S+H Gets The Cuban Fury

The sizzling live dance action at the heart of the newly released British movie Cuban Fury directed by James Griffiths and starring Nick Frost was given additional visual dynamics by S+H Technical Support's Video Floor product.

Thirty-six panels of the Video Floor were delivered and installed as a dancefloor surface at north London venue Koko by S+H for production company Awesome Effects.

Says S+H's Terry Murtha, "It's fantastic that our product was chosen for its part in the film ... it's great to have a bit of glamour in the house! The floor did a great job in adding excitement and bringing a whole new layer of depth to the filming."

The Video Floor, which is manufactured specifically for the Devon, UK based drapes, starcloth, LED, and visual effects specialist has been designed as a dedicated floor product. It can be fed with video content from a selection of sources--in this case it was via a laptop.

The frames are constructed from aluminium alloy and the fascias from rugged rosin plastic. Each tile has a weight loading of 500kgs and which will endure the dynamic loading of people bouncing, jumping, and dancing all over it, the company says.

The Video floor uses 3-in-1 SMD LEDs, has a pitch of 32mm and utilizes dot-correction technology to produce consistent color and luminosity. Other features include quick and straightforward assembly and an IP65 rating.

The video floor has also been used on several editions of popular TV show The Cube where it made up the floor of the cube itself.

S+H also supplied their RGB Chameleon starcloth for filming parts of The Harry Hill Movie which premiered at the end of last year.
