Fashion show at The Symes

A designer showcase with a 40 ft runway built into a hard-surfaced industrial room, six segments and a photographers' pit at the end mark.

What we did

  • Runway decking built and levelled, skirted in black
  • Ten LED profiles front at 45° in high-CRI 4000K so the garments read on camera
  • Two dedicated fixtures on the end mark where the photographers were standing
  • Music cut to the look count per segment with tails long enough to cover a late model
  • Comms between backstage, front of house and the show caller
  • One full rehearsal with real timing, which caught two segment lengths that were wrong
