As degrees conferred and academic caps tossed in the air, a feeling of accomplishment exhilarated through the atmosphere from both the graduating students and organisers of the magnificent event that let the students shine in splendour and glory.
Take a moment to bask in the sunshine a fantastically organised production team for executing a fantastic event.
Before we begin celebrating the day; lets take a step back in time and watch the race unfurl, the countdown began 15hours before doors could open, a round the clock build for the production team was mandate, with a load-in permitted only at 02:30am that very morning and doors open later that day at 17:00hrs!
Every team member knew we had to make every minute count. Everyone aligned themselves to work with the precision of an assembly team, the prior was dependable and the next tagged, calculation on all aspect was crucial to get everything done right.
Within moments the rigging team had the truss which formed the spine of the production built and hovered mid air, Claypaky movers and W8LM line array speakers were suspended along with a 12mt x 4mt custom screen floated off the truss two 20k Panasonic projectors created the blend.
On the ground, a team began to assemble ABSEN 3.9mm 12mt x 2mt LED wall, that lay just centimeters off from the screen above, meticulously it all began to come together and form shape, slightly off the main screen were 6 huge 3.9mm LED banners suspended that would play a big part for our digital content team.
It was time for the staging team to take the stage themselves. With this being amongst the end of season shows staging team took it upon themselves to showcase strength with a 12mt x 4mt custom stage, that had 8mt long step inset with LED strip lights I think the Staging team quite put themselves in the limelight. Digital content department began working with the client much a head of time coming up with endless storyboards, animation, revisions and final renders now it was time to see Pandora Quad Mapper regulate content over all aspects of media projection screen, led wall, LED Banners.
Thought it was a very difficult production schedule everybody worked with a purpose of creating a flawless event. I thank the Project Manager to streamlined and planned a well orchestrated schedule, operations, warehouse team complied with every technical requirement, all in all it was it was a race against time… and teamwork won!
