Testimonials Matt FinkeLOOP LIGHT / CEOGermany

Paul Collisoneleven DESIGN / Managing Director Australia

“To me and my team this perfect technical instrument allows us to realize ideas in the most effective way. With great flexibility and no technical boundaries, in the best quality possible and with extreme reliability. All this helps us to turn our big picture ideas into a beauti-ful reality. In the end, it`s still the people, humans and their passion and ideas for creating, innovating and touching others deeply. If the tools are cool(ux), they can even inspire you to create something even beyond your own and your clients’ expectations.”

“Pandoras Box has changed my professional life. As a lighting desi-gner, I had dabbled in video but had never treated it seriously, nor was I taken seriously. Once I was introduced to the coolux range and understood the capabilities of the systems and software, it changed my approach to production design. It also changed the way I saw modern stage productions. No longer did video need to be a separa-te element. I could then envision a stage design with all the luminous elements and provide a serious video solution. The ability to lock to, or generate time code makes my video content all the more pow-er-ful on broadcast work. The tools made available from coolux have given this old dog many new tricks, and they seem to keep coming.”

Danny WhetstoneDWP Live / CEOUSA
