West End Eurovision 2010
This years West End Eurovision was much bigger than previous years. The producers at The Make A Difference Trust asked if it was possible to introduce a new Live camera feed into the performance to broadcast pictures from the 'Green Room', where the casts were being held. This meant the video system had to be scaled to incorporate live mixing.
The quality of the video content was also greatly improved this year, with several West End shows filming their video ident's in high definition. The title sequence which opened the show had extensive development from the 2009 version. All content was created in Adobe Photoshop, composited and 3D animation in After Effects and edited in Final Cut.
The system layout comprised of:
- Playback: Qlab Show Control software, on a MBP & SSD HDD
- Mixing: Edirol V440HD
- Cameras: 2x Sony Z1
- Projection: Barco R12+ Performer
- Scoreboard: Mac Mini with custom software
We also provided three video outputs, to the Green Room, Judges Bench, Sub-Stage (quick change) and for the DSM. These were mixed independently from the projected output to provide show relay to the relevant locations at appropriate times in the show.
The scoreboard software was custom for this years event, with slight performance improvements, faster GUI and updated graphics.
