Scenic Systems That Work Well With Branded Gobos

Looking for backdrops or systems that you can project your favorite Gobos onto? Our white framed stretch fabric systems such as the Bradford Panels, Triosks, Bullhorns, Leaves and Shark Fins are very light friendly systems. Don’t forget our basic 3, 4 and 5 point sails and large Cyc wall treatments. These panels can be flown anywhere on stage and the white stretch design serves as a perfect screen for projected light. Even our Cy-Tower Panels with it’s translucent finish captures brilliant logo and theme effects. Here are a few set examples that turned an ordinary set into a branded phenomena.

Corporate Theater Snapshots

You don’t need a massive budget to produce a striking event. See how our clients creatively blended our most popular modular structural systems to make their project a smash success!

Firefly Syndicate

Here’s a very striking set produced from a long term client, Tim Byer, Executive Producer from Firefly Syndicate of Deer Park, California. Using multiple set elements from CDP Tim customized his set with two 14’ Triosks center stage, flanked with tiered 1’ and 2’ Nex System towers. Offstage directly behind the set are two

12’ x 10’ Box Truss frames with white stretch fabric inserts and 1’ Nex System tower extensions to tie in the entire set. Although Tim is no stranger to the business his humble nature wouldn’t allow him to take all the credit. In addition to the rental components from Concept Design Productions Tim would like to thank two industry partners for their creativity and professionalism. Amber Stinebrink the scenic designer for the show was the key to their creativity and Bay Area Event Photography produced some striking photos of their radiant set. As you can see good partnerships are the recipe for successful events. Always a pleasure to do business with you Tim!

ETA

You Bradford Panel lovers are going to appreciate this set. With the challenge of designing around multiple screens Jeff Robertson, President of ETA in Marietta, Georgia found a solution with our classic Bradford Panels. Using a selection of 16’, 8’ and 4’ Bradford Panel components Jeff created an enormous screen surround using the entire stage as his base.

At a fraction of the cost he added our unique Bradford Panel overlays made from 1/4” Black Sintra onto the towers. With the combination of smart technical backlighting and a clean well balanced set Jeff was able to produce a creative backdrop without distracting from the message of the presentation. Great job Jeff!
