Screens, staging and lighting for an awards banquet — the room that has to look like the photographs it will be judged by.
What the job involved, and what it had to work around.
The project
An awards night is a photography brief disguised as an event. Every winner will be photographed on that stage, and those photographs are the entire afterlife of the evening — the press release, the LinkedIn post, next year’s entries.
That makes the backdrop the most important thing in the room. DSD supplied the screen carrying category and sponsor branding, the staging, and lighting set so that a phone camera in the crowd and the official photographer both get a usable shot.
Sponsors get their placement where it will actually be seen — behind the winner, in every photograph taken all night.
What we supplied
Every part of the job, listed rather than summarised.
Screen behind the stage carrying category and sponsor branding.
Platform and steps for presentations and photographs.
Set for photography as well as for the room.
Sponsor content in the frame of every winner's photograph.
Tell us the site, the date and what it has to do. We will tell you what it takes and whether we are the right people for it.
