Congratulations To This Year’s WDMX Visionary Award Recipients
Wireless
Solution Sweden AB
honored the recipients of the WDMX Visionary Awards in a ceremony and party
held during LDI 2007 in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, November 17 at
the Wireless Solution booth.
The WDMX Visionary Award
is a special recognition of individuals in the professional lighting industry
who were early adopters of WDMX and had an immediate vision about how it could
be applied to great advantage in their respective production environments.
Valy Tremblay of Proluxon
and Josh Thatcher with the Local 728 in Hollywood were this year’s winners.
Tremblay used WDMX in
Cirque du Soleil's Delirium and
most
recently for a Chantal Chamandy concert in Cairo with the Cairo
Symphony
orchestra at The Pyramids of
Giza.
Of his experience with W-DMX
during Delirium, Tremblay says,
“WDMX is my big
discovery of the year! I just don¹t want to use cable anymore.
It was so
easy to set up and we never had any trouble with them.”
Thatcher was the first to
use WDMX in
a major feature films Spiderman 3, Mission Impossible III, Transformers, and Iron Man.
Thatcher
is a rising star and extremely tech savvy, pushing networking and
wireless
technology into the lighting control of the films made by the major
studios.
The winners were presented
with a special custom-made WDMX GoldBox. The GoldBox, of which only five were
made, was designed to commemorate WDMX BlackBox unit number 10,000 in
production.
