All Access Captures Parnelli Award for Set Construction Company of the Year
All Access Staging & Productions, a top company in the touring industry, wins a Parnelli award for construction of the the Rascal Flatts set.
Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) October 26, 2006 -- All Access Staging & Productions, Inc. was awarded the prestigious Parnelli Award for Set Construction Company of the Year for their touring stage for Rascal Flatts.
Designed by fellow Parnelli winner Bruce Rodgers of Tribe, Inc., the Rascal Flatts "Me and My Gang" set is a "3D immersive experience" of nearly 300 LED video tiles that play a variety of images and effects. The impressive "Halo" structure flies 225 of these tiles in a 40' diameter circle on custom aluminum frames designed by All Access. "We presented three options to the band, all based around LED video imagery," said Rodgers. "In the end, they went with the most daring of the three ideas. All Access went way beyond the call of duty to make this difficult challenge a reality."
The Parnelli was accepted by All Access CEO, Clive Forrester and president, Erik Eastland. "I'd like to first thank Bruce Rodgers for bringing us this challenging project," said Eastland. "The real credit goes to our staff, including Bob Hughes, Dave Agar, Andy Perrin, Dana Roofener and especially Robert Achlimbari – everyone really came through."
The Parnelli Award www.parnelliawards.com is the industry's highest honor for live event professionals. The award recognizes pioneering, influential professionals and their contributions, honoring both individuals and companies. The Parnelli is also about moving the industry forward with the same qualities that defined the person for whom it is named – Rick "Parnelli" O'Brien, an extraordinary production manager and human being. The award is presented annually at the Lighting Dimensions International Show, and is sponsored by Projection, Lights & Staging News and Front of House magazines.
