AUSTRALIA: The work of the Technical Direction Company (TDC) for Vivid Sydney 2015 has been recognised with a nomination at the Australian Event Awards. The company provided edge mapping techniques and core video technology across an unprecedented 10km distance as the festival expanded into Chatswood and Central Park inner-city precincts, earning a nomination for ‘Best Technical Achievement and Innovation’.
Described as ‘the largest festival of light, music and ideas in the Southern hemisphere’, Vivid Sydney 2015 took place over the course of three weeks between May and June. TDC worked with Destination NSW, the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, as well as various artists for each installation. The company provided almost 9,000 sq-m of video projected over 10 buildings in Sydney.
‘Being shortlisted for this award is very exciting. A crucial ingredient to the innovation at Vivid Sydney 2015 and its success was made possible by our technical and production teams,’ commented TDC managing director Michael Hassett.
Winners of the awards will be announced at a ceremony on November 17th, 2015 at Doltone House in Pyrmont, Sydney.
