Nocturne a Smash at Super Bowl XLI BashNocturne Video returned to continue supporting Super Bowl celebrations this year, supplying video enhancement for both VH1's Pepsi Smash concert and the NFL's exclusive VIP party at Bayfront Park in Miami. Broadcast nationally on VH1, the 2007 Super Bowl Pepsi Smash concert event featured performances by Kanye West, Fergie, John Legend, and Ludacris, who rocked the house from the specially constructed concert venue just outside Dolphins Stadium. Two 14' x 21' Nocturne V9 HD LED screens flanked the stage for the performance, giving football and music fans crystal clear close-ups of their favorite performers. On the Bayfront Park site, the Lombardi Trophy, as well as both NFC and AFC championship trophies acted as the centerpiece while NFL VIPs celebrated America's biggest game in style. The elaborate production design for both venues was realized by Spike Brandt of Artfag, LLC. The evening's festivities were hosted by Pro Bowl running back Jamal Anderson and featured inspired performances by New Edition, REO Speedwagon, and an energetic set from 80s rockers Blondie. An outstanding fireworks and laser display over beautiful Biscayne Bay exhibited the city of Miami's pride in hosting the big game. Using a mix of live cameras from one of Nocturne's state-of-the-art HD camera systems, five Barco FLM R20+ projectors lit the entire stage and nearby palm trees, showing both live concert action and football highlights from the season. Projectionist Mike Sienkewitz said, "I've never been an agricultural projectionist before. This is cool."
