WI Creations celebrates 10th anniversary

Entertainment engineering specialist WI Creations celebrated its 10th birthday over one weekend with a party for its fans, friends, clients and acquaintances in home town Heist-op-den-Berg, Belgium. The company was founded by Hans Willems in 2006; today it has 14 full time staff all with multi-disciplinary knowledge, a team of project managers, an R‘n’D department, and an international portfolio of clients.

 

WI Creations kicked off its first year of trading designing stage and movement elements for Holiday On Ice’s ‘Mystery’ show, the Asian Games in Doha, Bon Jovi, U2’s ‘Vertigo’ tour and Belgian rockers Clouseau. Highlights from the last ten years included devising the movement and control for a video constructed from 384 panels of Lighthouse R16 that tracked 110 metres along platform 9 of St Pancreas station in London for the launch of High Speed One (HS1), splitting into eight sections and various other configurations during the show. 

 

Another was engineering the supporting grid for U2’s ‘360’ tour’s video screen in 2009; then the company’s expertise was harnessed to wirelessly slide a seating tribune - complete with 2000 audience - 90 metres back and forth throughout the 14-18 Spektakel in Mechelen in 2014, as well as eleven scenery wagons which moved on, off and around the performance area. WI’s work has embraced all sectors - from festivals, events and concert touring to theatre productions, art installations, sporting events (including London 2012 and the flying carpet for the 2015 European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan), fashion shows, corporate and industrial launches and product experientials.
