Ronnie James Dio will be resurrected as a hologram. A pro shot of his performance captured by a multi-camera will be released. Even so, this was unexpected. Ronnie passed away in May 2010, and DIO DISCIPLES, a group of former DIO members, was launched to "continue singing the masterpieces he created." It is well known that they are still active. They have performed shows with guest singers such as Tim "Ripper" Owens, Mark Boals, and Onny Logan from time to time, but this time it will be different. They have produced a hologram of the late Ronnie James Dio himself and announced the world tour "DIO RETURNS." A performance in Japan is also planned... This tour is scheduled to start at the end of November this year, and the full picture is not yet known. However, "Hologram Ronnie" has already been unveiled. This work is a pro shot of the two performances. This work contains "POLLSTAR AWARDS" on February 2, 2017 and "WACKEN 2016" on August 6, 2016. Each is an official, superb video. Now, let's take a closer look at each video. [POLLSTAR AWARDS on February 2, 2017] First up is the "POLLSTAR AWARDS" in February of this year. So far, only two performances have had holograms released, and this is the second time. "POLLSTAR AWARDS" is an annual music event, and DIO DISCIPLES only played one song, "We Rock". This is the full video. The main pro shot is the angle behind the audience, and the multi-camera specification captures the entire stage while also utilizing the zoom of each member. This is the video that best shows what the scene would be like if the Japan performance were to be realized. And that scene... certainly, Ronnie is there. Those nostalgic actions, that presence, the gesture of holding up the towel with "POLLSTAR AWARDS" written on it and quickly throwing it away... and that singing voice. It's none other than Ronnie Dio. However, there is also something strange about it. The hologram device is installed on the upper level in the center of the stage, and can only be projected there. Unlike the old Ronnie who used the stage freely in all directions, the performance with only a few steps to the left and right seems very cramped. What's more decisive is that he doesn't get involved with the members. Simon Wright said, "It's hard to match the hologram," so he's probably not used to it yet. The more intensely the hologram Ronnie performs, the more I notice the difference between him and the members who just play monotonously. [August 6, 2016 "WACKEN 2016"] Next is a professional shot of "WACKEN 2016", which was the genuine first unveiling. On this day, Ripper and Oni performed seven songs as DIO DISCIPLES, and at the end, "Hologram Ronnie" sang "We Rock". It's nice to see the former steel god Ripper singing DIO's famous songs, "Kill The King" and "Stargazer", but the highlight is Ronnie's hologram. Unfortunately, it's an incomplete version with the beginning cut, but it's great that close-up zoom is used a lot. "POLLSTAR AWARDS" was a mood of the whole stage, but this one lets you get closer and see the hologram. The figure is Ronnie himself, and it's different. Although it doesn't feel "narrow" because of the zoom, this time you can see the translucent transparency. In the dark, you can't feel the mass, and when the image is projected on the background monitor, it slips through your body and is reflected. When the other members are up close, there is a sense of real flesh and blood, so there is a vague "illusion" feeling. It is definitely Ronnie's appearance, action, and singing voice. But he is no longer here. It is because of Ronnie that the video reminds us of reality. The film ends with the monitor showing "SEE YOU 2017". What kind of show will it be when the Japan tour comes to fruition, and what should we expect? This is a pro shot that answers such doubts and anticipates the tour.
