Transformation Tuesday: Virginia Film Festival Wrap Party

Greetings from The AV Company

Welcome to our seventh installment in our Transformation Tuesday series! This month, we thought we'd share with you our work for the Virginia Film Festival's Late Night Wrap Party! The party was held at the Main Street Arena last month, and our goal with this event was to capture the fresh, energetic spirit that encompassed all of the events surrounding the festival.

Take a look at how we transformed the arena using our custom chandelier clusters, a fabric divider, and some fun lighting and projection content!

December Update: Projection Mapping Panels

Greetings from The AV Company!

This month, we are taking a look at a fun recent project that allowed us to expand our range when it comes to projection mapping! We recently had the pleasure of working with TEDxCharlottesville again, and were tasked with creating a stage set that would be responsive to the speakers' needs and reflective of the topics being discussed.

We created a backdrop using Wafers from Atomic Design - flat fabric panels with a slight warp to lend a sense of undulation and texture to the backdrop as a whole. Using animated content from motion graphics artist Jonah Tobias, we were able to provide a flexible, visually intriguing, responsive set for this year's TEDxCharlottesville speakers!

Transformation Tuesday: Opening Night Gala

Greetings from The AV Company!

Welcome to our sixth installment in our Transformation Tuesday series! A couple of months ago, we showed you how we transformed the Jefferson Theater for a Virginia Film Festival event back in 2012. For this year's Opening Night Gala, we took it up a notch using some new tools.

The goal for this event was to capture the essence of the setting for the festival's opening film, Big Stone Gap. We decided to do so by mapping the interior of the Jefferson with projected video! We utilized autumnal imagery that depicted some of rural Virginia's natural surroundings, as well as some geometric animation for a change of tone as the event went on. We also made sure to highlight the architectural features of the space that make this venue so unique.
