearson, ASC, John Dekker, Lionsgate Entertainment, Dave Butzler, the Bandit Lites crew, William F. Whites, Gaetan Jalbert, and Don Thorseness.
