LightingLighting: Most conference venues require stage lighting, both for the presenter to be clearly seen, and so that they become the main focal point of the room. 'Theatrical' style lighting gives frontlight at angles that illuminate the whole face, and backlight which gives them a '3D' quality, and also allows them to read their notes! A step up from this stye of lighting, is lighting for camera (see IMAG below) where the camera requires a certain level of lighting in order to pick up a clear image that can be put to screen or recorded. Without backlighting, and lighting of the backdrop, no contrast between the presenter and the backdrop behind them can be created. Most colours such as blue and red look almost black on camera, especially when not lit, so lighting dark backdrops is essential when filming. When an audience first walks into a room, their expectation of the rest of the evening or event is set in the first few minutes. What's needed is some excitement, and it's so easy to provide! We offer two basic standard options for our clients, on which we can build to provide a full, professional light show.The Walk-In Effect. The walk-in effect is a room-wash that covers tables or seating, generally with one or more colours. The stage is generally lit as well, perhaps with 'moving head' fixtures, which can be hung in one position, but can be remote-controlled to light a number of different areas throughout the evening. These lights, generically referred to as 'intelligent lights', are used for projecting patterns, changing colours, and providing movement, either slow or fast, giving a look which is very effective through haze. Stings and Entertainment Lighting. 'Stings', both audio and lighting-based are generally used for awards. Where the award is announced, a music clip might play, accompanied by some form of change in the lighting, often using moving lights. From a basic rig of static (non-moving) coloured lights on a dancefloor or stage, through to intelligent lights scanning the floor, changing colours or spotting individuals on stage, any event can be enhanced by good lighting. All events in which we do lighting will come with an experienced lighting technician who can tailor a show to your requirements.
