Kinesys at The Brits
A Kinesys automation system was used for the fourth year running on this year’s Brit Awards – to raise and lower a large video screen on stage left to allow access for between-band backline and set changeovers.
The high profile event was staged at Earls Court in London and broadcast live on ITV 1. The screen - measuring 12 metres wide by 7 high - was made up from Lighthouse R16 LED panels, weighing approximately 6 tonnes and supplied by XL Video. It was rigged on eight Kinesys-adapted 1 tonne CM Lodestar motors.
All rigging was undertaken by Outback, with the overall operation co-ordinated by head rigger Dave Morrell, working closely with production manager Mick Kluczynski and his team from MJK Productions. The Kinesys system – run by their proprietary Vector software – was operated by Mylan Lester.
Kinesys’ Dave Weatherhead said: “It’s a great show and good to be back working with Dave Morrell and Outback again, especially this year with the extra excitement of it being live - and vital that everything ran like clockwork!”
