EVENT:
Governor Rowland’s Inauguration

CLIENT:
The State of Connecticut

OVERVIEW:
Event Resources was honored to produce Governor Rowland’s Inaugural Ceremony for his second term as Governor. We were given a challenge on this one – the charge to recreate the look of Gov. Rowland’s first Inaugural Ceremony from a four-year-old newspaper photo. It was a challenge our shop crew was up for, however. We successfully built a custom circular stage with curved staircases on either side, and a ramp entrance to the rear. Once that was completed, the other elements fell into place – sound support, a lectern, black folding chairs, theatrical lighting, and a press riser. We of course had to accommodate the press with mult boxes for audio feeds from our sound system, which enabled multiple parties to record directly from the system. We also built camera cut-away risers, which enabled camera operators to film from more than one angle. The finished product was an elegant affair in the Legislative Office Building whose aesthetics matched the stately sentiment communicated through the presence of Connecticut’s military services.
