Problem:
The EHF Champions League Final4 is the pinnacle event in the European handball world. Event organizers are expected to deliver a pre-game show that meets the highest standards, as the leadership of the league, the top teams, and fans from all around Europe are represented each year. Creating a memorable and impressive spectacle is essential.
Solution:
The Final4 organizers turned to the ChantBlaster team to illuminate the arena stands during the pre-game show before the final game. With 18,000 spectators flocking to the Final4 Arena, the organizers needed a solution capable of handling this large crowd. The lighting team had a strong vision for involving the audience’s mobile screens to augment the arena’s lighting gear. They provided the expected colors and effects, frame-by-frame, with their respective timecodes.
Outcome:
The ChantBlaster team created the first versions of the expected light shows within 24 hours. After testing these initial versions, another day was needed to iron out and finalize the light shows. The app was heavily promoted on the Cube during the two-day event. Spectators especially appreciated the “shaky-shaky” light show, an Easter egg feature allowing fans to start a quick stroboscope light show by simply shaking their mobiles. The mobile light show perfectly followed the beat of Katy Perry’s “Rise” during the pre-game show, creating an electrifying atmosphere.
ChantBlaster’s involvement elevated the EHF Champions League Final4 pre-game show to new heights, impressing both the audience and the league’s leadership. The innovative use of mobile screens added a dynamic layer to the visual experience, ensuring the event was unforgettable.
