Amelia NV

For the fourth consecutive year, Amelia NV covered the back wall of Earls Court with a ShowLED curtain - this year the brand new ShowLED Animation system. Measuring 12m in height by 39m in width, and offering individual pixel control of its denser, but still randomly-spaced LEDs, the curtain drew excellent responses from visitors. The system works in conjunction with the Arkaos media software system to offer clients the possibility to instantly turn their starcloth into a backdrop with medium-resolution still images, video loops and flash animations. From October to December, an Animation curtain will tour with the Night of the Proms shows in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. The curtain will even be bigger then the one seen at PLASA - 15m by 36m, or 540sq.m.

The company has had a successful year, with high-profile shows including the Eurovision Song Contest, and now finds that clients are approaching them for something special to their shows. Kenny Janssens told L&SI: "PLASA was again a very good show for us. There's no other show in the world that, in my opinion, attracts so many decision-makers from all over the world. This personal opinion comes from the fact that I meet every year at PLASA my Turkish distributor, South African distributor, German distributor, Australian distributor - and many clients from Dubai, to Scandinavia to Venezuela."
