The LED screen design set an epic tone, with two large portrait orientated slabs of Roe 5mm CB5 each measuring 7.2 by 9.6 metres upstage, and six different sized flown video cubes measuring 3.6, 2.4 and 1.8 metres respectively strategically positioned and flown. In total there were over 120 points of rigging on the project.
All screens were driven by Brompton SX 40 processors over fibre with full redundancy.
The stage featured a 12 metre long 5 ft high runway emanating at the front, ramped on the audience end enabling award winners to access the stage.
Behind and between the two main screens was a printed mesh Airtex event banner which was backlit with Robe Pointe moving lights for extra impact and to add depth. This was also part of a central walkway onto / off stage, which could help funnel the award winners – sometimes as many as a couple of hundred people simultaneously – into the correct positions onstage to get the optimal wide IMAG camera shots from cameras at the back.
