Corona: London welcomes 2021 with Claypaky and Elation

London welcomed 2021 with a city-wide display, sending a message of thanks and hope to the nation and the world. Global brand experience agency Jack Morton helped to develop the original concept and worked in partnership with the Mayor of London’s office and a dedicated team of experts to create the experience.

The 10-minute show, designed for home-viewing and created in collaboration with the BBC, was broadcast live on BBC1 and watched by a global viewing audience of millions. Jack Morton’s creative show team worked in collaboration with On the Sly for the music production, Titanium Fireworks for the pyrotechnics design, and Skymagic for the swarm drone sequences.

Lighting for the event was designed by Durham Marenghi with Paul Cook as Associate LD and programmer and the array of 168 Claypaky Mythos 2 and 168 Elation Proteus Hybrids on London Bridge was supplied by Lights Control Rigging and managed by Rob Watson.

Durham called on the expertise of ER lasers, the Signify team and Illuminated River project, Armadillo and Tower Bridge, Stadium FX at Wembley and the Woodroffe Bassett team at the Shard to integrate the city-wide effects into a light show to herald what will hopefully be a far better New Year for all.
