Australia Day 2012 saw 30,000+ revelers celebrating in the heart of Adelaide at the annual Australia Day in the City event presented by Adelaide City Council and the Australia Day Council of SA. This years celebrations were topped off by a free public concert featuring Aussie pop stars Stan Walker and Ricki-Lee.

We constructed our 12x9x8m CLS ground support stage with an out-rigged arch for a 6m VuePix LED screen. Our new L’Acoustics LARAK driven KARA line array and SB18 subwoofers provided for brilliant sound with our Avid VENUE Profile system at front of house. The stage sends were mixed on our Yamaha M7 console.

The lighting rig included a mixture of Martin MAC700s, GLP Impression 90 LED washes, Chromlech Jarags as well as Kupo par cans and Selecon fresnels. Haze was created using 2 Base Hazer Pros. Lighting was controlled using our Road Hog Full Boar lighting console.

Novatech also directed the live video of the event supplying the production crew and equipment. The digital system consisted of Sony broadcast cameras controlled by CCU as well as a Sony BRC300 robotic camera. Switching was via a Sony DFS300. A Sound Devices Pix240 was utilized for capture. Signal was sent to the LED screen across 50m of fiber optic cable.

July and August have been very busy for the team in the Video Production and Content Creation Department with several video shoots and many motion graphic presentations currenty in production.

Working with Coopers, Lion Nathan and Carlton United Breweries our video team has been out and about shooting videos for the AHA|SA awards night in August. The project involved location shoots at CUB’s new distubution centre, several hotels in Rundle Street and part of the production involved the use of a green screen studio that was contructed at Novatech.

The SA Lotteries Agency Excellence Awards, Business SA Export Awards, Heart Foundation Paint The Town Red Auction Dinner and Australian Hotels Association Awards are just a few of the screen presentations recently produced at Novatech. All presentations are heavily video based and were created using Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro.
