SINGAPORE – (September 25, 2015) – Christie® Boxer projectors lit up the Singapore skyline with myriad spectacular visuals that enthralled tens of thousands of spectators who attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix on September 20, 2015. The eye-catching projection mappings were planned and executed by Christie’s rental staging partner Hexogon Solution Pte Ltd, which were responsible for lighting up iconic structures and historical buildings around the five-kilometer nighttime city street circuit.
“The annual Formula One night race is one of the most anticipated international sports events to be staged in Singapore and we are committed to deliver memorable digital projections that showcase Singapore as a beautiful and vibrant city to audiences across the globe,” commented Adrian Goh, managing director, Hexogon Solution. “This is why we have chosen the Christie Boxer 4K30 projector for an event of this scale. It offers stable performance, is easier to monitor, delivers excellent brightness, and has a small footprint. We are now able to do more with fewer projectors and achieve better resolution.”
The task of installing and setting up the Christie Boxers, along with all other architectural lighting fixtures, took the Hexogon Solution team slightly more than a month to complete. The projectors and architectural lightings were deployed at 16 locations around the racetrack, including the National Gallery of Singapore, Victoria Theatre, Civilian War Memorial, Gardens By The Bay, Esplanade Theatre and Singapore Flyer.
The Hexogon team also put together stunning content that was shown on the Merlion statue and Marina Bay Floating Platform, which included visuals of the Singapore flag when the National Anthem was played.
Elaborating on the significance of this project, Goh said, “All our installations had been designed for maximum TV exposure to highlight stunning views of the city state from helicopters featuring the central business district skyline, so every second of TV exposure counts. We had to ensure that the lighting and projection systems were stable and performing at their best when the TV camera panned across the entire area to capture panoramic views. I’m glad that everything went well and the race organizers are happy with the results at the various venues.”
