I'm not sure if this topic belongs in here, it's about the Voyage show in London, but I haven't found anything more appropriate either.
We were in London. Especially because of the ABBA spectacle. Yes, it was great, a great show.
But in my opinion, it has nothing to do with what it is being sold to us as.
We had "good seats" and my first impression was, these are not holograms, these are normal people.
I then looked at the show more "engineering-wise" and my conclusion is: clearly not holograms, but a very "normal" ABBA revival band.
At one song there were holograms, but they were recognized as such. Unfortunately, I couldn't talk to anyone, maybe there is someone here who can refute or confirm my point of view. Here, summarized, my main points of criticism, from a physical point of view:
Holograms:
- do not cast shadows
- are not able to completely darken point sources behind them
- do not reflect / need spotlights to illuminate themselves
- do not need a completely darkened room to "disappear" from the stage
- do not need time to change clothes
- wouldn't wear the same clothes for two songs in a row, just because there was no time to "change"
- don't have to be careful not to stand at the same place at the same time or not to run around each other
- need a reflection surface somehow (fog, semi-permeable screen...)
- don't have to sink into the stage floor but could effectively "dissolve" into whatever and thus disappear
- Frieda has very neat teeth as a young woman, Fake-Frieda on the other hand has massive misalignments
- my photos with high resolution and very short exposure time should show multiplex fragments, but are a homogeneous picture
I would be happy if someone would write that I am wrong.
