Engineering an Award-Winning Experience

Working within a highly restrictive 'same-day' access window, SASS deployed an expanded crew at 08:00 AM to execute a complex build in just a few hours, liaising closely with the client to integrate last-minute presentation changes, ensuring the "script" for the awards was perfectly synced with custom audio stings and visual transitions.

The Technical Delivery

●           Heritage Lighting: To capitalize on the unique venue, we used fairy-light walkways and colour-wash uplighting to illuminate the historic aircraft, turning the planes themselves into a dramatic, living backdrop for the awards stage.

●           Visual Precision: We deployed a seven-projector array to splash sponsor logos across the hangar surfaces, alongside dual large-format screens flanking the stage for high-definition video and award presentations.

●           Immersive Zoning: A dedicated VIP area was sectioned off using star-cloth and pipe-and-drape, creating a "club" feel for pre-dinner drinks and promotional displays.

●           The "Wow" Factor: To heighten the climax of the evening, we integrated comfort monitors, a professional lectern, and a synchronized confetti cannon for the headline award winners.

Despite the tight turnaround, the event was a resounding success. We delivered a seamless transition from a professional awards ceremony to a high-energy 80s arcade experience that kept guests engaged long into the night.
