    uniE621 BNP Paribas Davis Cup | 2015, 2016, 2018
    LTA British Tennis brought its flagship Tennis tournament to Glasgow on 4 different occassions. I was contacted by them to look after the venue Draping and High Level Rigging. The client briefed that they wanted to create a Black Box in the Emirates Arena to enhance the broadcast coverage of the event, I had to build a concept where by we would deliver on this. I worked with the Client and the Venue to realise their vision. In the latter stages I was also tasked with the rigging of the LED screens in the venue. During the later competitions I was also hired by the video company (who were also a client of mine) to be their Video Engineer onsite and manage the content being displayed on the screens in the venue.
