Capture Supports AMPCO Flashlight at Eurovision 2021 "Using Capture 2021 is almost like seeing the visuals in real life," is Eurovision lighting designer Henk-Jan van Beek's assessment of the Swedish manufacturer's pre-visualisation software system. No stranger to the Eurovision event, having been part of the 2005 programming, Capture Visualisation was proud to be part of this year's show at Rotterdam's Ahoy Arena. Always an extravagant feast of lights, video, and FX, Eurovision 2021 has been chosen as one of Europe's pilot events for COVID safe live events, making one of the most eagerly anticipated Eurovision shows of all time. Since 1994, Capture Visualisation has been developing and evolving the software in the pre-programming sector and now seen as one of the premier brands in this increasingly busy sector of the entertainment market. "It is an honor to be the preferred solution for this premier European event, and it feels even greater that we are part of this first major post-pandemic event," comments sales director, Vangelis Manolis. "It signals that there may be light at the end of this long and dark tunnel. We have seen so many renders of the stage set and the awesome lighting design of Henk-Jan van Beek with his team from Light-H-Art that it feels as if we have been there at the Ahoy ourselves." The Capture team worked tirelessly with the entire team of visual creatives and Eurovision's technical supplier AMPCO Flashlight throughout the extensive programming required to create 39 performances and interval moments of the semi-finals and then the grand final on May 22. "Using our software, multi-cam director Marnix Kaart and Henk-Jan van Beek have been able to effectively create the dynamic looks and visual elements that Eurovision is famous for, saving valuable production time and budget. Watching the incredible live show, we have been able to see how well Capture renders have translated into such a dynamic reality."
