AXA Insurance Awards

With prize giving for their best achieving salesperson to their tongue in cheek take on the X-Factor, aptly named The AXA Factor, the AXA Awards was a fun and light hearted review of the year – a chance for the team at AXA to let their hair down and enjoy themselves for the evening.

However, this approach was certainly not taken from our perspective. Providing the full production, from set to sound it was imperative every detail was taken care of for such an esteemed client.

Production:av was pleased to continue our great relationship with marketing communications agency Dair* to achieve this event.

Our high definition projection provided an excellent backdrop for the presentations and our d&b Audiotechnik system with digital control was employed ensuring the audio was discreet, tidy and to the highest standard. The set design was carried out in house. White PVC was chosen in order for pixel lines and moving heads to be used to colour the set, which gave fantastic results.

The Live Events co-ordinator at Dair* commented:

Both the AXA events team and the key event stakeholders mentioned what a great team we had on site, polite, helpful, professional, ready to help being just a few of the words used.

The event was a success from start to finish with everybody being exceptionally pleased with all aspects of the show. We look forward to operating on future events with this client.

Production:av launches The Capsule

UK – Production:av are proud to announce the launch of the Capsule to the events, exhibitions, and media industries.

The Capsule is a patented hardware and software solution allowing audio recordings to be transferred to multiple USB keys in real time as the event is happening.  The keys can also be pre-loaded with company advertising, presentations, graphics, and web-based links.

This solution allows delegates and audiences to walk away from an event or briefing with a USB key containing the recordings and media of the event they have just attended minutes earlier.  The USB key can then be plugged in to a computer, a welcome screen loads, and all recordings and information are available for viewing.

Andy Cook, business development manager comments, “we are proud to be launching this communication tool on a global scale and we will be offering a bespoke solution for clients, both in terms of rental of hardware, but also in creating the welcome screen and user interface which will can individually designed for clients.  This product has many applications including media briefings, music events, and corporate conferences”.

Production:av have a growing product and solutions portfolio, and have plans for further expansion in this area.  “Production:av aims to provide technology to clients allowing them to enhance their communication with customers, suppliers, and their industry”.

Morgan Centenary Gala Dinner

2009 sees the 100th Anniversary of the Morgan Motor company, based in Malvern Link. Having produced classic motorcars for the past 100 years, it was felt that an event should be held to mark the occasion. Over the weekend of the 31st of july to 2nd of August, a series of events were held at Cheltenham racecourse to mark the Centenary.

Production:av was appointed as live video supplier for the Morgan Centenary Gala Dinner at the Centaur, part of the Cheltenham Racecourse complex.  Working on behalf of show producer, Richard Tierney, Production:av specified a full high-definition projection system to showcase video content and live camera feeds.  We installed two 16′x9′ projections screens in a V-formation above the stage to ensure adequate sightlines for the audience.  This was a key requirement, with the main show opener using video content coupled with a Morgan sportscar driving on to the stage amidst flashes of pyrotechnics.

Using our recent investment in additional Barco CLM-HD8 projectors, a pair of projectors for each screen provided HD images showcasing full HD camera work and video content with a bright and vivid 16,000 lumens per screen. Live cameras were directed by Production:av, switched via a Panasonic AV-HS400 mixer and fed to the Barco Screen Pro II switcher where VT playins and on site edits from Final Cut Edit Machines were also switched, before going to the screens as DVI signals over Fibre Optic.

The client was blown away with the results of using an HD video system helping to make this a memorable event for all involved and with an interest in Morgan Sportscars (1909-2009).

Production:av were pleased to work on behalf of Event and Management Services on this event.

Cheltenham Gold Cup 2009

A day at the races – Production:av have been providing the video control at the Cheltenham Festival which includes the world-renowned Gold Cup chase.  We were asked to provide our services within the Centaur auditorium building at Prestbury Park. Mixing feeds from the outside broadcast vehicles, alongside internal venue television feeds, punters were able to watch the racing and current betting using our feed to the in-house projection system.

Production:av is pleased to continue its association with Cheltenham Racecourse and is looking forward to the upcoming race events during 2009.

Production:av @ Revolution 24

We were pleased to be appointed to provide AV support for the final event of the Revolution track cycling series held at the Manchester Velodrome in February.  The final Revolution event was a high profile event for the velodrome, with some popular names from the Beijing 2008 Olympics riding including Bradley Wiggins and Sir Chris Hoy.  Working on behalf of Dair Ltd, Production:av provided relay plasma screens within the track centre corporate hospitality area,  mixing a live camera feed with presentations highlighting sponsors and supporters of the event.  The event was a great success with a 3500 capacity crowd in attendance and we look forward to working on some future projects during 2009.

Our thanks to the retiring Manchester Velodrome Event Director, Gordon Harling for his advice and support on the installation for this event.

New Frontiers with Production:av

We have recently been at the Butlins resort on the south coast with New Frontiers International.  Production:av installed over 500 metres of SDI cabling to carry live video feeds from the main venue to a number of overflow venues.  We also provided video switching and on-stage monitoring within the main conference session.  With a brief to provide a high quality solution for delegates in the overflow venues, we installed Barco CLM 10,000 lumen projectors alongside D&B audio systems within the cinema venues to relay the conference sessions.

The Identity Youth venue also used 5000 lumen projection and video switching whilst the Jaks children’s venue had a number of large plasma screens with switching to show DVD or laptop sources.

Our thanks go to the management team at New Frontiers for getting us involved and we look forward to next year’s event – check out what our clients say about us in our testimonials section of the website.
