Greczula on stage

• 2 engines and a stand for artistic flying.
• Grid podium with chrome front tip. Built-in swing stand.
• Chrome microphone.
• Camera: Sony FR7 (standing at the front tip of the podium).
• Lights: 15 Acme Pulsar S2 in the podium.
• Smoke.
• Pyrotechnics: 8 aerosol flames and 61 effects in the form of jets, airbursts and mines.

Okay so Greczula has a really good chance to be “DIREKT TILL FINALEN” because the vocals were on points, the visuals are so good, the camera angles as you can expect from SVT, and even the song is good, not at the same level as Believe me but it’s not bad. We had a good start today 🙂

• 2 swirl fans with snow.

Okay maybe the vocals weren’t the best, but the moment itself looks so nice. I love this, maybe 3rd place or DTF?? We will see 🙂
