Transformation Tuesday: Virginia Film Festival Wrap Party

Greetings from The AV Company

Welcome to our seventh installment in our Transformation Tuesday series! This month, we thought we'd share with you our work for the Virginia Film Festival's Late Night Wrap Party! The party was held at the Main Street Arena last month, and our goal with this event was to capture the fresh, energetic spirit that encompassed all of the events surrounding the festival.

Take a look at how we transformed the arena using our custom chandelier clusters, a fabric divider, and some fun lighting and projection content!

Transformation Tuesday: Opening Night Gala

Greetings from The AV Company!

Welcome to our sixth installment in our Transformation Tuesday series! A couple of months ago, we showed you how we transformed the Jefferson Theater for a Virginia Film Festival event back in 2012. For this year's Opening Night Gala, we took it up a notch using some new tools.

The goal for this event was to capture the essence of the setting for the festival's opening film, Big Stone Gap. We decided to do so by mapping the interior of the Jefferson with projected video! We utilized autumnal imagery that depicted some of rural Virginia's natural surroundings, as well as some geometric animation for a change of tone as the event went on. We also made sure to highlight the architectural features of the space that make this venue so unique.

Transformation Tuesday: Jefferson Theater

Greetings from The AV Company!

Welcome to our fourth installment in our Transformation Tuesday series! This week we'll be looking at a space with loads of Charlottesville character, the Jefferson Theater. The theater was established in 1912 as a live performance theater that hosted silent movies, vaudeville acts, and a historic list of performers. Though frequently used for concerts today, this theater has the potential to be transformed into the perfect venue for many types of events!

Take a look at how we were able to transform the space for a gala a couple of years ago. With the help of some projected film stills and patterns and some fun, energetic lighting, the Jefferson becomes a fantastic setting for the Virginia Film Festival's opening night festivities!
