The west Midlands based creative and technical production specialist was commissioned for the project by a leading Belgian production company for their end client, a major pharmaceutical brand.
They wanted a special evening treatment for the front entrance of the hotel to welcome their 250 conference delegates.
CPL's team was led by Mike Radford. The brief was to illuminate the front entrance of the property and bring a touch of magic for guests arriving to Heythrop on two evenings.
The primary elements walls were highlighted with a selection of wireless LED fixtures and moving lights with custom gobos in weather-domes.
The front entrance itself is an area of around 50 metres wide incorporating walls, arches and pillars, for which Mike chose a CORE Point30 LED flood to colour and highlight the wall sections. "I needed something with power, punch and a really nice quality of smooth light," he explained.
For a feature wall which also includes the Crowne Plaza logo, they used eight Clay Paky GlowUp Strip wireless battens. These were a neat and tidy solution to getting lighting tight to the wall. In differentiating it from the main walls, this added a striking three dimensionality to the visual picture.
