TDC Shortlisted For Two Event Technology Awards

SYDNEY - Aug. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Recognising the innovative use of technology at events and it’s brightest stars, the Event Technology Awards (http://www.eventtechnologyawards.co.uk/shortlist-2015/) has selected TDC as a finalist in the Best Use of Projection Mapping category for their impressive work at Vivid Sydney 2015 (http://www.tdc.com.au/vivid-2015) as well as Favourite Event Technology Supplier - The People’s Choice Award category.

Technical Direction Company returned to Vivid Sydney 22 May to 8 June 2015. With an opening weekend attended by more than a quarter of a million people, the 18-day festival saw TDC provide video expertise in cutting edge mapping techniques and key video technology across an unprecedented 10km distance as the festival expanded into new Chatswood and Central Park precincts.

Michael Hassett, Managing Director of TDC, said: “We’ve worked with Destination NSW on Vivid Sydney for four years now, and it was so great to see the huge public appreciation and genuine delight that is experienced each year as the festival has evolved. We are proud to have collaborated with the creative talent of the artists that Destination NSW brought together this year to develop the wonderful animations.”

From a technology perspective, it was large in terms of the equipment required across several sites. "Vivid Sydney requires careful planning by skilled staff including design and mappings of the buildings to enable artists and designers to plan their animations,” explains Olin Winton, Technical Manager at TDC. “The artists we teamed up with this year made this process simple and enjoyable,” he says.

TDC is the only Australian-owned company selected as a finalist.

The prestigious event takes place at a glittering ceremony at Supernova, London UK on 11 November 2015.
