What we did

Client: HC Awards
Sector: Events
Area: Events
Type of work: Photocalls & press walls
Location: Barcelona

Production of the photocall for an awards ceremony held on a terrace overlooking Barcelona. We built a step-and-repeat backdrop using a printed banner with the repeated logo, together with a raised modular stage riser with access steps to bring the winners up to camera height. Unical Graphic carried out the printing, installation over the existing paving and the dismantling.

The challenge

At an awards ceremony the photographs are taken back to back and with flash, so the backdrop has to hold for hours without creasing and without bouncing light back. The terrace also allowed no fixings, and the riser had to be firm, level and safe to climb for guests in formal dress.

Our solution

The banner was printed with the logo on a staggered grid, with the pitch calculated so that several complete repeats always fall within a mid shot, and it was tensioned on a frame with a silicone edge and a matt finish. The riser was resolved with height-adjustable modules, levelled on adjustable feet over the terrace paving, with a perimeter skirt and access steps with anti-slip treads. The whole set is free-standing and is removed without leaving a mark on the floor.
