E/T/C complete huge Great Britons projection task

As part of the BBC's 'Great Britons' pageant E\T\C UK projected the images of the 10 candidates onto three different British city centre landmarks.
Contracted by the BBC, E\T\C UK did this over the three evening’s leading up to the broadcast of the final programme in this high profile series.
As the final winner was announced, the face of Winston Churchill, voted the all-time greatest Briton by the public, was then projected onto all three buildings - in London, Liverpool and Bristol - in a simultaneous live broadcast.
The project followed on from E\T\C’s work with the BBC for the first programme in the series – on Viscount Horatio Nelson. They projected his face on the Shell Building on London’s South Bank. This projection was such a massive success, that the BBC decided to publicise the finale using the same hi-impact promotional techniques of large format projection.
At Wellington Arch, the hardware was rigged in the back of a truck parked in front of the arch, in Liverpool; the projector was installed on the 5th floor of an office block opposite the hotel, with cables fed up from the ground below. In both cases generators supplied by Cat Rental Power powered the projectors. In Bristol, a company boardroom opposite the tower happened to be the optimum position. Here a mains feed had to be specially installed to run the projector.
The projections were all achieved using PIGI 7Kw Zenon projectors with double scrollers.
