2000 Fenning Awards

1st Place (tie): AVI's Omnistar

Inventors: Joanne Young & Ward Davis. Omnistar is a laser projection system and screen all-in-one. The screen is an inflatable sphere up to 30 feet in diameter that floats above crowds and incorporates AVI's patented 360-degree laser projector. Full-color laser graphics are projected on the inside of the balloon's surface, offering a projection system that can be easily and safely rigged in a wide variety of venues. www.av-imagineering.com

1st Place (tie): Pangolin's QM2000 Processor Board

Hardware & Firmware Designer: William R. Benner, Jr. Pangolin wanted laserists to have a choice of recording or playing back using the same device (computer board). The company also sought the best balance of features that laserists asked for: power (DSP-type processor, large memory), fast speed (over 100,000 pts/sec output), small size (small enough to fit in a PCI slot), meeting all major industry standards (compatible with ILDA, DMX, Windows and PC computers), having backwards compatibility with older systems, and perhaps most important for laserists: being affordable. www.pangolin.com

3rd Place: Laservision Macro-Media's Dot.Monkey

Concept Development: Paul McCloskey
Software Development: Andrew Petersen
Interface Definition & Consulting: Lloyd Weir, John Eustace
Technical Support: Robert McRostie, Stephen McMahon
Laservision's motivation to develop Dot.Monkey was born out of necessity and a desire to liberate Laserists (Dot.Monkeys) from the repetitious non-creative process of image digitizing, coloring and editing. Alternatives failed to meet standards sought by Laservision's artists and those demanded by clients. Without a viable quality alternative hand finished frames remain costly and time consuming. Put simply, Laservision decided to automate the digitizing process so that creative energies can be dedicated to producing better, cost efficient shows. Dot.Monkey has increased studio productivity by as much as 600%. The sofware batch processes images (from a variety of sources) and formats them instantaneously to provide truly presentation-perfect results.
