Creative Technology supplied a range of video elements for the ceremony
The event took place back in the summer and featured athletes from all corners of the Commonwealth, with the opening ceremony marking the start of the Games.
Engaged by Birmingham Ceremonies, a joint venture between Gary Beestone Associates and Done and Dusted, CT provided LED display technology and playback services for the show, working with Total Fabrications for the structural elements and BAFTA award-winning artist and creative director Tal Rosner for the content.
Centre stage on the stadium floor the ‘Bullring’ was made from a specialist outdoor and waterproof LED, which incorporated ramps for vehicle access and a removeable section, while one end of the stadium featured a telescopic LED tower incorporating 250sq m of CT’s flagship BQ4 LED.
In addition to these custom elements, CT supplied the four main LED screens within the stadium, which remained in place throughout the Games.
Ross Howard, CT’s project manager for Birmingham 2022, comments: “Managing a project on this scale is both a huge challenge and a great honour. The ambition and attention to detail from the creative team means we are pushing technology to the limit and constantly innovating to achieve visual perfection.
“It is a great experience to be working alongside so many industry leaders and showing once again that we Brits really know how to put on a show.”
