A touch late posting ..... but here's a throwback to a couple of weeks ago working with Arun District Council for their "Elements Reawaken" show in Bognor Regis.
ADC approached us to design, create and deploy an educational immersive audio visual experience: covering the creation and evolution of the universe as we know it over a 10 minute show period, with an exciting finale to show off all the toys.
This was a hugely labour intensive project, with story design, narration, custom audio soundtracks / effects and a comprehensive Video / Laser / Lighting / SFX show all meticulously pre-programmed and synchronised to run via LTC from the main show computer.
Pre-programming the show in this way allowed us to demonstrate the show's lighting and video in advance with the client, ensuring we were hitting the complicated brief correctly - and a thoughtfully designed PA ensured we kept the sound in the show area and out the (many) surrounding neighbours gardens.
Achieving immersion in a HUGE outdoor space isn't an easy task, but by utilising features around the site, a staggered series of video walls, lighting deployed in, around and the edges of the audience as well as some haze and other SFX meant you forgot you were in a park in the audience area.
Creating SFX that trigger alongside audio cues such as lighting & explosions which followed the story really added to the story and immersion, and flamethrower / laser SFX added the extra wow factor for the audience.
PA was the least exciting part .... 2 x 96HO, 2 x SM80 and 6 x TH118XL in a 2:1 cardioid array.
This project is a good example of the work CCA Events LLP has spent the last couple of years building and doing - which is bringing our large network of event professionals under one roof for projects like this.
The Website is currently under re-design, and it's exciting to start releasing the new company vision with everyone.
Many thanks to those involved, and a huge shout out to Re-Production for their lighting and video wizardry as per usual!
