Live Event

Greenbelt Festival 2010

by

The second August bank holiday weekend saw Greenbelt Festival 2010 staged at Cheltenham Racecourse once again. Working as the appointed video contractor, Production AV supplied a range of venues from simple desktop projectors, through to a full HD projection for a pre-release screening of Africa United by Pathe Fims.  We also provided the Main Stage LED Screen solution for over 10,000 people to view all the action. Production AV took care of it with our usual professional approach, attention to detail and meticulous planning, all combined with well prepared equipment ensuring that the delivery on-site was on schedule and met the client’s requirements.

We utilised our experience in fibre optic and copper DVI transmission, as well as minimum latency processing to provide solutions that got the best from all the content, and where appropriate made the systems easy to use and manage.  Production AV supplied 19 venues throughout the weekend, with technical cover to ensure the smooth running of the programme where necessary, as well as an on-call support service to the un-crewed venues where technical support wasn’t required on a full time basis.

It was a pleasure to work with the festival management team and we hope to be working together again next year.

Production:av provide complete solution for Axa Winterthur.

by

Production:av are proud to provide a full av solution for Axa Winterthur’s recent Manchester conference, and further upcoming events.

The solution centred on a full HD centre screen with 8500 lumens for full impact, driven by Barco switching and a DVI over fibre system to ensure that the quality of the signal from source to screen. This was support by an EAW speaker system and Shure radio microphones to ensure that the audio was crisp, clean and consistent through out the conference.

Lighting took advantage of a mix of generic lanterns and Moving heads to give various looks through out the day and in to the evening awards ceremony.

Production:av also designed and provided the simple widescreen set to the clients requirements. This set has been designed to enable use at multiple venues through out the UK as required.

However equipment on it’s own doesn’t make an event. Production:av supplied experienced and knowledgeable crew to supplement our in house staff on the event to ensure it’s success. Working from start to finish through a single point of contact with our Project Manager ensured that the client had nothing to worry about and a quick response to any issues that might have arisen. Production:av were proud to be working for Dair*, and look forward to working together on further events in the future.

Production:av @ Revolution 24

by

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.

Production:av = Change

by

I=Change is an ongoing project to see people lives changed. Production:av were part of that on Saturday the 7th of February, providing video support for the i=Change Live event, featuring live music from Jake Isaac and band supported by other artists such as Muyiwa, Guvna B, Michaela ‘BIRTHOFAPOET’, Ryan Carty and Roger Samuel.

The event was a Live Recording, with the evenings proceedings being recorded for a live a album and DVD. Production:av were asked to provide the video recording and live screen IMag (Image Magnification) to the event held in the Salvation Army’s Regents Hall off Oxford street in central London.

Production:av provided 4 High Def camera (two fixed, one moving to cover the stage as well as High Def ‘pole cam’ for aerial shots) production to cover the event for the DVD recording and IMag, with the images beeing mixed, before being fed into the Barco ScreenPROII HD/SDI to enable clean and seamless switching between Keynote Slides from an Apple iMac, cameras and when required the song words Luma Keyed over the camera images. The images were then fed to the Barco CLM HD8 via a DVI over fibre optic system, projecting from the rear of the room enabled by our extensive lens range. Production:av provided a crew of camera men, assistants, vision mixer, and graphics operator, all highly experienced meant that the images fed to the screens looked gorgeous from start to finish.

The event ran smoothly despite the challenges of working in a central London (yeap- the traffic wardens struck despite the parking having been covered by the production manager). We look forward to seeing the results of the evenings work. Keep an eye out for the I=Change tour coming later this year, and we’ll try and get a link to the edited footage when we can.

New Frontiers Together at Butlins 2009

by

Pete I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you! The Together event was fantastic- helped massively by your Production:av’s can-do attitude and attention to detail. The Main venue looked great, with the overflows working really well- the sound and visuals were spot on for the event.

We look forward to working with you again next year!

Production:av help NFI Acceler8.

by

August 2008 saw Production:av working for the NFI Wessex region churches on one of those gigs that is a pleasure to be involved with. Acceler8 was held at the New Forrest show ground using a Big Top for the main venue. Production:av were supplying our usual high quality video system to enable the delegates to see the stage party, and relay song words and notices.

Using the Barco CLM R10+ for the main projection, along with the Barco Screen PROII switcher and DVI over Fibre meant that the signal quality and resultant image was as high as possible. Using upto four cameras images to ensure a dynamic mix, with the song words keyed over the top help give a seamless presentation.

We had a great time on site, due to the crew and the organisation. For the first event they had the site and schedule sorted, meaning the crew and delegates had a great time. We’re looking forward to being back for Acceler8 2009.
