scene2 gives Shell stand theatrical edge at Top Gear Live 2011
Monday, April 30th, 2012
Shell certainly stood out from the crowd at this years biggest “all action auto-entertainment event on earth” Top Gear Live. Here at Scene2 we were really excited to have produced this fully experieintal exhibition stand with our friends at JWT for the mighty Shell.
Car mad enthusiasts stopped in their tracks as they approached the Shell stand intrigued by what was going on behind the garage door?
The V-Power engine room’s closed, shiny, red roller shutter garage door expelled smoke, glaring headlights and thrilling sounds of a revving engine adding the Vroom into V-power.
Towers of tyres, printed track floor vinyl, branded oil drums, feather flags, shiny toolboxes, industrial wall lights and painted, formed brick walls flanked the door and enhanced the v-power experience for consumers as they stepped on set.
Interactive touchscreens, complete with headphones, were incorporated into the door for young and old to embark upon a tour of an F1 garage.
This really was a Preimum build stand for a Premium fuel.
You can see how we did it – take a look at our installation time-lapse blog entry dated 24.11.11.
Is “Gaffer Tape” the best piece of design in the world?
Thursday, April 26th, 2012
David Bailey has named Gaffer Tape as the best piece of design in the world.
How many of us in the design, film, TV, theatre or set construction business agree? Bailey claims it can do everything; over the years it has stuck million-dollar Panavision cameras together and gaffered down an eye-lid for a photo-shoot on his behalf.
We, like David Bailey, too love Gaffer Tape and applaud it’s ability to provide a solution to a multitude of problems.
The Observer Magazine this week is celebrating British Design to coincide with the V&A’s new retrospective – British Design 1948-2012:Innovation in the Modern Age. David Bailey’s, whilst naming Gaffer Tape as up there with Ferrari as design classics, expresses opinions on design which pose some interesting food for thought.
“Good design should be functional. It shouldn’t look good, it should work. Otherwise it’s art. You don’t want it to defeat it’s own purpose.”
At scene2 we believe that design is a solution to a problem. This could be function, visual appearance, desirability, experiential effectiveness; the creative brief is limitless. That is why we love what we do. Every creative brief that comes to us is different with it’s own set of problems to solve.
For Ron Arad, his favourite piece of design is the anglepoise lamp yet if he had to take one thing to a desert island it would be – a pencil. What’s your favourite piece of Design?

Converted Shipping Container for Experiential Activity – Great things to do with Shipping Containers #3
Monday, October 3rd, 2011Following on from our succesful creation of an exhibition stand for experiential activity in Westfield, Shepherds Bush in October 2010 we produced this fantastic experiential stand for Sense Marketing this summer to display Timberland’s Earthkeeper range @ the Cornbury Music Festival & Camp Bestival.
The experiential stand was self powered using a solar array provided by Firefly solar as well as solar panels cladding giant Timberland trees mounted on top of the roof terrace, smooth bikes which powered dynamos & bespoke designed & built log rolls providing power to the stand’s battery packs.
Arriving with 3 off 45ft trucks – 1 for the container, 1 for the dressing & panels & 1 for the skip viewing platforms we spent 3 days setting up & installing the stand.
Using a 45 foot shipping container as its basis we cut out 3 sides, strengthened the resulting unit and added additional steels to the front to create a 14m x 5m outdoor space.
The resulting structure was completely clad in timber to make it look like a solid, wooden building.
We then built a terrace ontop, accessed by a 2m wide wooden staircase providing stunning views of the festival sights and stages.
In front of the main building we built 2 bar areas with dye sublimated stretched roofs. these areas housed the Smoothie Bar & Tea Bar.
We also produced these customized viewing platforms created from rubbish skips; adding steps, a false floor covered with real turf & artificial flowers, railings, large cut outs of the Timberland logo & cutting holes to enable the converted skips to also be used as recycling points.
Experiential Environment for VEVO summer party
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011We were recently approached by Vevo to help them create an experiential area for their summer party to be held at altitude 360 in London.
We were asked to create plinths to hold various devices – iphones, ipads, blackberries, window phones & an Apple tv – in order for the client to demonstrate the various platforms that their application works on.
We were also comissioned to produce lift “wraps”, wall signage & a Step and Repeat board for guests to be photographed in front of as they entered into the party.

Having met the client at the venue & discussed various options we created a series of white acrylic plinths, each with internal red lighting, branding to their face and sitting on a branded floor vinyl.

The plinths stood at various different heights – 2m columns, 1m high “Bar” plinths, 450mm high table plinths to be used whilst seating & a long coffee table style plinth to sit between a sofa & the Apple TV.
Having successfully created installed & removed the elements we received the following testimony from our client:
“…..it was a big success and Ben & the crew where spot on and did a magnificent job. The Vevo App zone and the branding really came together and we got a lot of compliments. Thank you.”
Rotating Moon Prop
Monday, September 19th, 2011Earlier this year we created this polystyrene & fibreglass version of a moon for DWL & Waterstones for World Book Night.
Mounted on a stainless steel pole and rotating at slow speed this gave some added 3Dimensionality to the instore display.
Great things to do with shipping containers #2
Friday, September 2nd, 2011BDP’s Manchester studio partnered with the Manchester International Festival (MIF) to design Music Boxes – a musical playground designed for children aged 6 months to 7 years.
BDP’s Manchester Chairman Gavin Elliott and Design Associate Jasper Sanders designed a mini city of shipping containers which were constructed at MediaCityUK in Salford Quays, the new home of Children’s BBC in the UK.
The 78 steel units were stacked up to three high in an irregular pattern, eschewing the traditional logic of containers in linear rows to create an elliptical, enveloping shape.
This layout was developed deliberately by BDP to evoke the natural geometry and symmetry of sound, the serrated planes of spaces that receive and reflect sound, and the sculptural form making of minimalist artists such as Donald Judd and Richard Serra.
Other features evocative of shipping incorporated into BDP’s design concept include a sail-like canopy, formed from wire rigging and truck tarpaulins, suspended over the central area, in addition to giant, stencilled, super-graphic signage panels affixed to the ends of the containers.
Gavin Elliot said of the project: “We’re delighted to have worked with MIF on such a playful and creative project which will resonate both literally and figuratively within its surroundings.
“We’ve sought to ensure that the design captures the spirit of the shipping container as the ubiquitous tool of world trade and a true 20th Century icon.
“We also wanted to reflect both the industrial heritage of Salford Quays and the next chapter of its regeneration, which will see working docks return to the area some thirty years after the last ones closed.”
Festival Director Alex Poots said of Music Boxes: ““We’re committed to making high quality work for children, an area which can often be undervalued. We’re pleased to be collaborating with these fantastic artists, the BBC, Salford City Council and BDP on such an exciting, ambitious project.”
Once installed some containers became miniature performance spaces, some were specially customised recording and animation studios, while others were kitted out as interactive installations allowing the very young to explore a fantastical world of sound and music.
To create the Music Box installation, BDP worked closely with curator Rachel Clare of Crying Out Loud and George Woolley of Universal Containers. Music Boxes workshops and sessions for children ran throughout the 2011 Manchester International Festival (30 June to 17 July.)
Installation concept and design by BDP.
Music Boxes is commissioned by MIF Creative, BBC, Salford City Council and Abu Dhabi Festival, produced by Manchester International Festival and CBeebies, and supported by the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA).
