The stage and screen were specially adapted to perfectly complement the dance performances . The stage was built as a floor construction , with a slightly mirrored surface , allowing for the enhancement of the LED effect behind it . The length of the wall enabled the dancers to be fully supported by the on-screen graphics behind them throughout the entirety of the performance .
To extend the immersive feel , the sound in the room was set up as 360-degree sound reinforcement . PA boxes were installed in the truss construction of the LED wall , as well as additional boxes and subwoofers in front of the stage- ensuring the experience would be felt all around the room .
The light setup was achieved with moving light ( spot lamps and wash lamps ) which allowed illumination of the ceiling to complement and enhance the effect of the LED wall and the content .
Through Encore ’ s combined digital and production services , the team were able to support Radisson Hotel Group from the planning right through to the implementation of the event . Encore used their own event platform , ‘ Chime Go Agenda ’, to connect the exceptional network of industry peers and to add more interaction to the event experience , following feedback from the event the previous year . ‘ Chime Go Agenda ’ provided a sustainable , paperless agenda accessible at the attendees ’ fingertips and facilitated the submission of questions via the platform to interact with the on-stage speakers .
Testimonial Simon Autem , director of project management at Encore said : “ You felt as if you were sitting in a real forest . Butterflies flew around you and birdsong could be heard from different directions . When the guests entered the ballroom of the Radisson Blu in Frankfurt , the impact of the room was visible by their stunned faces . The 270 ° LED wall made every guest , no matter where they were seated , feel as if they were surrounded by stars and planets . Dinner was served to the guests while rays of sunlight shone through between
the trees – this special moment was just the final highlight of a great evening event . No matter how big you build an LED wall , the content on-screen plays a major role . Dinner guests were taken on a 360 ° journey through various Radisson Group hotels around the world , giving each guest the feeling of experiencing the meeting rooms and bedrooms live . This visual experience was rounded off by a Dolby Surround system designed by Encore and the appropriate lighting mood for each section of the video content . It was impressive to see how the Encore team solved the challenges presented by this location and setting . The guests , as well as our client , Radisson , had a wonderful evening and no matter who I spoke to , they were thrilled with the event set up and the team ’ s performance .” n
