We worked backstage with Rod Morris and Interactive Originals in the lead up to the big music event 2009 Aria Awards, creation all the visual graphics used on the two big screens behind the stages and the dozen smaller ones and led curtain circling the main stage located in the center of Acer Arena in Homebush.

StudioEmotion created the graphics for the 2nd Annual Jack Awards which rocked the Seymour Centre in Sydney on Tuesday May 10th when it rolled out the black carpet in celebration of the Australian live music industry.
The 800 industry guests were treated to masses of free booze courtesy of Jack Daniels but also to some damn fine live performances from local acts such as Eskimo Joe, The Living End, Spiderbait, The Cops, and an “All Star Jam” featuring Katy Steele (Little Birdy), Andy Strachan (The Living End), Ben Ely (Regurgitator) and Justin Burford (End Of Fashion).
Eskimo JoeOn the awards front, Eskimo Joe picked up the big award for Best Band, which surprised many who were expecting Jet to clean up. Special international guest Tommy Lee (Motley Crue) presented the award to the highly chuffed band while he also presented the Best Drummer Award to Kram from Spiderbait.
Other winners included: Phil Jamieson – Grinspoon (Best Male), Katy Steele – Little Birdy (Best Female), Chris Cheney – The Living End (Best Lead Guitar), Scott Owen – The Living End (Best Bass Guitar), Missy Higgins (Best Newcomer) and Homebake was awarded the Gentleman Jack Award. Some of the antics displayed by the presenters on the night also deserved awards.
Katy SteeleTommy Lee made a grand entrance when he showered the crowd with the contents of his two water pistols – which, you guessed it, contained Jack Daniels. Sarah McLeod must have been on the receiving end of a mouthful judging by her lively presentation of the best female award to Katy Steele (Little Birdy). And Glenn A Baker’s never-ending speech seemed to coincide with the night’s peak toilet break period. Meanwhile, host Jabba mocked Sydney’s Wolfmother all night after they walked away without a single award – despite receiving multiple nominations.
With over 110,000 votes cast in this publicly voted event, it showed that the Australian live music scene is crackling with passion, energy and innovation. The Awards will be back in 2006.
Working with ‘Steve Gorrows’ and ‘The Revolution’ we created the new ‘Powderfinger’ Website to support the launch of their new Album “Vulture Street”. This preceded an animated invitation to the song “(Baby I’ve Got You) On My Mind.” (nominated best music video & song of the year)
Due to success of the website and e-marketing campaign we also created the visuals that played behind the band at the 2005 Aria Awards. I received a SMS message on the night from the Managing Director of ‘The Revolution’, ‘Paul Wilson’ that simply read “That was #%€¥!@$ Awsome.” Job well done I say.
Interactive Originals provided the content control and playback delivery system onto 3 uniquely shaped screens for the 17th Annual ARIA Awards – broadcast live around Australia by Network TEN.
