After having rigged numerous aerial entries and acts for Star Vijay for their Super Singer Junior Finale, Vijay Film Awards and The Vijay Television Awards. Natura again collaborated with Star Vijay to bring in aerial experience to Vijay Television Awards.
This year for VTV Awards Superstars Pavini & Ashwin and Ramya & Stalin needed to make dramatic aerial entries. Their entries were for the pre-shoot and not the live airing of the show.
While rigging up aerial entries is a fairly regular ordeal for Natura, but for this one they needed to do three entries – one with the stars descending on a metal frame shaped like a half-moon, another on a giant swing and the last one was supposed to be on a throne.
The moon and swing entries went off smoothly, but Natura team could not pull of the throne as the prop had no anchor points, this posed to be quite unsafe and Natura decided to shun the idea.
During the rigging up of the props team Natura also realzied that the hanging light bars were in the way of cables! Changing the entire arrangement was another challenge.
The team then slogged it out with 30 hours of non-stop work on the set of the pre-shoot and we were finally done in the wee hours of the morning.
As they say what could go wrong did, but we worked around the clock and made sure the Star Vijay guys was thrilled with the output. Their appreciation email right after the show was really worth all the effort – “It's indeed our pleasure to have you as our technical partners. You guys are the best in delivering to our needs. Our relationship will have no end. Thank you guys.” – said, Venkatesh Ramchandran from the Natura team.
