The company was contracted by Thomas Thomas Films and travelled to a freezing cold Prague for the location shoot. The brief was to project specially filmed video onto buildings surrounding the custom-built set. During the three nights of filming Stage Electrics carried out nine separate moves, projecting images up to 14m wide onto the buildings around Loretta Square.
Following a site visit to the location and subsequent tests at Pinewood Studios Greg Hughes, Video Department Manager from Stage Electrics chose to utilise the features of the Sanyo PLCXF46 12000 for the smaller projection area and a Christie Roadie 250,000 lumen projector for the larger area.
Hughes said: "The PLCXF46 is the latest addition to our video projector hire stock and was ideal for the quick moves that we had to do on location. We also talked to The Picture Works and used their Christie Roadie 250,000, thanks also to the expertise of Robin Weallans from The Picture Works on site in Prague." Playback was via 2 Sony J3s from the supplier Digibeta.
