Precision Managed Events invited ShowPro to the VMA party at the beginning of the month. We love it when the VMA;s are in LA! This was a really fun one - we did a 30' x 55' video projection with (4) 18K HDs, and loads of great lighting for LD Frank Olivas. N.E.R.D performed with Ciera for a live cut-away during the show. Hot and Fun man.
We're starting to really enjoy this European gigging thing. The perfect clients from Ubisoft brought us to Cologne Germany this time. We built two booths for GamesCon. Armen and Courtney from Ethos were the design gurus, and the thing looked sweet. The boys report that the Germans were super kind and helpful - must be that 10% beer they drink. Another fun one.
Hot director Billie Woodruff brought ShowPro in to provide state-of-the-art nightclub lighting for his latest film HONEY 2. We used over 400 Versatubes, circle trusses and automated lighting to pump massive energy in to the movie set. Look closely for Chris's cameo in the film!
Our new fav client Larry Abel Designs brought us along to provide all technical production for a Pacsun show, next to the Santa Monica Pier. We provided sound, lighting, staging, power, video and webcast support for the show. 3500 people made it in the gates, and anther 2000 were outside the gates listening to the headliners. Hot fun in the Summertime!
Felix Lighting invited ShowPro to play at a large Maxim event held on the back lot at Paramount Pictures. Dave from Felix wanted to cover the entire Blue Sky Wall with iconic imagery that was created for the event. This image is roughly 80 feet tall and 200 feet wide, acheived using just three Pigi S projectors. Chris Greulach made it happen in a half a day - BIG.
We got the call from one of our favorite people on the planet, Stacey Esquith from Jordanah, to help her out with a unique arrivals kit for 24. ShowPro designer Chris Greulach put together this backlit-truss-versatube step and repeat wall that was a big hit. Stacey and Chris worked with a local graphics house to produce a material that was translucent. So all of the logos really popped on the red carpet. Add some truss and some versatubes, and you have a contemporary arrivals system!
