What it was

Cathay Pacific set up a pop-up for their 80th anniversary. It showed off their new Aria Suite business-class seats and their premium-economy seats, and it had a check-in desk in front of a departures board, a lounge, a shop and some games.

What I did

Load-in was overnight and outdoors. On the first night I built the LED wall brackets and helped build the LED wall. We were supposed to be there until 8am and got out at 5, which felt like a gift. The next night I built the second LED wall, and I helped program the walls.

I worked the VIP day on October 8, a 12-hour day, and ran audio for a day. Then I came back for the strike on the 10th, which was the same day as an early shoot for another job, so that one was basically a 24-hour day.

Outside the pop-up, a crowd gathers by curved teal walls with Cathay Pacific signage and an arched LED screen.
