Olympic Games 2008 – October 2008
This year we saw the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games, which were held in Beijing, coverage was worldwide, and Lightmedia Displays were given the opportunity by "London Organisation Committee" to supply their range of LED screens in London, Weymouth, and Belfast to name but a few.
Lightmedia Displays supplied 16 screens to cover this event.
Team GB excelled themselves, and won 19 gold medals, 13 silver medals, and 15 bronze medals. Lightmedia Displays felt privileged to be involved in such a momentous event.
The coverage was a huge success, so much so that Lightmedia Displays were asked to supply screens for the Paralympic Games, where Team GB, once again did us proud, in winning 42 gold medals, 29 silver medals, and 31 bronze medals.
The screens looked amazing and captured the whole experience magnificently.
A homecoming event was organised for Olympic Gold medallist rebecca Adlington and Lightmedia Displays were there providing the public with full coverage. Lightmedia Displays provided one of their most sought after screens - the 27sqm picture box, sound, and production. Once again this proved to be a massive success, with one of the best screens in the industry.
We look forward to the games in 2012.
Isle of Wight Festival 2008 – October 2008
The Isle of Wight Festival took place this year over 3 days in June.
It hosted many top name bands such as Kaiser Chiefs, Scouting for Girls, The Enemy, and many more.
Lightmedia Displays were there for the whole of the event, and provided a wide range of screens which included 2 x 27sqm Picturebox mobile screens, and 18sqm mobile.
Once again the festival proved a huge success, and although the weather was a little unpredictable at times, this did not dampen the atmosphere, and excitement of the crowd.
A great time was had by all!!!!
Liverpool Nativity – December 2007
LMD provided the BBC with 2 x 27sqm mobile screens for the public to view the live event on BBC 3 Sunday 16th December.
We also provided a 24sqm ultra high resolution screen that was used as the main feature in the programme; this was a backdrop on which the screen was split into 9 sections, all of which depicted a cctv like image; this was done using a Zander controller. The characters would then go to each screen image as part of the set.
We also provided a 6m x 1m modular screen which provided highly visible song lyrics so the audience could join in the singing.
How to Look Good Naked – Cityscreen LED screen
Cityscreens.tv was approached by Channel 4 to use our screen as part of their televised peak-time programme. We played out pre-recorded footage of the girl in the popular show, How to Look Good Naked.
Unbeknown to her, as she walked through Leeds Shopping Centre, she turned the corner into Lands Lane to be surprised by a large image of herself on the screen in nothing but her underwear! She was then hijacked by the show’s producer and a camera. The public was asked to look at her on the screen and give comments about the lady in question. An amusing afternoon was had by all. Indeed, she did look good on our Cityscreen mobile LED screen.
3 Screens for the African Nations Cup for Guinness
LMD have sent three mobile screens out to Nigeria and to Ghana to show the African Nations Cup. The client is Guinness. There will be fans’ parks set up with an array of sporting games and other activities. Each evening after the football there will be live music.
LMD will show the whole competition from start to finish on our state-of-the art LED screens. We begin work in Africa on the 20th January and finish on 11th February.
