MW Sepsis Charity Ball
Overview
The MW Sepsis Charity ball aims to raise public awareness, educate health professionals and provide continuous vital support to survivors of the condition. Working in conjunction with Monsoon Events and Gino Spolverino, DMX Productions was the official production partner for the event.
Brief:
The project brief required creative video and lighting solutions, with additional audio infill. Held at the ICC Birmingham, one of the largest event spaces in the Midlands, we were required to transform this space into one of intimacy and elegance, while further highlighting the event’s carnival-based theme.
Our solutions, while needing to be aesthetically pleasing, had to be practical due to the event’s nature and the ample, open event space. The brief placed great importance on integrating video solutions so that everyone in attendance could clearly view all content being displayed throughout the event.
Solution:
For this event, a two-stage concept was developed, featuring a main stage and a centrally located stage. The main stage boasted a flown Unilumen LED wall at the rear of the stage. The second stage had a flown projection and four-way cube structure, thus allowing for more comfortable viewing of visuals throughout the venue, ensuring the brief was met and the impactful message of the event delivered.
The lighting design was based on the brief and the scheduled live performances. Our design created an elegant atmosphere, with emphasis placed on the carnival theme and on ensuring that all performances were delivered with impact, employing the same rig. This was achieved with the combined use of beams, washes, floods and generics placed throughout the venue.
Furthermore, our PA solution reinforced the venues existing PA with subs and infill. This was achieved by the use of D&B Q series and B2 subs, to ensure all vocals and performances could be enjoyed throughout the venue. This ensured that the important message of the event was by clearly heard those in attendance.
Project Deliverance:
With the event successfully raising over £100,000 and those in attendance enjoying a wonderful evening, DMX was honoured to have successfully delivered this project in conjunction with MW. We look forward to working together again in the near future.
