Al Nabooda, the leading Audi distributor in the Middle East, launched the latest top of the range SUV from Audi: the Q7. The event was attended by over a thousand invited guests, including several local VIPs. The set consisted of, among others, eight hydraulic scissor lifts, four of which lifted two cars through the stage, with the other four featuring UK based pyrotechnic performers from Phoenix Productions. Eight cars were flown in from the roof of the venue, as part of the reveal, from state of the art motor control systems.
Lighting Designer Paul Smith, a freelancer based in Dubai, specified his preferred lighting instruments: 30 Clay Paky Alpha Spot HPE 575W, 46 Clay Paky Alpha Wash 575W, 28 Clay Paky Stage Colour 1200W, 22 Clay Paky Stage Zoom 1200W, 20 3k Strobes, 96 Par cans and 90 2500W City Colours, which were used to light up the 100m wide satin back drapes.
Protec once again delivered another highly successful turnkey event in the region, thanks to its vast stocks of lighting, audio, video and rigging equipment and highly experienced team, led by Stephen Lakin.
