West End Live 2011

This year West End Live moved to Trafalger Square. We used an array of fabrics (some very usefully waterproof !) and in keeping with new sponsorship colours. Each of the 12 exhibitor marquees were themed to suit their occupants and dressed from top to bottom, inside & out. We have to say Historic Royal Palaces' Banqueting House was a favourite ! As usual a great team worked hard and the scene was built over 2 days.

Planets in Progress~Jamiroquai Tour 2011

   

Jamiroquai Tour 2011



Just finished painting an amazing stage set for Jamiroquai ~ (giant planets, some the size of a bathroom !) 
In the warehouse we have been busy working under U.V. light to create planets to be lit by the amazing Vince Foster . Each sphere was constructed in fibreglass ranging from 2.3m diameter to 1m. First we coated with a base primer and then Bristol Invisible Blue U.V. paint. The planets had to be monochrome and light'ish in tone to allow Vince to work his magic. There are 12 sphere's in total and to enable us to work on them, Neg Earth Lighting constructed some truss with motors that allowed us to raise and drop each sphere to work on top and underneath. Each had to be forklifted from truck to truss and back to truck for delivery down to LH2 for production rehearsals. And soon to be on tour with Jamiroquai.
