Working for TPi Awards show producers Mondiale Publishing and with event manager Ben Chadwick, the visual design was created by HSL's Tim Fawkes in collaboration with Mike Oates. HSL's event project manager was Spantax.
The basic concept was to make it "Funky, fun and more rock n roll than in previous years," states Fawkes, adding that the biggest challenge was being under pressure to produce something amazing looking to impress all the top industry professionals who were present.
All video content plus the sound track for the opening video was created by Digital Insanity.
"It was really great fun working with Richard Bagshaw from Digital Insanity," says Spantax. "As a team we all gelled together perfectly and this was one of those jobs where the different creatives all bounced ideas off each other - and both lighting and video ended up influencing one another to produce a perfect result".
