Inspired by the very brilliant Eurovision blog (sorry can’t find a link at the moment) I’m going to start a series of posts on a project that I’ll be taking on this week. Over the course of the next 13 days I will be joining a large team of designers, technicians, programmers and managers putting on a very large scale event. For political reasons i won’t be divulging the event to begin with but as the show rolls on it will become more acceptable to give out more details.
The ETC offering will be 22 Christie Roadster S+ 20k projectors, nearly a kilometer and a half of DVI Fibre signal distribution and an unpresidented 16 Onlyview Servers (the previous biggest show used 8). These will compliment a large pile of O-Lite, an 18 camera shoot and an impressive pile of staging and lighting (sorry guys, they’re not technologies i understand)
I’ll be telling the story as it unfolds from our end.
8 Servers set up for the onstage projection. Another 2 still to be configured for the LED and 6 for the offstage projection.
The 8 Servers in all their glory, 10 more will get delivered tomorrow!
I’ll be heading up the programming on this event, and it’s going to be a whirlwind of a couple of weeks but i will endevor to keep this updated with the progress and the photos!
Rich,
This is going to be amazing… it’s something i’ve been wanting to do for ages!
I’m presuming you’re basing it on the Spectra blog for the Eurovision?
I’d quite like to mirror this on my blog if you like? – perhaps you could email me and discuss properly?!
