Delivering Vision for the Sky Gallery at The O2

Project brief

A.C. Special Projects were briefed to supply a complete effects lighting solution for the Sky Gallery at The O2 in London, the world’s first 3D TV gallery.
 
The overall lighting scheme covers two main areas, the Sky Gallery and Sky Backstage, which are linked via a 15m curved corridor with a glass wall on one side and a white wall on the other.
 
It was important to give this space a transitory feel and create a sense of excitement and anticipation for those proceeding to 'Backstage', washing down the wall in a blend of changing colours and providing a spectacular ‘wow’ factor.
 
Lighting for the Backstage Bar and Green Room areas is more theatrical, indicating a change of mood and a complete contrast to the gallery, getting everyone vibed up for a great evening ahead.
 
The show and looks for all spaces were programmed and completed over an intense period of about three weeks. Once the project went live everything moved extremely quickly, with lighting equipment needed on-site in a very specific order to fit in with the construction schedule and some elements had to be sourced and supplied at very short notice to meet the deadlines for that section of the build.
