Chauvet lights virtual graduation tribute
- Details
With the regional high school’s usual live graduation ceremony cancelled because of the COVID-19 lockdown, Imperial Cars contacted Image Production Services of Worcester, MA to put together a virtual alternative for Nipmuc students.
Having worked with Imperial Cars on many projects in the past, Darren Lussier and his team at Image Production Services including media specialist Tovia ‘Ben’ Shapiro, put together an impressive video display to honour graduates. They used 80 Chauvet Professional PVP LED panels to create a double-side video wall at the edge of the Imperial Plaza lot, with one of those sides facing Route 16.
Mounted on a stage and covered by a roof, the video wall displays the name and portrait of each graduate with words of congratulations. The looped videos will run continuously from 11am to 11pm every day for two weeks, giving friends, parents and students a chance to drive by and celebrate the moment.
Students who want to do something extra to commemorate their graduation, can swing into the Imperial parking lot and having their photo taken on the inward-facing side of the video wall.
“This is the first project for high school graduations like this that Image Production Service has done,” said Lussier. “It recognises students while keeping social distancing. We are ready to adapt this concept for town hall meetings, college commencements and other events where a client wants to show videos and broadcast FM audio directly to cars. It’s our way of staying relevant and helping the community.”
