Stage

LED lights from Images by Lighting changed colors against tall beaded columns that framed the custom 60-foot-wide ballroom stage.

At CES 2011, the NBC Universal booth immersed attendees in programming from each of the company’s brands. Jack Morton Worldwide created a globe structure that functioned as a versatile stage for live broadcasts and demonstrations. The globe’s lighting and video content changed depending on which brand was being promoted.

The Xbox E3 media briefing took to the Galen Center, with an attendance of more than 3,000 people, including broadcast, print, and online press, as well as partners, developers, and fans. The program was broadcast live and commercial-free on Spike TV, as well as streamed online and through the Xbox console via Xbox Live. At the center of the space was a 35-foot-wide high-definition projection screen flanked by five LED screens varying in shape and size, 11 high-definition plasmas, and a surrounding LED surface more than 10,000 pixels wide, for a total of 1,000 square feet of video screen. A curved floor LED screen that pushed the content into the audience, 300,000 watts of amplification, 120 speakers, and 510 lighting instruments contributed to the creation of a fully immersive experience.

On July 28, some 1,200 guests headed out to the Watermill Center in the Hamptons for the art organization’s annual benefit, one of the season’s biggest draws for philanthropists. Inside the dinner tent a chandelier positioned over the dance floor was made up of plastic recycling bags and pink fabric streamers.
