Making a venue your own for one night requires understanding the virtues of a space and the message of the event being staged there. In being approached to support Birmingham Mail’s first “Pride of Birmingham” awards ceremony at Town Hall, we had to find a balance of identity in the stories of those being recognised, in the surround of an iconic environment. Any award requires a journey, and in the context of a ceremony the story of that journey needs to be clear and the final steps are to the stage. Using this as impetuous we focused on the quality of the videos provided by Blue Monday and giving the awardees a unique piece of set to reach their award. The projection was bright clear and big and the steps accessing the stage designed to represent drawing some very special stories to a moment of recognition.
Practically we relied upon a tried and tested method of design and build to produce stage set in the overall style of the event but with a grand twist. We installed high quality AV systems to present videos at a quality befitting to the story.
