All in a weeks work!
July is always a busy month for the Piranha team, with regular client conferences taking centre stage. Andy, Darren and Matt were on hand to assist the Annual Donna Louise Trust Charity Ball at Keele Hall. The event had a ‘Jazz’ theme and featured entertainers Johnny Wilkes, Pete Conway, Peter Faint's The Well Swung Band and Michelle Montouri. Piranha provided sound, lights and video projection for the event which was a tremendous success raising £37,000 for the charity.
From Monday through to Thursday Andy, Darren and Matt were called into action again filming the Graduation ceremonies from Keele University's chapel. The multicamera shoot is a regular event for Piranha and was enhanced this year the use of a remote camera for the first time which the team were very impressed with.The ceremonies were recorded and streamed live over the internet for those who could not make it to Keele.
On Wednesday Alec was dispatched to Sandon Business and Enterprise College to set up sound, lights and projection for the end of year celebrations.
Following the set up rehearsals commenced and Alec was on hand to offer technical advice to students on how to make the most of their presentations.
Thursday was the celebration day and during the daytime business students presented their entrepreneurial ideas while in the evening Alec was joined by Matt who assisted with the colleges performing arts showcase. The highlight of the evening was a Stoke version of Hamlet called Omelette!!
On Wednesday morning Matt set up a PA system at a local site for Barratt Homes who were doing an official opening of their latest development. The event was attended by Executives of Barratt Homes who were introducing themselves to the local community and schools.
The week was rounded off with a Friday set up and late night Saturday collection of some Plasma screens and PA equipment at Uttoxeter Racecourse. The course was hosting the staff of HMP Dovegate who were celebrating 10 years in operation.
Piranha technician Matt Boulton, who was involved in every job of the week, said “It was one of the busiest weeks I’ve known for Piranha, but as a team we’ve supported each other and got through it without any major hiccups”. An to top that off, Matt even managed to create a new time-lapse video for our Youtube channel.
