Bytecraft Entertainment provided lighting and LED Screens for the FIFA International Fan Fest held at Darling Harbour and Tumbalong Park
Offering soccer fans a central site to meet and enjoy pre and post game entertainment as well as the opportunity to watch all the action live on four Superscreens, Darling Harbour was full of football fever as Aussie fans cheered on their favorite teams. Lighting Designer Mark Hammer was charged with the responsibility of lighting the floating stage, 2 side barges, floating football pitch, various sponsor areas, as well as site wide effect lighting. Mark's design criteria was not only performance based but he also had to consider the reliability of fixtures that would continue to work when installed outdoors for six weeks during winter. As the site was operational 24 hours a day for over a month Bytecraft had a rotating crew of sixteen technicians to cover the lighting and screens, headed up by Project Manager Michael Webber.
