Creative Technology (CT) has been involved in setting the scene for the striking backdrop to the show. Alongside the creative talent of Julian Healy, the production designer on the series, CT had a set and light period of only three days, in which time over 150sq.m of LED screens as backdrops and floor covering were rigged.
With the main set screen comprising of 30sq.m of Chromatek Black Faced 6mm LED screen, the fragmented Flyer 18mm banner screens, positioned either side of the main screen, enable the show movement and fluidity of scene changes. Beneath the artists' feet is a further 30sq.m of Flyer 12mm display, all of which provides a seamless flow of graphics and media content to enhance and intensify the overall look of the stunning set design. CT also supplied 550m of Video Flex, used to edge the set and to create further movement between the talent and judging areas.
CT's German operation has provided an equally comprehensive range of AV equipment for The Voice's German franchise, which was launched in November last year - 44sq.m of Hibino Blackface alongside 150sq.m of Spider 30 was used for the main screens in addition to 1200 Barco MiStrips in both the roof and the floor with a further 980m of Schnick Schnack LED strips.
Seven Green Hippo media servers and two full-size GrandMA consoles provided the graphics and lighting control. CT will be on hand once again for The Voice Germany when it begins its second series in June.
