"Why don't we make a robot?"
Cyril Laurier
Ferris wheel light and LED control system software
MGNTRN is a immersive experience in which a ferris wheel, projection screens, and 10-meter LED strips are synchronized in a massive light and sound performance. It was showcased in at the PROYECTA music festival in Mexico D.F in 2014.
We worked with Romain Tardy to control the lights and LEDs. We created a software to previsualize, animate and control all of them from a unique timeline. We also had to design and build a robot that turns the ferris wheel control knobs based on music events.
We wrote a software to control and synchronize every light of the show from the same timeline. Go to >ledotron page for more details.
Here is a demo of the little robot that controlled the wheel light panel. Here, we control it with an iPad. It is typically controlled by our Ledotron software to synchronize the movement with the timeline.
