samsound Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 dear all, a question that always bugs me, the large ice skating rink on dancing on ice has a very nice clear image and video on it. Is is projected? if so how do they make it to fit and design the images that go onto it! Cheers Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Projected from above, using multiple projectors (certainly used to be Christie units) edge blended. There is another topic with more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumP93 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just a quick search online brought this up - http://www.live-production.tv/case-studies/tv-shows/christie-powers-dancing-ice.html, I originally thorght It was from behind the ice but seems I was wrong.

david.elsbury Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yep - the technology and the infrastructure behind ice rinks is quite something, there's all sorts below the surface of the ice to keep it chilled properly, no change to shine an image through it from below and have the result they get.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitlane Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 A recent Facebook status from one of my recent students. "Just been stripping a projector 12m above the ice at DOI, but Martin and I brought it back to life!" He works for Anna Valley Displays Ltd (along with a few more of our graduates) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I knew it used to be Anna Valley, but my main contact left ( if anyone knows where Rich Grafton is now drop me a PM), so wasn't certain it was still with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterejones79 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hi Guys, Anna Valley Displays has provided 9 Christie Roadster Projectors this year, as well as Hi Res LED and other video elements. The Projection is 4 double stacks of Christie 16K Roadsters, with an additional 12k Roadster for the Skate on area. We use Roadster projectors as they are the only ones we've found which have a bubble designed to work pointing vertically downwards. I've taken over project managing this for Anna Valley displays this year. Many Thanks Pete Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
