Hippotizer Media Servers were controlled and programmed by MA2 lighting consoles. Lighting Technicians, Saviranta and Riihij\u00e4rvi, also took care of the video.<\/p>\n

Green Hippo’s Hippotizer Media Servers \u2013 one main and one backup \u2013 controlled a brace of Barco HDQ-2K40, one handling front projection on to gauze, the other providing back projection on PVC. Mikki and his team also used Notch, the game-changing real-time visual creation tool that keeps up with your ideas, which seamlessly integrates with Hippotizer Media Servers \u2013 as well as Hantmade\u2019s Stage Plugin for Cinema 4D. Additional key gear in his Land of Kalevala inventory included the venue\u2019s MA Lighting grandMA2 console, as well as further lighting gear.<\/p>\n

The performance was about Finland in which the epic 19th century Kalevala poem takes root. Kenneth Greve\u2019s Land of Kalevala is a thank-you to, a celebration of and a wake-up call for the Finnish nation. The story touches on milestone moments in Finnish history and culture with a bold combination of diverse art forms. The main concept of the stage design was 38, 12m tall pillars flying through space, creating different three-dimensional scenes and transitions. Mikki\u2019s wish was to create lighting and projection content to compliment the \u2018mass\u2019 of the pillars, creating a single, visual entity. One that, in Mikki\u2019s vision, represents the weight of Finland\u2019s history and subconscious memory, which carries from generation to generation.<\/p>\n

The Finnish National Opera and Ballet (FNOB) marked 100 years of Finnish independence with a number of exclusive events. Taking place in the FNOB\u2019s home base, the Opera House in Helsinki, Kenneth Greve\u2019s ballet spectacle explores the very essence of Finland and the Finns through dance. The crack team behind this occasion was very carefully assembled, with Mikki Kunttu taking charge of set, lighting and projection design.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_separator][vc_btn title=”BACK TO ALL ENTRIES” style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”white” align=”left” css_animation=”top-to-bottom” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmondodrawards.com%2Femea-apac%2Fview-entries%2F|||”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
