ECT Projection Screen for <I>Blue Planet Live!</I>

UK - Three exciting performances took place in December in arena settings in Manchester, Newcastle and Nottingham. A selection of the most captivating scenes from The Blue Planet programme were projected on an immense custom made ECT projection screen. At 16m x 8m, it was one of the largest screens ever used in the country. ECT designed and manufactured strong very lightweight truss sections in a aluminium finish for the frame. The front projection screen material had webbed black border with eyelets which allowed easy dismantling and erection.

Howard Raynor, promoter for the show said: "The screen did its job magnificently presenting these breathtaking BBC pictures to over 14,000 people in Arenas in Manchester, Newcastle and Nottingham. The Blue Planet Live! has been attracting great reviews in all three cities."

The show was conducted by award-winning composer George Fenton, who has won BAFTA, Emmy and Ivor Novello awards for his score for the original series. He also composed the music to the BBC Planet Earth series.
