Cambridge Community Church - Breathe 2007
Anagram have provided equipment and technical advice for local charity, Cambridge Community Church (C3), for some time. This year their regular 'Breathe' conference was moving into a bigger venue, Cambridge Corn Exchange. This is a large multi-purpose space (1400+ capacity). In previous years we had simply provided some equipment and expertise to supplement their own capability, but this year was a much larger production, so we were providing most of the equipment and technical crew.
We provided an audio solution based around a pair of Yamaha M7CL-48 digital mixing desks for FOH and monitors and a flown d&b Q1 line array. The fully digital desk solution made switching between the house band and guest artists such as Graham Kendrick straightforward.
The lighting design incorporated Robe 575AT moving-yoke profiles, AC Tourwash 575 moving-yoke washlights and a variety of PAR cans and other conventional fixtures controlled by a Chamsys MQ100. Visual interest was provided by a number of white flats suspended asymmetrically at the back of the stage. These could be lit to give texture and colour in the large 'black box' space.
A complete video solution based around 2 x Sanyo XP57 projectors and an Analogue Way Centrix switcher/scaler was supplied. This was fed with text and graphics from PCs and a 2 camera shoot.
C3 were delighted with the results we achieved for them and the event was a resounding success!
