London Light Supplies Color Web for Hairdresser Awards
London Light Production Services worked with Capitol House Productions to supply over 200 sqm of Chroma Q Color Web, along with an ETC Eos console and HippoCritter media server for the British Hairdressing Awards at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.
Production manager Amanda Murray at Capitol House says: "We already have our own in-house lighting, but we contacted London Light because we knew they stocked Color Web, which we'd seen and loved at other award events. The first meeting with [London Light directors] Sam Crook and David Buffham took place around six months before the event, when they discussed show's requirements with our lighting designer, Quentin Jarman, including programming the effects to go with the music that would be used. We were really impressed with their helpful and creative attitude - I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone else."
Some 1,800 people attended the evening, which comprised a dinner followed by the awards ceremony, complete with modelled presentations on a catwalk. The Color Web was put to good use throughout the evening, creating a 38m wide and 6m high backdrop along one side of the ballroom. This was driven by Green Hippo's Hippocritter media server and controlled through an ETC Eos console by David Buffham. This gave full control over output and timing and even allowed the use of content provided by the client. The overall impact was stunning and the versatility of the Color Web and Hippocritter allowed it to complement the lighting and mood of the evening.
Says London Light's technical director, Sam Crook: "It was fantastic that David and I were able to help build such a successful event. By working with a small company like London Light, Capitol House could be sure of the personal, friendly and attentive service that they may not find at other, larger, rental houses."
