The Show      
 

Dubai Aluminum approached us 4 months before their scheduled launch of Potline 7a. Although planned for company’s audience only, the brief included video, audio, stage with backdrop, truss rigging and lighting system, all inside a 20x35x7mtrs large tent during the day!

We went in for installation 2 days prior the event. Simultaneously the stage of 6x4meters and trussing support system with lights were coming up and by the end of the first day, all equipment was in place. The second day was left for rehearsal, lights programming and fine-tuning of all aspects of this show.

The show lasted only 20 minutes, with ever-present background music and ambient lighting, followed by speeches with lots of figures and finishing with eye-tearing video footage of the build-up of Potline 7a. Lights were coordinated to the speech and video pattern with superb sound distribution all around the room. The event continued into light buffet snacks and drinks accompanied by music and lighting.

The Verdict

     
  Although small in production, attention to details was the key to client’s satisfaction. Neat trussing system with hidden cables, mood and show lighting in appropriate colors highlighting the venue’s and set’s features, quality sound distribution and most important, the professional and always available crew all led to yet another satisfied client.
