Hillsong Colour Conference 2011

SFL hangs ultra wide LED and 44,000 lumens of projection in Wembley Arena

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

SFL were once again asked to work with the Hillsong Production team on their annual women's conference called Colour. This year the event moved to Wembley Arena.

Hillsong already have a very large production department along with equipment so AV Manager Craig Lawrence worked with their teams to supplement existing equipment for all the extra requirements.

A 12m wide LED screen was flown above the middle of the stage along with 2x 5m wide LED screens to each side of the stage. The main screen was used to show live cameras, song words, various video content elements and VT clips. These layers were all arranged on the ultra wide screen using a rack of Barco Screen Pro II's. The side screens were used to relay key video elements to the people sat in the raked seating. The stage jutted out into the main arena floor to enable the delegates to engage more with what was happening on stage.

SFL set up 2x Barco FLM-R22 projectors which were used to project onto moving gauze and people for one of the specific items during the conference. All elements of the item had to be carefully choreographed to ensure that the moving text from the twin stack of projectors could be seen on the dancers bodies.

There were also various conversion and distribution systems provided to ensure that the multiple stage comfort screen images and venue displays worked correctly.
