2000 ILDA Awards


Presented at the 2000 ILDA Conference in Stuttgart, Germany
Hosted by LOBO electronic and MediaLas Laserproducts
 

Laser display professionals from around the world were honored Oct. 8th with prestigious awards for artistic and technical achievement during the annual conference of the International Laser Display Association (ILDA).

Companies from Germany, Australia, Italy and the USA were recognized for creativity and excellence in eleven artistic categories that represented how laser displays are used to celebrate special events, promote products and entertain audiences.

Winners included LOBO electronic's Millennium celebration at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, Laser Rental's role in Houston's citywide "Sky Power" extravaganza, and Laservision Macro-Media's playful "Millennium Bugs" animation show in Australia.

ILDA's Fenning Awards for Technical Achievement produced a first-place tie. The top honor was shared between AVI Imagineering with Lasers' Omnistar laser projection system and Pangolin Laser System's QM2000 Laser Display Processor Board.

2000 TECHNICAL AWARDS

Judges: Andreu Ibanez, Jay Parkinson, Tim Walsh

of the 2000 technical winners, including credits

Fenning Award for Technical Achievement

1st (tie):  "Omnistar", Audio Visual Imagineering

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.


1st (tie):   "QM2000 Laser Display Processor Board", Pangolin Laser Systems

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.

2nd:  (not awarded)

3rd:  "Dot.Monkey", Laservision Macro-Media

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 software batch processes images (from a variety of sources) and formats them instantaneously to provide truly presentation-perfect results.
