Designed by Peter Bingemann, the Awards set used video screens and lighting for all the visual elements, with the video content provided by specialists Hello Charlie.
PRG Europe supplied 56 G-LEC ClassicFrames covering some 112m2 with five linked graphics computers. Configured as eight columns of seven panels each, four columns of G-LEC were used as static elements, while the other four were mounted on tab tracks, moving the lightweight screens across the stage as required.
Lighting designer Al Gurdon used a large lighting rig provided by PRG Europe, which included 48 VL5 and 40 VL3000 washes, 32 VL6C and 10 VL1000 spots, 12 Mac 2000s, 12 CityColor 1800, 12 four cell 1000W groundrows, eight follow spots, a Virtuoso control console and all mains distro, cable, dimmers and control.
"Although we had a very tight schedule, everything went very smoothly," said PRG Europe's Mick Healey. "Obviously everything was thoroughly planned and prepped in advance, and that kind of detailed preparation always pays off."
