Blink TV supply theatre sized video package

Video specialists Blink TV launched a new theatre-sized visual package on the recent Liberty X tour.
Well known for their work at arena, stadium and festival level, this is a new, highly flexible Blink format designed to bring their winning formula and high production values to tours playing theatres, town halls and other smaller sized venues.
The tour-ability and flexibility of the system is essential for it to work equally effectively in a diverse selection of venues from clubs to London’s Hammersmith Apollo.
Blink’s project manager for the Liberty X tour, Adam Walton, worked in close consultation with lighting designer Jvan Morandi, one of Europe’s top practitioners of the art. Morandi is extremely specific about the look and style of all the shows on which he works and used a High End Catalyst video system as an integral part of the Liberty X show’s visuality.
Morandi and Walton chose an innovative format for Blink TV on this tour, with two Fast-fold video screens onstage for the opening and support band slots, onto which the Blink programmes could also be projected.
Aesthetically, this has resulted in the screens taking on a far more ‘involved’ and integrated role than if they had occupied the traditional side-stage positions.
