Germany's Next Topmodel 2011, Lanxess Arena

ELATION and Germany´s next topmodels are turning heads!

The unique ELATION moving head EPV762MH LED video screens were in use for the very first time in Germany at a public live-TV mega-event, the finals of Germany’s next top model 2011 by Heidi Klum at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne. Thus, ELATION was able to contribute to the perfect visual presentation of the finals with gorgeous top model finalists, and particularly to the extravagant acts of Lady Gaga, Keri Hilson and Caro Emerald. 15.000 visitors in the Lanxess Arena and several million TV-viewers saw the show.

Light designer Manuel da Costa used the ELATION moving head LED video panels for the show, their first application in Germany. The design for the stage setting for Germany´s next top model was conceived by Florian Wieder, who has also handled the Eurovision Song Contest and other events, for instance The X-Factor and MTV European Music Award. He integrated 24 units of EPV762MHs in his setup. Video operator Stefan Flören was responsible for the programming and operation of the ELATION LED video moving heads, he has been doing TV productions and important events in Germany for years.

Next to “traditional” moving lights, the moving LED video panel by ELATION offers completely new options for stage- and light design and constitutes a new, so far undiscovered and autonomous category of moving pictures in real time and space. The ELATION EPV762MH LED video panel is especially interesting for users on the lookout for innovative technologies. The completely new and unique appliance gives light- and stage designers’ new possibilities for creating scenic effects and designs unknown so far. We are already looking forward to seeing exciting new shows by light- and stage designers.
