This is the 10th year that Comtec Presentations have worked with this client. Comtec produced a slick awards ceremony, on time and on budget. This year we worked in a new state of the art venue with Hi Definition nominee footage and live action cameras projected on a large screen for the audience present in the room. However the needs of the BBC were very much incorporated into the staging design and lighting, as the event was to be broadcast the following weekend to an international audience of millions. Comtec worked with their director and cameramen to ensure the best results for all the crews different needs and ensured the smooth running of the event.
The One World Trust recognises and awards the best coverage of the developing world, across all media - so the event had to be high quality for people who know and work within the broadcasting industry. The thirteen winners were recognised in the awards hosted by Jon Snow, who hotfoots it straight from the Channel 4 newsroom onto stage, so no time for presenter rehearsals, it just has to be right.
