Club K - The Coolest In-House Mini-Nightclub on the west coast

When you are out clubbing with your friends, do you ever wish that the night would never end? Wish that you didn't have to worry about how to get back home afterwards? Wish the music, the lights, and all your friends could follow you to your house? Well that is exactly how one of our clients felt. He wanted to have a Vegas style mini-club in his guest-house overlooking the pool. This was exactly the sort of project we knew we wouldn't pass up in a lifetime.
The first feature of this miniature nightclub that immediately grabs your attention is the intricate geometric ceiling, built of over 300 feet of Firefly Floppy Flex LED tape laid into a tiered ceiling. This product is made to replicate the look of neon-signs, and looks INCREDIBLE as effects dance across the entire ceiling. Recessed Gantom RGBW fixtures set throughout the pattern and into the surrounding ceiling provide a colorful glow to the room that shifts and pulses along with the neon pattern. ​
Club K Ceiling Pattern and Video Wall
Across two of the nightclub walls stretch over twenty five feet of Chauvet Video F3 Panels, creating a screen 2048 pixels wide. This array runs on a NovaStar processor, which in turn is provided content by Avolites Ai. Ai also provides content for the Floppy Flex ceiling, ensuring that the colors throughout the room always compliment one another. 

Overall control is provided by an Avolites TitanNet Processor, which controls the Gantom fixture array, as well as several Martin MH10 Beam FX's, Rush Scanner 1 LED's, and Rush Par 3 RGBs. The TNP also controls Ai, dimmer circuits for practical fixtures in the club and patio, and even the breaker panel providing power throughout the club, allowing individual breakers to be turned off remotely once the party is done in the early hours of the morning.

In order for the client to control this unique room of his house, we programmed an intuitive API integration to the TNP, allowing a tablet to access the lighting system as a touch-screen controller. From here, one can pull up pre-set color pallets, as well as activate playbacks containing pre-programmed shows containing synchronized video wall and ceiling pattern content, together with complimentary moving-light effects and eye-candy.  
In total, there are well over one thousand pixels of control throughout the ceiling of this mini-club, over twenty five feet of video wall, and an almost unthinkable amount of cables for such a small room hidden away within the walls and ceiling. The overall look is incredible, and we couldn't be more proud of the results of this project!

Kings Dominion Winterfest (Nov/Dec 2018)

1/7/2019

 
Picture
Throughout 2018, our team worked tirelessly to design, manufacture, install, and program a massive winter event at Kings Dominion theme park in Virginia. In 2016 we helped create our first Winterfest at Great America (CA), followed by more Winterfests the following year at Worlds of Fun (MO), Kings Island (OH), and Carowinds (NC/SC). We made it our priority to improve on the artistic designs and the products we used every year, and Winterfest 2018 was no exception. The systems design team, led by director James Sidler, did an incredible job this past winter season, bringing the holidays to life for hundreds of thousands of guests by using custom tailored products throughout 14 uniquely themed park zones. ​

Due to the large scale of the project, programming utilized several different controllers to maximize the potential of each product. Overall control for the entire project was handled via Avolites Titan over a total of 5 TitanNet Processors. Both Avolites AI and Madrix were used to map and create thousands of effects throughout the park with both controllers taking go commands from the TitanNet system. Avolites AI controlled a whole zone of pixel mapped trees and various decorations, while Madrix provided direct pixel control  for a 40' Christmas Tree in that zone, as well as the massive "crystal ball" installation. In this image, you can see this massive Christmas tree through the lively decorations of Planet Snoopy, featuring large colorful bulbs throughout the foliage. 
Our Systems Design team designed a series of 48 strands to be mounted to the iconic Eiffel Tower at Kings Dominion, creating an almost 300 foot tall Christmas tree, topped by pixel-controlled stars.

This tree contained over 12,500 RGB “crystal balls”, each about the size of a grapefruit, which, combined with the four giant stars on top, provided over 15,500 pixels of control. Each ball creates an even 360 degree glow of color from all sides, with steel cables keeping the entire strand in position without blocking any light output. This created an amazing canvas for Madrix to create a variety of spectacular effects that could be viewed from literally any angle!

​At the front entrance of the park, we also programmed a 70' tall Christmas Tree that provided control for the red, blue, warm white and cool white twinkle strands on each of its branches. This tree, with its 3D star topper, ran chase sequences through the hundreds of branches, creating spiraling and twinkling effects that were especially vibrant during the nightly tree lighting ceremony. This 70' tree can be seen in the foreground of the Eiffel tower here.

One zone, Candy Apple Grove, was covered by over 80,000 pixels, which spread up every tree in varied lengths, as well as lit color-morphing wreaths, Christmas presents, and color-chasing arches. This multitude of pixels was controlled by Avolites AI. Almost all of the products in this zone were specially designed and manufactured for this project to create the most incredible, bright,  and colorful holiday atmosphere. 
​
For the lovers of Christmas carols or a more traditional look, we also manufactured 88 wireframes for the Twelve Days of Christmas! These wireframes were up to 7 feet tall and covered in colorful rope light, lining the popular Blue Ridge Tollway at the park, inviting guests to drive in a scenic sing-along!
