Video touch wall for ITCILO

An 8×3 metre touch wall with 80 Christie Microtiles supported the presentation to the ILO Board of Directors of the 8 main projects and related budget of the International Training and Improvement Center of ILO, the International Labor Organization (UN body).

The touch wall touch initially supported the presentation by the project managers and then ensured going into greater detail thanks to the consultation by the participants of the event.

Supplying the wall and the interactive app, created in just 15 days with the support of the ITCILO team, was a major challenge.

EXCOGITARE REACHES THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

Second year running with PepsiCo for hospitality at the event

First in 2016 at Milan, then 2017 in Cardiff, Excogitare has provided multimedia skills and technologies for the two events.

In Milan, the 600 square meter area of PepsiCo, the sponsor of this major trophy, was equipped with 2 large LED walls, a video camera system for show cooking, a lighting system, loudspeaker system, and an audio system with DJ consoles. Excogitare and Bluefactoryevents also collaborated to produce an interactive application for Gatorade, where guests could take selfies in a “Champions” environment and personalize their Gatorade bottle.  The “Champions” photos then powered intense activity on the web.

In Cardiff, besides the hospitality area of the Village, equally sparkling, rich in design and technology, Excogitare also organised audio-video and lighting installations for an internal PepsiCo event with around 250 guests. This included a show of about an hour where every brand of the group involved in the UEFA sponsorship showcased their activities in diverse ways: videos, presentations, talk shows, parkour performances and soccer ball tricks…  concluding with the live singing of the UEFA anthem, the presentation of the trophy and the participation from their hotel in Cardiff of the fantastic Black Eyed Peas, the group chosen this year for the opening ceremony.

CISCO AND “LITTLE CUBES”

Cisco made the decision to use Christie MicroTiles™ at the Riccione Congress Hall, enhancing its Top Partners’ digital installations at the 2017 edition of the multinational’s annual get-together. The event provides an opportunity to explore the new challenges of digital transformation. 
A curved video wall and a number of 55-inch monitors brought high-impact staging to life.

 

BANCO BPM

Multimedia technologies for the first assembly

We provided multimedia services and technologies.

Interactive diamonds

In-situ LED wall with windows

Pharma company meeting for 250 participants

We decided to use a large 16x5m LED wall to bring to life create a meeting in the cruise ship terminal at Copenhagen. The main feature of the wall was its huge, very bright windows.
We also provided audio, video and lighting services in the break-out rooms, marketplace and poster gallery.

Big screen for dermatology congress

Dublin Convention Centre, June 2015,

SUPER-PROJECTOR FOR EVENTS

Rent a 30K-4K CHRISTIE BOXER – the power of a heavyweight with the agility of a middleweight.

The super-projector was designed to make a high-impact when renting. It is ideal for large events and 3D mapping. Unique in its class, the super-projector offers unbeatable performance, lumens and dimensions. Boasting 4k 4096 × 2160 resolution with genuine TRULIFE technology, it offers excellent image quality, including HD, thanks to its internal Christie Upscaling processor. Easy handling ensures reduced time and costs when compared to inferior set-ups: the Christie weighs only 68kg as against 124kg for projectors of similar performance. It measures 96 x 60 x 30cm compared to the traditional 153 x 91 x 72cm. The super-projector features three 1.38” DLP chips and six lamps using Mercury technology, which makes it the quietest in its class. It also has a full range of lenses and is integrated with Christie’s Twist system. It can be positioned in different settings, thus compensating for design and staging constraints. It even allows distorted images to be mixed and corrected in multivision use or complex mapping. The super-projector is powered by a simple single-phase electrical source as opposed to an industrial, three-phase supply.

Excogitare also offers projectors such as the Christie 14K-M, less bright than the Boxer 30K, but with outstanding performance despite its compact size. It can be used in low-lighting environments and when only smaller projection screens are available.

We have managed several multipoint meetings, where up to 14,000 people have attended and voted simultaneously in five Italian cities.

An internal meeting full of activities and emotions

Incentive session with ten edited montages in real time in Miami, FL

ALTANA Pharma asked us to organize an incentivesession for 100 participants. There were ten groups, each given a theme and one afternoon to create a short film.
We prepared a kit with everything needed to create a movie and a detailed guide for each of the participants. Each team was given a map and a van with a guide. Each person could choose a role and for each role there was an envelope containing tools and instructions: the director, the cinematographer, the screenwriter, the sound engineer, the cameraman, etc. A team of six editors were waiting for on their return and in the space of a few hours they put together the 10 films that were screened and received awards during a gala dinner.
This type of incentive session, organized back in 2003, which was already complex enough to organize presented even more of a challenge given the very narrow timeframes allowed and the high level of care that we gave to all the details.

Projection mapping

Is it possible to simplify production?

“The event is next week, we do not know what the structure is or what the set will be like until the last moment.  Can you get something ready?”
How many times have we heard this from the client?
We built a library of content: from graphic games, lights, strobe effects, buildings collapsing, vegetation sprouting  and so on and so forth. Some of our generic graphics can be easily customized with bespoke colours, logos or shapes inspired by the event. Using special software we can map a variety of generic content onto the set, making it seem to move, spin around or disappear completely – with only a day’s notice, if required.
We can also stream live content or project interactive content and map it directly onto the set.

Pantoprazole

In those years, we realized that we could compete with other agencies at the international level by offering expertise and flexibility. We have been involved with numerous stands, interactive installations, symposia, internal meetings and special events with ALTANAPharma.

With a picturesque location, the terminal for cruise ships from the local harbour with 350 pax, the plenary hall was enhanced with a large stage and a 15×8 meter screen with 4 projectors of 20,000 ANSI lumens managed media by a server and graphics mixer. We used projections and lighting to create a stunning and unique  atmosphere. Each brand presented their product using their own creative ideas, which produced  a very complex mix of communication and performances: from dance to storytelling.
We also added magic to the gala dinner with lights, live music and special effects.

Meeting for 250 marketing executives

This was the first global meeting of Novartis’s Dermatology Division and where the “Skin to live in” campaign was presented. For the plenary we created three large white walls on which we showed different projection layouts depending on the presentation. For the staging we used 5 20,000 ANSI lumens projectors, lights, audio and related control rooms. To emphasize the content being presented, we created an application with which it was possible to write keywords and then project them on the screens at the critical moment.

“Connected” meeting in Istanbul

A wired and wireless network for Sudler & Hennessey

In 2010 this major communications agency needed to set up a dedicated network for a special pharmaceutical meeting with 400 participants in Istanbul.

The system provides simultaneous access to 75% of those present, making network, web applications and active contentavailable.

Christie MicroTiles™ and large projections

Vibram also chose for the first time Christie MicroTiles™ with a configuration that has reproduced the shape of the company’s logo with 52 MicroTiles™ for the firm’s Christmas dinner, held specially for its partners in Montebelluna, Treviso. To celebrate with all their employees at the Albizzate factory in Varese, Vibram chose a solution which involved projecting onto four large screens in Milan. We provided both solutions and the highly effective content production was prepared directly by the customer.
