The Brief
Our client engaged NW Group to deliver back-to-back events, starting with the prestigious New Zealand TV Awards followed seamlessly by the Deloitte Top 200. We were tasked with transforming each event with a distinct aesthetic. We were given creative freedom, creating designs that not only maximised production value but also optimised the space to accommodate 850 attendees.
Solution
Our design incorporated the theme of the event: resilience; embodied by diamonds. The design featured a stage with sharp edges and angled LED screens making diamond shapes. The selling point was having a floating diamond above the stage, achieved using projection.
We installed a bespoke multi-tiered gloss black stage, custom designed specifically for the event. Using our state-of-the-art studio, we also produced creative content which provided an immersive experience for guests.
Our Head of Lighting, Aaron Curry, really pushed the boundaries on this event. Providing an epic design that maximised every aspect of the venues space. Some stand out features included an impressive array of 92 rigging points, 313 metres of truss, 198 lighting fixtures, 136 square metres of Absen, and 2.9mm and 3.9mm LED screens, along with 24 boxes of d&b Audiotechnik J8 and Q1, all set against the custom high-gloss black multi-level stage.
