YOU HAVE THE IDEA. WE TRANSFER IT TO THRILLING FOOTAGE.
Whether show, fiction, sports, music, documentaries or event: Cape Cross realises almost daily ambitious TV and new-media-projects of all kinds. Our customers especially value our experience and know-how – therefore we usually are consulted in an early phase of the planning process. After more than ten years and a broad variety of projects we know how an idea is transferred to a successful production.
THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF LIGHT.
Every project is unique. That is why we develop a unique solution for every project
to achieve an optimal light design. Film and television production is a highly complex business. Every task has to be perfectly coordinated down to the smallest detail within tight deadlines – just in time. But those in the industry also know: Things don't always go as planned.
This is why professionalism above all also means: The ability to respond at lightning speed to every new situation. In a targeted, unbureaucratic way. To achieve this, you need to rely on flexible specialists – with solid ideas – as well as perfect timing and the right know-how.
HIGH-END-EQUIPMENT. THE RIGHT TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERY PROJECT.
Each successful project start with the right equipment. We counsel our customer from the beginning, how their creative ideas can be transferred technically. Our flexibility, experience and our extensive storage department for high-end-equipment enables us to always find the right technical solution, for every purpose.
THE CAPE CROSS QUALITY ASSURANCE

On our premises you can use the newest generation of SD and HD editing suites - all from the one source and at a single location. And of course a skilled team bursting with enthusiasm and equipped with the know-how you need.
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2011.
Cape Cross - douze points!
As was the case for the semi-final events, the perfect staging of the final on 14 May was praised by all. "The audience was treated to an excellent show, especially visually." (Spiegel Online, 15 May 2011). Indeed, the overall reaction to the show: undiluted enthusiasm. What a huge stage, and what amazing effects on and by the gigantic LED wall! There was also repeated praise from the jury presidents of the participating countries for the show and its moderators. Safura from Azerbaijan sang: "Thanks for the wonderful show!"
"A raging success for Düsseldorf -and for Germany!" (Express, 15 May 2011). "The greatest TV show ever produced on German television treated viewers to a long-distance cinematic experience: The marvellous stage, the gigantic, brilliantly-coloured 60 x 18-metre screen, the playfully imaginative film shorts and the untypically German gags - everything worked just perfectly." (Stern Online, 15 May 2011).









13,83 Millionen Zuschauer in Deutschland haben am 14. Mai im Ersten das Finale des Eurovision Song Contests 2011 (ESC) live aus der Arena in Düsseldorf verfolgt. Der Marktanteil der Show, die die ARD unter Federführung des NDR ausrichtete, lag bei 49,3 Prozent, zwei Prozentpunkte mehr als im vergangenen Jahr. NDRIntendant Lutz Marmor: "Das war eine exzellente Show. Das Wagnis, eine Fußball-Arena in ein gigantisches Fernsehstudio mit Zehntausenden von Zuschauern zu verwandeln, ist belohnt worden." Europaweit sollen mehr als 120 Millionen Fernsehzuschauer den Sieg des Beitrags von Ell und Nikki aus Aserbaidschan verfolgt haben. Los ging die Show mit einem grandiosen Show-Opening von Stefan Raab, der nach der Anmoderation auf einer Rundbühne im Publikum über einen Catwalk auf die Hauptbühne rannte und dort erst mit einer Band und später mit einem Orchester inklusive einem Auftritt der Vorjahressiegerin Lena performte.

Als Redaktion, die in Köln beheimatet ist, fällt die Formulierung der o. a. Headline zwar schwer, aber Halbfinale und das Grand Finale des Eurovision Song Contest 2011 haben technische Spitzenklasse bewiesen - sowohl für die 35.000 Teilnehmer in der umgebauten Esprit-Arena als auch für die ca. 120 Millionen TV-Zuschauer in aller Welt.
