Entertainment Resource offers product and service solutions for customers and its 4D effect and 4D motion theatre attractions are built according to the clients’ requirements. Based on many years of experience, the company develops highly customised products and provide solutions at all stages of the project – from the technical designing phase to the planning and installation at the venue. Its experience in all different parts of the theatre building process guarantees the best possible system integration.
The design phase is one of the most important steps. Based on the client’s requirements, Entertainment Resource defines the building blocks for the new attraction. During this phase its team starts a creative brainstorming phase, taking the client’s ideas and preferences, the team’s suggestions and the given parameters of the environment. The team then begins working on an empty room principle where they start to plan and design the facility.
In a so-called ‘pre-visualisation process’ the team then plays with several building blocks to find the best solution for the client’s seat structures or motion system placements, rigging and gantry elements, audio, projection and show control systems. Based on the client’s preferences the team then designs the theatre layout with or without in-theatre effects in order to provide the potential outlook of the venue.
After all items have been defined, Entertainment Resource starts with the planning phase. Here, all the
designs are put into real world drawings. Several elements are taken into consideration such as electrical and power needs, or the infrastructure of the venue. After a careful selection of elements, customised to the requirements, the team starts the pre-building process of the venue. All elements find their exact place and the base is then set for the construction and installation phase.
The last phase of the work consists of the installation, programming and system integration. The experienced team of engineers and technicians ensure the successful completion of the project during the pre- building process of the customised elements, as well as during the on-site installation. During programming, the team handles the careful adjustments of the software and hardware – orchestrating the timing, door-control, acoustics, video and audio systems. At the end of the project the on-site customer staff are then instructed and trained on the use and maintenance of the attractions.
