E/T/C Paris To Project At 2008 Bordeaux Wine Festival

Large format projection specialists E/T/C Paris will supply their video expertise to create 200 metre wide seamless video images on the stunning 18th century Place de la Bourse as the highlight of the 10th Bordeaux Wine Festival.
E/T/C will utilise its dynamic multimedia production and display control platform, OnlyView with 4 Christie Roadie 25K and 3 Christie Roadster S+20 projectors to achieve spectacular results.
Covering an area of approximately 4,000 square metres, the high definition video will be in excess of 12 million pixels, a resolution six times greater than that of professional HD digital video.
The show, entitled 'Hommages' is a collaboration between E/T/C, video designers and producers Cosmo AV and audio experts Les Ateliers Lumiere. The imagery for 'Hommages' will be produced by Jacques Nougaret, Pierre-Yves Toulot and Jose Christiani from Cosmo AV.
These three companies are all leaders in their respective fields and have extensive experience in large scale public events. They were awarded the contract to create and realise the show following a public tender issued by the Bordeaux Tourism and Events Office.
The 25-minute son et lumiere, complete with special soundtrack, will close each of the last three evenings of the famous bi-annual Wine Festival (June 27-29).
It pays tribute to the historical and cultural significance of Bordeaux's global reputation as one of the finest wine producing regions in the world, and backs the City's bid to be European Capital of Culture in 2013.
