Calgary’s Stephen Avenue Celebration site – London 2012 Olympics

Stephen Avenue Celebration Site

It all started with the opening ceremonies at the London 2012 Olympics on July 27th. Visitors to Stephen Avenue Mall were treated to two weeks of exciting CTV and TSN  Olympic coverage, on ColossoVision’s Mobile Screen. Spectators taking a break from work, shopping, and other activities, truly enjoyed having our screen there to cheer on Team Canada.

ColossoVision would like to thank the Downtown Calgary Association for the opportunity to provide our services for this very special event. Our Barco B10 LED mobile screen proved to be the right technology for this application. For the first week of the games our screen was located adjacent to Bankers Hall. The screen now engages audiences on the 100 block between 1st Street SE and Center Street for the final week. Moving the screen was simple and completed within a very short time.

ColossoVision provided the following for
the Celebration Zone.

  • Barco B10
  • Satellite system for programming
  • Media sever
  • 1000 watt P.A. system

How Sweet it Was! Calgary 2012 Sweet City Celebrations.

It was an eclectic night of performances displaying the vast diversity of culture that has earned Calgary the “ Cultural Capital of the World “ . Calgary 2012’s Sweet City Celebrations held at the BMO Center at Stampede Park was the site for this incredible event. Three stages were busy with Circus Artists, Living Statues, Bollywood Dancers, Luchadors, DJ’s , Roughneck Dancers, and well over a 150 performers. The highlight of the evening was the performance by the Stampeders.   Hats off to a wonderful job by the Calgary 2012 committee.

ColossoVision provided Three video Walls for this event.

  • Main back line screen – ST18 VisuaLED
  • Creative circular suspended screen – ST18 VisuaLED
  • Front of House fill – Barco Dlite
  • Tricaster HD850

ColossoVision provided the screens, but PK Sounds Paul Magnuson created the eye candy / VJ visuals which were stunning!

One final comment! I would like to thank the committee for locating the food truck next to our video world! This made the dash to dine a very nice experience.
