We have been
super busy this weekend just gone, providing magical Winter Wonderland theming
for a huge event for the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity. Draping on a HUGE scale and clever lighting allowed
us to transform the sports hall and vast reception area at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre into an unrecognisable space.
The rig
began on Friday morning where we installed a White Draped Tunnel from reception
to the main sports hall…the brief was to create an intimate, enclosed walkway
for guests to filter through to dinner. We
used drape along all walls and ceiling, up-lit it in an icy blue wash and
finished it off with a few Winter Forest Backdrops - it looked fantastic.
The drapes
that we hung in the reception area were installed on the day of the event, on
Saturday – metres and metres (and many more metres) hung from a 6 metre height
and covering all of the reception area features, made for a wonderful first
impression as guests arrived. Using
Moving Head Lights, we projected large snowflakes that spread over the walls
and ceiling, creating that extra depth needed to transform the space.
The main
dining room was where we could have a bit of a play using a great lighting technique that we simply love. We call
it the ‘Mirror Ball Effect’ – using Mirror Balls and huge beams of light, the effect
of light sprinkled over the walls and floor is simply stunning – we can’t
really describe it – take a look at this picture and you’ll see what we mean…
A loooooong
shift for the team with a 6.30am finish – but so worthwhile and a great event
to be a part of! With guest appearances
from ‘Scouting for Girls’, this prestigious event was a great success for a
fantastic charity.
