The South Essex Partnership NHS Trust, which provides mental healthcare to its local region, hosted its annual awards show at the Towngate Theatre in Basildon. PSL supplied all production design, sets, lighting and dedicated lighting designer John Montague, sound, vision mixing, a 2-camera DVD shoot plus a confetti cannon for the show finale.
Set designer Oliver Stewart comments: "I have to balance the musical elements with the fact that it is an awards ceremony in a theatrical space, and the design has to work in a multi-tiered theatre."
Video as shown on-stage on two 10ft x 7.5ft rear projection screens, using four Barco ELM projectors, and the material will also be used for a DVD of the event. Richard Jones was in charge of mixing the sound for the show, bringing in PSL's new AKG WMS9000 radio microphone system for the lead performers and speakers.
Mark Solomons concluded: "They don't have to go to six or seven different suppliers for everything from Pixeline LED batons to lavalier microphones, instead PSL is their one-stop shop, integrating the whole production in terms of technology and management."
