You need to create a professional stage backdrop. What materials should you use?

Para criar um cenário, é essencial estudar o local, planejar a programação e garantir o melhor posicionamento. Além disso, é crucial considerar o tema e o estilo do evento ao selecionar os materiais do palco, visando harmonia, segurança e durabilidade para contribuir com a experiência do público. Ao definir a iluminação, o som e a disposição dos elementos cênicos, é possível criar uma atmosfera envolvente e impactante. Portanto, cada aspecto deve ser cuidadosamente planejado e executado para garantir o sucesso do evento e a satisfação do público presente.

Consider the purpose of your event and what kind of experience you wish to create for the audience. Different backdrop fabrics have their own set of characteristics and it’s important to choose the material that best suits your event. Standard Premium Backdrops are available in a variety of materials and provide a good surface for projecting light effects and images. The most popular material is a knitted polyester fabric which is ideal for frontlit applications and folds into an easily transportable package. These are ideal for textile banners, wall graphics, seat covers and use in tension frame systems.

The first important point is to analyze the objective of the event. Secondly, consider whether the client wants to include any corporate colors. Optimizing space is crucial in any project, and the intelligent selection of materials plays a fundamental role in this process. By choosing lightweight yet durable materials, we can maximize the efficiency of the available space. It is very important to opt for recycled or sustainable materials, as we are not only optimizing physical space but also contributing to environmental preservation. The combination of these two approaches allows us to create functional, aesthetic, and environmentally friendly spaces

Fabric options are always a safe and cost-effective choice to consider. When paired with lighting, the customization options are virtually limitless! You can add color, visual texture, etc. and really make a statement, or keep as subdued and simple as you would like.

It's important to seek maximum customization of the backgrounds. Let's not forget to use paint that is suitable but always environmentally friendly.

It's important to carefully analyze the need for the number of screens we should place, especially if it's an open space or with columns. An LED screen is one of the best visual instruments for capturing the audience's attention. Choosing the right LED screen is crucial and varies depending on the type of event. Aspects such as format, space size, or the distance it will be exposed to the public are some of the key factors we need to consider.

If the venue scenic view is really surreal, try conceptualizing by integrating that scenic view as your backdrop, can take the visual appeal of your set to next level. Like, one time, we used a 500 year old African baobab tree as the main hero element for stage backdrop in an outdoor concert.

Lighting is a critical element of an event. It can be the difference between blah and boring, or mesmerizing and memorable! It can transform plain backdrops into eye catching focal points. With the addition of lighting effects, the possibilities are endless! But how do you choose the right lighting? You will need to consider the theme as a whole, imagery, colors, and mood, but there are other details of importance. For example: Will there be video recording or IMAG taking place, time of day, location (presence or absence of natural light), rigging needs, electrical availability, etc. There are certainly many things to take into consideration when choosing lighting effects. Good communication with your AV professional will ensure success.

Keep researching about the industry trend & different lighting fixtures. For instance, I had a great time using programmable LED Light bars in some corporate events, gave a whole different appeal & usage of it depends upon the creativity.

If we want to organize sustainable events, it is crucial to consider the type of materials we use throughout the event's decoration. Opting for recycled, biodegradable, or sustainably sourced materials can significantly reduce the environmental impact of our activity. Furthermore, by carefully choosing materials, we can promote more responsible and conscious practices in the events industry, contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet."

Sustainability is key! One sustainable option we love to do is using flowers that are designed without floral foam, as it is not biodegradable. Post -event we work with a local compost company to either pick up the flowers from the installation or drop the flowers off in compost bags.

- Usage of pipes & drapes: Using adjustable upright poles and crossbars that support fabric panels help in making the setup modular & allows for easy installation and customization of backdrop size and shape. Quite commonly used for events where quick setup and dismantling are required. - Usage of Wood or Metal Frames: For a more permanent scenario, wood or metal frames can be used. It also helps in supporting various materials as mentioned in the above. These frames provide stability and can be customized to fit the design theme of the event.
