secret agent world 007 comes to life with AV Stumpfl display technology

The exhibition 007 Elements presents a series of immersive and interactive galleries, where the production secrets behind the films of the famous English agent are revealed. Among the AV elements that have been installed are different Fullwhite screens from AV Stumpfl.

007 Elements is an installation dedicated to the world of British secret agent James Bond. Although it focuses on the movie Spectre (2015), which was filmed in Sölden, It also refers to the rest of the titles in the series.

The exhibition, that offers the visitor an interactive and immersive experience, It is built on the top of the Gaislachkogl mountain in a structure, made to measure, of 1.200 square meters, a 3.040 meters above sea level.

007 Elements is the result of a partnership between EON Productions, Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) y Sölden mountain railways. Made through the collaborative efforts of creative director Neal Callow (Art Director at Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall y Spectre ), Optimist design chief Tino Schaedler and architect Johann Obermoser.

The building, designed and created by Obermoser Architects, presents a series of immersive and interactive galleries where the production secrets behind the films of the famous English agent are revealed.

El integrador austriaco Kraftwerk Living Technologies (KLT) has been responsible for carrying out the technical part of the project, both the AV equipment and the control systems and the creative programming of the shows.

KLT worked closely with BY Stumpfl to ensure that the visual content corresponded to the projection settings.

AV Stumpfl Fullwhite screens are used throughout the exhibition. A visualization infrastructure made up of a 400 model×225 cm, two of 500×281 cm, six 337 curved screens×187 cm and one of 560x238cm.

The Fullwhite screen is borderless and eliminates any impression of depth, which means that all the visitor's attention is focused on the images that are projected. This is a solution that allows for a wide variety of mounting configurations and allows multiple devices to be connected.. A custom solution can also be designed since it is a modular system that adjusts to any format by adding or eliminating complementary elements..

KLT chose the projectors Epson for installation with 9 EB-L1300U + UST lenses and an EB-L1505U. The original Bond footage along with content that was shot specifically for 007 Elements were produced to fit custom sized screens.

Due to weather conditions associated with working in a mountain environment, most of the equipment had to be transported via cable car, and some were even transported by helicopter.

“The most challenging aspect of this job was the temperature. The building is stabilized at 5ºC or less, so as not to affect the permafrost. To fulfill this, we build tents with heating inside to apply the screen surface to the frames, while all projectors are housed in custom-designed heated enclosures.”, comments Michael Cap, KLT project manager.
