Children in Need 2008

For the 10th year running, Creative Technology were approached by the BBC to deliver the on-set LED screen for BBC’s 28th annual Children in Need televised appeal.
Having run since 1927 on Radio, and since 1955 on Television, Creative Technology added another memorable factor by using the NX-4mm for the first time in a UK TV Studio. The Barco NX-4mm is the latest in LED display technology using revolutionary black LED’s, delivering the deepest black levels of any product on the market.
The complex set, taking 3 days to build by Alex Craig, Production Designer, included Barco Blackface ILite 6BK, OLite 612, MiTRIX, and 12k projectors. This combination of display products coming together, made for a spectacular set and great showcase for CT's broad and diverse video inventory.
Taking place on Friday, 14th November, running throughout the evening until 2am, the show was a huge success with a variation of acts and routines including Girls Aloud, Sugar Babes, Ronan Keating and cameo appearances from the cast’s of Coronation Street and Eastenders.
With over £20,000,000 raised, Children in Need drew in record viewing figures making it an exciting spectacle for a very good cause.
