Here you get an exclusive preview of the opening show of the Olympic Games in Vancouver. On site there are 50 city lights (10 kW sky spots in different colors) a lot pyrotechnics and flamers.
The show is just running without pyro effects and fog, so the lasers are not yet visible.
We are qualified for the Olympic Games in Vancouver as laser specialist and will report every day via video blog about the most important events in Canada.
Almost 2 kilometer cable and several RGB lasers with up to 16,7 mio. Colors and many green lasers are installed on site and will be part of a multimedia show with light, video and pyrotechnics for the opening of the Olympic Games.
The laser show was developed by one of the best programmers in the world Schmieder) and integrated into the overall concept.
Boris Bollinger is on site with his team and the laser software PHOENIX that was programmed by himself as head developer over the last 12 years.
We can expect excellent video material in HD quality from the hidden backstage area. We are looking forward to the feedback on our “laser diary”

For the production company Endemol we just finished a laser show in the old warehouse district (Speicherstadt) in Hamburg successfully.
The famous TV show “Nur die Liebe zählt” (only love counts) with presenter Kai Pflaume was surrounded this time with a laser and pyro show with ambient light. The requirements of the TV team were discussed 4 days before the shooting, one day later, Bocatec presented a worked-out technics and show plan.
After having talked to the Endemol creative people in detail we got the responsibility for the technical part. We illuminated the ship pier with colored LED spots and placed flame bowls on the whole set. From the laser projection in heart-shape was done a video-laser cutting projection. The beamer video projection was cut with the laser into heart shape and we realized a laser tunnel with heart laser for this day.
Of course we also added fog machines, big ventilators and ambient light as well as a big mobile power unit and 1200 meter cable.
Here more information about the making off:

2009 international acts from London, Paris and Genève came to Luneburg to perform at a giant electro party initiated by www.dein-elektro.de. The party event took place in the club Garage. Bocatec designed the stage setup and the light show of the evening.
Two 3 Watt RGB lasers completed the show. Artists like TokTok vs Soffy O, Play Paul and Chamberlain made the evening an extra class electronic night for the party crowd.
The 16th November 2009 the most modern synchrotron beam source of the world was brought online officially in the DESY. Bocatec escorted the inauguration ceremony with a multimedia show.
DESY is one of the leading accelerator centers of the world. Scientist explore the diversity of the microcosm with the huge DESY units – from the interplay of smallest elementary parts, the behavior of new nano material up to the essential processes between biomolecules.
Besides the minister for development, Annette Schavan, Desy director Helmut Dosch and around 300 guests also Bocatec was invited to the DESY celebration. We made the surrounding multimedia show. Symbolically the guests of honor started the color and light show to welcome Petra 3.
For the 25th jubilee of the Pioneer Alpha-Festivals in Schwerin the offer of highlights was bigger than ever before. Besides dance acts, special light shows and 4 floors where international artists of the electronic music gave their best, Bocatec presented its specially designed laser show and supported the biggest electro festival of north Germany with a laser line-up that is unique in Germany.
More than only lasers…
Bocatec not only moves its laser beams synchronously to the music, but composed own sequences in all colors and color intensities to a wonderful laser show. An eye candy for all guests. On the whole 126 Watt laser power was needed (2x 25 Watt RGB lasers, 2x 15 Watt RGB lasers, 2x 3Watt RGB lasers and 4x 10 Watt Green lasers) made the sports and congress hall glow and supported big artists like Ida Corr, Lexy & K-Paul, Tom Novy, Felix Kröcher, Deepack, Showtek and many more. All together made the crowd dance like crazy. The laser show was programmed with the Laser Software PHOENIX 3. For all who missed the evening, here some impressions.

During the soccer world championship 2006 the shiny blue goals decorated the cityscape of Hamburg for 4 weeks. As eye-catches the 165 light installations got Hamburg in the mood for the mega event. Every night Bocatec shoot laser beams symbolically onto the goals and hit the mark without end.
165 goals for Hamburg
The Blue Goals lightened up the entire Hamburg because many companies put up their own blue goal. Amongst others the goals shined from the building of ECE project management, the publishing house Gruner + Jahr, the Axel-Springer-building, the airport Hamburg, the central mosque or from the hotel Atlantic. One blue Goal overstretched even the rail tracks of the Hamburg subway near the St. Pauli-gangways, so that the trains of the line „U3“ drove through the goal. The biggest goal with 50 x 80 m was installed by Blohm + Voss at the dry dock. Even the Hamburg Miniature Wonderland put up a mini goal inside its exhibition.
Bocatec kicks and scores
Eight laser locations on the highest buildings and urban emblems of Hamburg were reserved for Bocatec. From these the Bocatec laser experts fired every night from 11pm on for one hour laser beams onto the goals that were up to 4 km distance away. From the Mundsburg towers in the center of Hamburg the lasers reached almost every goal. Thanks to Bocatec Hamburg got countless direct hits. Even inside the famous touristic attraction – the Miniature Wonderland Bocatec installed two lasers for the mini goals and thus delighted the visitors. As special highlight the artist Michael Batz could also control the laser beams via sms himself.
The next world championship will come for sure
The 30th September 2006, after the crazy soccer summer, Hamburg bid solemnly farewell to the lovely blue light goals. After a concert and a firework above the Alster Bocatec looks forward to the next huge event in Hamburg.
