Arts director Anthony Cartlidge explained: "We really wanted to make the viewers realize that although they were tuning in to the same channel and the same time slot, OK!TV is very different from This Morning. We have a 'bar' area where presenters and guests can sit and chat casually, a soft seating area, a performance space and a fashion runway which is built using LiteStructures ChromaDeck."
ChromaDeck combines the strength of LiteDeck and the transparency of polycarbonate with the brilliance of LEDs to provide versatile lightlfloors. Already a hit with the club and disco market, ChromaDeck is perfect for television sets, offering a limitless range of colours. It can be programmed to run for hours without supervision, but can also be controlled manually and gives the option of creating any combination of light sequences or simply illuminating the ground beneath your feet in a static pattern. Like all LiteStructures products, ChromaDeck is also available to rent as well - a big bonus for set designers like Cartlidge. He explains: "When you're designing studio spaces, working to and keeping within a budget is vital. I first saw ChromaDeck in Pulsar's catalogue and was put in touch with LiteStructures as the rental company. We've hired 24 units, which enabled us to achieve the perfect look without breaking the bank. Not only is this a great product for TV sets - I think that, being available as a rental product, we'll be seeing a lot more of ChromaDeck on our screens in the near future."
