Outdoor Projections for FHM magazine
Tom(FHM writer) was no Gail porter, but we had fun anyway
On a lovely spring evening earlier in the year, we linked up with FHM magazine to have some outdoor projection fun and help out with the editors challenge for the August edition
We prepared a 10k lumen projector(good enough for the locations we were targeting) and van ready to hit the streets of London. The meeting point turned out to be a photograghy studio in central London where we found Tom in superman pants writing slogans on his body with body paint. At this point we knew this would be one of the more memorable outdoor projections this year
Luckily, after the photographer had done his thing Tom put his clothes on and we hit the streets. No rain/dark night = perfect projector conditions
So basically the editiors challenge for the August edition was to have two writers battle it out to see who could become the most famous within a time period. Tom apparently needed to do something quick and remembered the whole FHM/Gale porter thing. That legendary building projection was one of the most succesful projection marketing stunts ever pulled of and Tom thought he could have a piece of that
We managed to get some great shots without making much of a fuss at the locations though as the article explains we got moved on from Big Ben pretty quick. Big Ben may well be the most projected onto building in the world and the security clock pretty fast
We're not sure how famous Tom actually got but we certainly attracted a lot of attention and had a lot of fun. The Editor called it a draw in the end as neither actually got into the papers. We think Tom should have won for the pants alone
If you need to hire a projector for outdoor use and building projections then please feel free get in contact. We have the experience and equipment to get you the best possible results

Do we only Hire Projectors?
Projector Hire is our main focus but we offer just about every Audio Visual Hire service that you could need for your event including Plasma Screens, P.A Sound systems, Lighting and even a DJ for your event- P.A Sound System Hire in London
We want to make your event special and have the experience to advise on the setup that will blow your audience away and leave them wondering how it was possible. We can project onto custom made surfaces and materials and have the projectors hidden. For a more interactive setup we could make the Projector be triggered via IR so when someone approaches the projection is set off(very good for halloween events).
If you are a VJ in need of Projector Hire in London or the UK then we would be more than happy to give advice as to the best setup. Projectors are the ideal choice for VJ's in nightclubs and bars as they give the biggest bang for the buck. As these enviroments tend to be on the darker side you don't always need the brightest projector in the world to get the desired results. For ease of installation we have introduced a new range of wireless Projectors to our Hire stock which certainly cuts down installation time and can save a lot of the hassle that goes along with installing cabling at venues. We have both VGA and composite video wireless solutions available
With regards to mounting projectors on hire there are many options available. When ceiling mounting projectors we would normally use cradles as they fully support the projector and are also fully adjustable. Cradles can be hung from truss frames, metal/wooden beams, attached to bars or for more permanent installations screwed into ceilings. We use metal wire and chains to support projectors when needed though on most truss frames and beams this method is usually not neccessary. Projector stands are also available to hire for more straight forward setups. We stock simple telescopic stands that can be easily adjusted and can also have side shelves attached for laptops and DVD players. This makes for easy wiring to the projector with short cables and no mess. Larger projectors can also be set on stands and for this we use twin poled plasma style stands with short poles
One of the most important variables of projector hire is lighting. The lighting conditions at the venue will always dictate the power of the projector that we would recommend for hire
