RPM contracted 2Ci to provide live visuals for Strongbow’s bespoke arena that was present at all of the big festivals in the UK. In 2001 2Ci helped with a face lift the ‘The Loafing Lounge’ by installing projection equipment and creating visual content. Over the following years the level of hardware installed was increased, with plasmas and LEDs, a phenomenal sound system and a strong DJ line up. The name evolved as well, from ‘The Loafing Lounge’ to ‘The Strongbow Lounge’ and then ’The Strongbow Rooms’.
Each year a series of branded video graphics were created, and 2Ci’s real-time software Virtual VJ was loaded with logo’s, images and textures, which were all live mixed together with the video graphics library. 2Ci also provided visuals for numerous Strongbow events and festival arena’s, separate to the ‘The Strongbow Rooms’.
