World Snowboarding Championships 2012 (Oslo, NOR)

This week, the first ever Word Snowboarding Championships organised by the TTR are taking place in Oslo, Norway. dbnetsoft is hired by Hego as in the previous years already for the Arctic Challenge, one of the rare 6-star events. This year we are again responsible for several live HD tv graphics and the judging/scoring system. Norwegian broadcaster NRK created a completely new and never-seen-before tv graphic experience, including a cool comic-book look, hardware challenging 3D live video effets and matching sound effects. The implementation took us some time, but the final result looks amazing. A webcast can be seen here at the official WSC website.For preparation and pre-qualification I was onsite myself, but now I am heading over to Are for the third stop of the Red Bull Crashed Ice. The guys from Hego will be producing here in oslo for the rest of the week without me.

Snowboaders do not like official ceremonies, but instead they organize parties everyday and even concerts as the opening ceremony - headliner was a Norwegian band called Turbonegro and one of their biggest fans is portraied on this image Judges bunker: Judges do not have a free view onto the obstacle or pipe, but instead  only watching television pictures and judge from them The endless battle between snowboarder and FIS - better to say snowboarders against FIS Inside the OB van Holmenkollen ski-jumping stadium will host Friday's Quarterpipe contest
