Large-Scale AV Presentation Services
For almost 50 years, BL&S has had the opportunity to present festival-quality movies in the most unusual locations around the world, from a wharf in Qatar to a boulevard outside the Colosseum in Rome to Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre. Studios, film directors, event producers, and technical directors trust Boston Light & Sound® to design and integrate screening spaces of all kinds to their exacting standards for movie premieres, film festivals, post-production review rooms, product reveals, and special screening events.
BL&S delivers world premiere quality presentations nearly anywhere you can imagine. When planning a movie premiere or festival screening in an unconventional locale, BL&S identifies and addresses the challenges inherent to the setting, handling everything from designing the systems to coordinating trades, installing equipment, and providing on-site support to ensure a flawless event. Our veteran staff can solve acoustical issues, adapt for ambient light, and provide technical solutions for any size location.
BL&S is known for finding inventive ways of transforming spaces of all types into world-class theatres. Our team designs, builds, and staffs specialized projection and sound systems for your unique location. We’ve screened films in everything from auditoriums and conference rooms to vineyards, ballparks, tents, and even on a boat. For decades, we’ve also worked in many historic locations, ensuring that our equipment preserves the architectural and aesthetic integrity of the venue.
Having presented hundreds of films around the world, we can also handle logistics if your location requires international travel or sensitive clearance. Our experience includes projects in Australia, the Middle East, Versailles, the Karl Marx Theatre in Cuba, the UN General Assembly, and the Shrine Auditorium.
Supporting the Dolby vision projection system included meeting unique power requirements and providing special chillers for high-power laser equipment as well as specialty projection booth design and fabrication. BL&S installed its proprietary shaker screen system, which was designed to allow images of 70' wide or more to achieve ideal brightness specifications on large screens. This unique system reduces the “speckle” artifacts that occur with laser projectors on very large screens.
The team worked closely with Dolby and the audio and rigging vendors to implement a speaker layout that would deliver audio coverage to Dolby Atmos specifications across the vast seating area. To deaden the sound in the large balcony area, the team positioned extra-large acoustical fabric.
The details paid off. The client was thrilled with the premiere. “The audience reaction was amazing, and being in that room with thousands of people seeing the biggest movie of the year for the first time was truly special,” said Cinema Installation & Production Services Department Manager Sean McKinnon.
