SenovvA was proud to provide Projection and LED for this year’s SU2C, simulcast live on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and 20+ Cable channels Friday, September 10th, 2010. This year’s broadcast required 45 Christie Projectors to cover 220 horizontal feet of serpentine screens, along with 900 Barco LED Panels and one of the largest Encore Systems ever assembled for broadcast. Unfortunately, Cancer touches us all in some way. SenovvA has contributed its efforts to the Stand Up To Cancer Organization since 2008, and will continue to support them as long as the fight goes on.

SenovvA used the newly available WinVision LED display system at the Spike TV “Scream Awards,” broadcast on Tuesday, October 21, 2008.

WinVision is a “see through” LED screen, and provides an innovative solution for any stage, event or production. Frank McMinn chose WinVision because of its ease of set-up, lightweight design, and minimal thermal issues. SenovvA utilized WinVision panels for two on-stage display walls as well as in the “Skull Island” floor where the panels were mounted below a Lexan top.

SenovvA also installed a Stewart Filmscreen AeroView 100 screen on the main stage, 23’ x 40’6”. SenovvA had to create a path to get talent and set pieces on and off stage during the show. Dave Taylor designed a rig with box truss to surround the entire screen so it could cantilever back like a garage door.

Several set pieces were also visually animated through use of Barco i6XP LED panels. SenovvA installed 24 panels in the “Spike” to provide background visual effects from the stage floor up to the crosspiece of the spike.

This one of a kind fundraiser following Hurricane Katrina was staged on the University of Mississippi campus in Oxford, Mississippi. SenovvA was called in to provide our projection expertise for this televised musical appeal for help to the hurricane ravaged areas of Mississippi.

SenovvA has been called on to provide projection and video displays for several Daytime Emmy broadcasts. Often presented with unusual design parameters, we have executed the systems with a minimum of difficulty to the satisfaction of all. Frank McMinn and Dave Taylor have experience with this show going back many years, both in New York and Los Angeles.

One of our clients, Rob Paine, a Line Producer for the 33rd Annual Daytime Emmys, wrote, “just wanted to thank you all for your efforts on the Daytime Emmys. The combination of everyone’s professionalism, vast experience and great personalities made the show the success that it was and made it a true pleasure to come to work each day. I look forward to the next time we all work together again.”

SenovvA supplies LED displays on and around the Red Carpet as video reinforcement for this area of the event.

In addition to the services provided to the broadcast inside the Kodak Theatre, SenovvA has supplied custom LED walls of varying sizes and other display products for the Red Carpet “Pre-Show” for the last 5 years. The Red Carpet is laid on Hollywood Boulevard, directly outside the Hollywood & Highland Center. Some of the LED walls have been mounted high on the Center itself, while others have been freestanding on the carpet itself.

Frank McMinn and Dave Taylor are key members of the technical design team for the Oscar broadcast. They work closely with the production designers to implement their vision of innovative video elements into the broadcast. (more…)

SenovvA worked with ABC Sports to create a circular high resolution LED screen in the floor of the set used for the pregame, halftime, and postgame commentators. Situated in the peristyle above the end zone, we had to work out a solution allowing the installation of the system into a stage with a surface only one foot above the concrete deck. Using a unique custom mounting frame, we were able to install the screen in a minimal amount of time. The mounting also allowed for quick access in case service was needed.
