UK - S+H Technical supplied a 12mm LED surface for the 2017 TV Choice Awards.
The award ceremony brought together over 400 TV and entertainment celebrities at a gala dinner evening in The Ballroom at the Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane in central London.
Stoneapple Productions designed and produced the ceremony for many years and S+H has been supplying screen for the last three.
This year, four columns – two per side - of the S+H’s 12mm LED product flanked a main projection screen positioned upstage centre. The LED columns each measured 7m high by 1m wide, and in between each of these was a vertical row of blinder lights.
The LED columns were used to display a variety of video content produced by Stoneapple for the event, including Awards graphics and aminations, for which they were highly effective.
The 12 mm is an ideal product for events like this. It was chosen for its brightness and good resolution, light weight and modular construction, and the panels were supplied in touring frames for speedy installation – for which S+H sent a crew to site to co-ordinate and tech the kit for the get in / out and the show.
Pavani Watt and her team at Stoneapple are constantly in touch with S+H to supply a variety of products including LED starcloths and LED floors which are utilised on a variety of projects.
“Terry and all at S+H are great people to work and do business with. They have an excellent range of products which are different, interesting and often featuring new technologies. The service is fast and efficient - and always with a smile”.
S+H’s Terry Murtha comments, “It’s a pleasure working with Stoneapple on their various projects which are all dynamic and slickly produced whatever the environment and context. We have been working together since the very start of S+H and that customer loyalty speaks for itself and means a huge amount to us.”
The 2017 TV Choice Awards were dominated by ITV’s Emmerdale which won all four soap awards while crime drama Broadchurch collected three trophies in that category. Ant and Dec collected two prizes and Mary Berry received an Outstanding Contribution to Television Award.
