As everybody knows, it is very difficult to measure creativity objectively. And exactly for this reason, the yearly granted ILDA Awards enjoy international reputation as they are awarded among competing companies within the umbrella organization of the laser show industry (ILDA - International Laser Display Association).

This year as well as during the last years, the southern-Germany based laser expert LOBO could defend again its unchallenged position as Number 1 in show laser design by receiving most of the prizes. Although LOBO has joined the ILDA just 8 years ago, it has already been honored by record-breaking 57 ILDA Awards.

Over a long period of time, laser shows and thus also the ILDA Awards have been dominated by American companies. In the meantime LOBO has successfully achieved to establish an independent European style in laser show design.

Art-Director Alexander Hennig: "In most companies laser shows are produced by just one or two persons. In the LOBO Studios the workflow and the logistics of a show are more like a movie production. From musicians, illustrators, digitizers, 3D-animators to beam show programmers, it is substantial to synchronize and bundle synergetically the various competences to finish a production at the given deadline in accordance to the storyboard. It took for example 18 persons over a period of more than two months, to implement the graphics show "7 Wonders", being awarded by ILDA as best graphics show of the year. Another unique feature of working at LOBO's is the fact, that the creative brains and the developers of the systems co-operate under one roof. Under the continuous interplay between design and technology, we can develop new ideas, concepts and effects never been seen before."

Beside its aesthetic quality, the show "7 Wonders" impresses also by its technical finesse thanks to the smart combination of progressive production methods. Most parts of the show consists of 3D-animations and elaborate hand-drawn cell-animated passages which have been directly programmed on LOBO's flagship LACON-5®. Only few parts were produced on common 3D-animation programs for PCs which can generate classic vector-oriented laser animations thanks to the PC-based software tool LFC available to LACON clients free of charge.

The jury also awarded the animation show "MENTOPOLIS®" which might be familiar to many visitors of the LOBO fair booth at many major light and sound exhibitions all over the world. The show has been made for LOBO's new TriDome® projection technology which allows full-dome projections of laser shows in planetariums at an unsurpassed level of quality and accuracy. The show consists of a combination of 3D-laser animations with video elements displayed with the same laser scanners by means of Scanline® Laser Video projection.

Furthermore, the corresponding beam show "Cosmonautica" has been honored with a first prize for its exceptional combination of 3-dimensional beam effects and abstract projection effects.

With "Retrospective" and "Freedom", two laser shows of LOBO's Software Contract are among the winners. This service to LOBO clients includes the monthly delivery of beam shows at a favorable subscription price. One further award went to last year's Halloween show presented in the Europapark Rust, based on sophisticated Water Screen® projections and powerful beam arrangements.

A very special position among the awarded shows takes the QUEEN-Show "Heaven", presented in the Amazeum in Munich. This planetarium laser show, initiated by Markus Steblei in close co-operation with Brian May, turns Munich to a Mecca for QUEEN fans from all over the world and presently breaks all record attendances.
