The event's technical production was designed by Sounds Commercial's head of production design, Matt Willsteed. The company, headquartered in Bristol, owns a large amount of equipment and rents in specialist elements as required for specific projects.
For one, Willsteed explains, the requirement was for a very high definition screen at the back of the stage to project a variety of content and IMAG images.
The newly delivered S+H product came on-stream just at the right time for them to be able to replace the projection system used on previous events for this client.
Part of the design concept and theming was Festival of Colours which ideally lent itself to an LED screen which could be used as a large and very colourful lightsource as well as to display detailed images and crisp graphics.
He also chose the Glux 3.9 mm because it is very light weight, which enabled them to fly a 5.5m wide by 3m high screen on a Milos ground support roof system flown in under the venue's in house trusses for the event.
S+H Technical's MD Terry Murtha comments, "We only took delivery of the first 100sq.m of the new Glux in January, since when it's been constantly busy on this and other jobs ... and everyone seems to be really happy! It's our policy at S+H to keep at the forefront of new, innovative and specialist products and we will be expanding our stocks of 3.9mm LED in the very near future."
