"At the 2015 K-LOVE Fan Awards we really expanded our video components and actually used the LED screens to create a series of presenting and performances spaces," began Moore. "Going into pre-production we knew that the artists would be excited about this therefore we requested they send us their custom content ahead of time. With only two exceptions, every artist had custom video content so our lighting designer Tony Fransen had a lot of work to do integrating the video elements and the end results using the FLEXCurve video screens were phenomenal."
The PixelFLEX FLEXCurve breaks all barriers in the rigid tile category through an innovative dual wing curving LED tile. With an 8mm - 12mm pitch that is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, the FLEXCurve is available to meet the needs of those looking for high definition LED displays while still maintaining the unique flexible characteristics PixelFLEX LED video screens.
Moore explained further, "To break up the Grand Ole Opry stage and provide us with multiple playing areas, the FLEXCurve LED screens had multiple hang positions. We had one large 22.5' x 12.5' playback surface that hung upstage centre. There were two L-shaped walls that split the stage into separate performance areas that each measured 27.5' x 7.5' going stage right to left, and then 17.5' x 7.5' running upstage to downstage. Next, we placed a 27.5' x 5' wall behind both of the two performances spaces; and lastly, we had a 5' x 7.5' wall that acted as a backdrop for the centre stage presenters. With so many custom shapes, we had to have LED screens that could quickly and easily connect together, and that's what we got with the FLEXCurve.
"As we prepared for the production, we invited the artist designers to come in and sit with us in a 3D presentation suite because we would have no time to program onsite," continued Moore. "This process is essential to the overall success of the show and since a lot the artists created content specific to the custom surfaces, we asked AJ Morgan from PixelFLEX to come in and help us out. His skills at mapping video and being able to cue a show with multiple inputs to multiple outputs are phenomenal. When he is around it's a great confidence boost and I'm never concerned because you know the video will be integrated correctly and will look great."
