A Different Kind of Event Design
When I go to a concert, I’m a bit of a nerd in that I study the production elements – lighting, mechanics, video projection and use of new technology. It is a great place for event inspiration. Last night, I was fortunate to see U2 at Giants Stadium. For this tour, they engineered a truss system that allowed concert-goers to watch unobstructed (hence the 360 tour) from all sides. From this free standing “Claw”, they were able to hang their equipment and a circular video screen above them. The photo below shows a point when the video screen actually enlarged by dropping down closer to the stage. And yes, it was an incredible concert.
