Pélerinage Militaire International was born of peace and hope. In 1945, with the horrors of the just-ended Second World War still scaring the landscape, Mgr Jules Saliège, the Archbishop of Toulouse, created the idea of having a gathering of wounded military personnel in Lourdes, one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the Roman Catholic faith. The concept quickly blossomed and within three years, soldiers from many nations, often former enemies, were coming together at the annual event to worship and heal wounds.Read More »Videlio Expands Looks for LOURDES Basilica of Saint Pius X With CHAUVET Professional

Matt Steinbrenner, Production Designer for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, shared some insights on the interesting visual twist to MTV’s iconic Moon Person helmet on stage at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Sept. 12, and as it turns out, the core idea wasn’t as much about sight as it was about sound. “The idea that I came up with was, ‘Okay, let’s take this helmet and imagine that sound waves could be so intense that they would etch into and carve out a new image on the surfaces of the Moon Person.’ That’s what really brought about all the horizontal striations that wrapped around the form and sliced through it in a kind of interesting way. Then that gave us the chance on the visor, which was all mirrored in chrome, to create banding that had open space in between.”
