description

As the first awards show of its kind, the Streamer Awards showcases the achievements of web-based artists and performers. For its second annual event, the show was staged at the historic Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, CA, where set design called for slick, contemporary touches to evoke traditional Hollywood glamour with a modern twist.

We worked with our partners at Katapult Events to create the perfect plug-and-play thematic elements for this groundbreaking show. The pièce de résistance was a grand staircase composed of eight segments, built in our shop and numbered for swift reassembly at the venue. The staircase lit up the night with diffused acrylic kickers and integrated customizable LED lighting that was tied to show control for color changes throughout the performance. In addition, an arched aluminum backdrop composed of seven seamless segments added depth and additional lighting opportunities behind presenters.

Dan and his team at Downtown FabWorks were able to fully produce and execute a largescale structure thoughtfully and in record time when my project’s deadline was threatened by Hurricane Ida. I couldn’t be more appreciative of Dan’s professionalism and hard work during a very stressful and uncertain time. Dan and his team were a joy to work with!
