Brevard Drive In Movie

Iris Design partnered with Brevard Music Center to present a series of eight weekends of Drive-In Movie Nights in the parking lot of the Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium parking lot. In order to present the movies at the appropriate brightness we stacked two Barco 12,000 lumen projectors and converged them to create a 24,000 lumen projected image on a 35’ wide inflatable screen. Audio was presented over FM transmission.

Oskar Blues New Year's Eve Hootenanny

We rang in another new year with Oskar Blues Brewery in Brevard providing video projection and switching for this year's Hootenanny. The brewery opened up a new space to host the event this year and Iris Design projected the interactive Twitter and Instagram wall throughout the event plus the final countdown clock at midnight. It was a rockin’ evening and it's always a fun time working with the Oskar Blues staff.

Movie Classics on the Big Screen

As Brevard and the surrounding areas prepared for the once in a life time solar eclipse on August 21, the Brevard Music Center held a weekend of fun events to ring in the occasion. On two weekend nights leading up to the eclipse BMC showed the movies Apollo 13 and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

For the occasion we were tasked with providing a full audio and visual cinematic experience at the Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium on Brevard Music Center’s campus in Brevard. The 20' x 11' rear projection screen was the star of the show which was projected on by two Barco R12+ 12,000 lumen projectors converged for additional brightness and redundancy. Rounding out the video equipment included a Barco Screen Pro II seamless switcher/controller with dual computer playback for redundancy.

On the Audio side of things we built a mini ground stack of three d&b Q1 line arrays per side, d&b E3 front fills on edge of the stage, and two d&b B22 subs under the screen for additional low end (which provided that nice added rumble when the rockets took off in the films). All in all, a spectacular way to view a couple classic films and set the tone for the once in a life time event the following day.
