It’s really refreshing to do a long term installation project…..
Sometimes the hardest thing about being part of the events industry is the ‘here today & gone tomorrow’ nature of most events. Months in the planning stage, days in the construction & production stage and then mere hours to stage the actual event, and then you pull it all apart again. So when we were approached by Tyrrell’s Wines to produce a window display for Shield Street Cellars, Cairns for their Rufus Stone brand I did a little happy dance. LOL We were working with their ‘freak of nature’ branding and the objective was to reproduce their logo as a window display which would remain in place for about a month. Thanks to All Copy Printing & Signs for providing the decal. These are the day time shots of the installation…. evening shots still to come.

There’s nothing like setting up a wedding under a clear-span marquee on a rainy and humid weekend to really test the tenacity of your AV & themeing technicians. LOL (Anyone who’s had this particular experience will tell you that it’s very similar to working in a sauna.) The marquee was courtesy of Underwoods Party Hire, table dressing by Wedding Treasures, lighting/AV by BBAV and the event was held on Sprigs Lawn at the lovely Novotel Rockford Resort, Palm Cove. The end result was magical and definately worth the sweat and tears. LOL

We welcomed our visitors from ‘across the ditch’ with open arms on Friday 16th & Saturday 17th April. 8 of New Zealand’s top PCOs enjoyed the hospitality of the Rydges group of properties, including Rydges Esplanade, Tradewinds, Plaza & Sabaya.
A progressive dinner was part of their TNQ adventure on Friday and then they headed off to Port Douglas to sample the sights and enjoy a dinner in the “Enchanted Rainforest” at Rydges Sabaya.
It was our great pleasure to provide themeing and audiovisual services for all events.

It’s been a huge couple of weeks for the BBAV team. Our Techs have worked themselves into the ground and we’re soooo proud of their consistently fantastic attitudes and professional performance.
We think they’re pretty amazing, and it’s nice to know our clients echo that sentiment… Great work guys!
Hi Liam
Just wanting to let you know what a great job Andy and Ollie did last week. The feedback has been fantastic and it was great to work with such a professional team.

It’s high time that I returned to the world of the BBAV Blog. My apologies for my long absence, but work has had to take priority over everything else. Even eating and sleeping for the last few months. LOL
We’ve had a swag of excellent events during my absence and here are a couple of snaps of the Convention Centre Roadshow FAMIL held at TANKS Arts Centre on Friday Oct 30th. We had the great pleasure of creating a magical adventure around the iconic TANKS set to the theme of Alice in Wonderland. (it seemed very fitting with the Tim Burton re-make coming out in March 2010)

What a night it was! The opening night of the Pernod Ricard Australia 2009 Conference was held poolside at Grand Mercure Palm Cove. Did you know that they have the biggest above-ground pool in Australia?! (learn something new everyday. LOL) We “got our Island on” with Malibu. James Tobin from Ch 7′s Sunrise was on board to MC the festivities.
Get Your Island On!

Well, it’s not everyday that we get to play host to one of the top rock acts in the country.
Wolfmother took to the stage for a private acoustic gig at Novotel Rockford Palm Cove a couple of weeks ago and we were there to ensure that their sound was sensational.
What a terrific bunch of guys. Great musicians and a lot of fun.
Wolfmother rock out live!

Once again Bright Black AV joined in the antics of the Mayor’s Charity Golf Day held at Half Moon Bay Golf Club, Yorkeys Knob on Friday 22 May. The Bright Black AV team took up the sponsorship of the 3rd Hole and set about testing the teams with Pictionary and Charades challenges. There was some serious slicing off the Tee, a lot of good natured sledging and plenty of liquid refreshment. A great day was had by one and all. See you again next year!!!
Pictionary is not our speciality! LOL

Our first event at historic Freshwater Station, where you can catch a ride on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, enjoy a bite to eat and browse the gift shop, was a shining success.
Working with the fabulous team from A-List Events, the quaint locale was the perfect setting for a black tie gala dinner, where the guests arrived and departed by train.
Quaint historic location creates the perfect backdrop for formal dinner

We’re excited! With new audiovisual and themeing equipment arriving daily, we’ve needed to purchase another transport vehicle.
So the original work truck now has a big brother. For our clients, this means we’re able to move more equipment more efficiently. For our team, this means hassle-free loading, delivery and collection.
With 4 vehicles now in the Bright Black AV fleet the garage is a little on the crowded side. But it’s allowing us to better service our clients and that’s what we’re all about!
A new addition to the family.
