FogScreen at Eurovision 2007 Finals

FogScreen projection screen stood center stage with Lordi when the two opened the Eurovision 2007 Finals in live broadcast to viewers across Europe.

The show opened to atmospheric effects projected onto the FogScreen projection screen, followed by a visual narrative of northern Finland before returning to the live broadcast with Lordi onstage, playing their winning song from Eurovision 2006, ‘Hard Rock Hallelujah.’

‘When we first began planning for Eurovision in Helsinki, one of the first products we brought into discussions was FogScreen projection screen. Production Manager Ola Melzig had already earlier been interested to bring FogScreen projection screen in to the show.

But this year we did, I mean, how can you do a Eurovision in Finland without a FogScreen projection screen? It is, after all, a Finnish product!,’ said Mikki Kunttu, Lighting Designer, Eurovision Song Contest 2007, and addsed: ‘Finland's host broadcaster YLE loved the idea and we called in FogScreen personnel to find the best way to use the product during the show. It was decided that the opening of the Finals with Lordi was absolutely perfect. We used the FogScreen projection screen to show visual effects that the camera could actually float right through. It looked absolutely fantastic.
