CPL Supplies Upside Down Video

CPLs Project Managers Nick Diacre and Jimmy Smith worked closely with producer upside-down production design concept which had a great impact on guests!

Over 1000 guests joined the celebrations, many in full fancy dress, entering the main space to be greeted by a front room sofas, TV, coffee tables, etc. hung from the ceiling of the venue, complete with aerial performers relaxing and watching TV.

The TV was a 32 inch LED screen from CPL, clad with a scenic border to resemble a classic 1970s retro TV playing a montage of popular programmes with the soundtrack running through the PA.

The room featured two projected windows - also upside down and complete with curtains. They were fed with two Panasonic 10K projectors which were mapped and masked so the images appeared properly behind the curtains and pelmets.

Video engineer Mike Court managed the installation and networking of the projection system, resulting in a complete system that could be controlled from within the media server.

The trickiest technical aspect of the job for video was lining up the two projectors for the house windows, which were mounted on the same truss that was supporting all the room furniture and props - and also for some of the time - the aerial performers!

The screen at the back of the stage was used in the standard manner for an awards section of the show followed by a live band for which theme-related graphics were supplied by the client.

The rigging and performer flying elements were co-ordinated by Liam Beech who has a lot of experience working with circuses, and they took full advantage of the reasonable headroom available at Motion, an ex-warehouse space thats now a popular West country club destination.
