Content: The stage set; lighting; sound; audio-visual production, including twin camera CCTV, with live feed, switcher and direction were all produced by Marvelus Productions
Background: The event was briefed to us 2 weeks in advance; build began the evening before, with rehearsals from 2pm on the day of the event; live production from 7.30pm; wrap at 1am and then complete derig by 4am. Access for build restricted to fire escape.
The Look and Feel: Incorporated the “journey” through the hotel, from the point of arrival features, with classically understated uplighting to the columns across the front of the hotel; gobo logo projection on to the floor of the reception area; beautifully lit room, in corporate event colours, to create mood and ambience and large logo monitors on the lectern.
The Reaction: The event was received to critical acclaim by client; guests and presenters alike. We are now in discussion with them about their next event.
