One Young World – Opening Ceremony

Published : 11:58 pm


“One Young World is the premier global forum for young people of leadership calibre. It manifests the reality of common humanity and the shared existence of all the peoples in one world. Its purpose is to connect and bring together the youngest and brightest and to ensure that their concerns, opinions and solutions are heard and taken into account by those in power.”




This is what One Young World is all about; young people having an opinion on current affairs and this was there chance to bring those opinions out into the open.  Over 800 delegates were invited to the UK from 34 countries to share in what was the first ever global summit for young people.




In February 2010, One Young World and White Light teamed up to deliver a fantastic Opening Ceremony in London’s Old Billingsgate Fish Market. White Light, the UK’s premier lighting supply company, brought in Adequately Average to provide Project Management and Lighting Design for this event.




Battling with sub-zero temperatures and the occasional flurry of snow outside, the whole Riverside end of Billingsgate was illuminated to not only welcome the delegates from their boats to inside but to also provide adequate cover for TV news crews and in-house video.




Once inside, delegates were greeted with a fantastic 14m wide, three-tiered stage lit with over sixty conventional ETC Source 4 profiles, six Clay Paky Alpha Wash 1200′s and ETC Source Pars.




Covering the 2000 strong audience, Lighting Designer Steve Richardson opted for more ETC Source Pars providing general illumination, and Vari-lite VL2000 profiles for gentle kinetic pattern work and stings for the various presenters and guests.

Love Never Dies – Opening Night Party

Published : 4:01 pm


Adequately Average teamed up with theatre producers The Really Useful Group and White Light, the UK’s leading supplier of lighting equipment, to celebrate the opening night of new West End musical Love Never Dies.




The theme for the evening was taken directly from the show itself, with London’s Old Billingsgate Market transformed into a fantastic fun-fair and beach as depicted by scenes set in Coney Island in the musical.




Lighting Designer Steve Richardson used a broad range of equipment including Varilite 500 Wash lights, Varilite 2000 spot moving lights, Source 4 profiles and Varilite 3500Q‘s sat outside in domes welcoming the guests into a lavish, red carpeted entrance way.  Also in use for the evening were White Light’s wireless battery powered LED uplighters; punching rich, saturated colours up walls and pillars throughout the venue and even an oversized circus canon!
