The CES Keynote speeches are a highlight to an already overwhelming media experience. The Comcast Keynote address was no small task. To achieve the multimedia display desired, ShowTx and Broadstreet reached into the realm of “digital film” to be able to interface the 4K images of the “Dark Night” trailer, as well as other created media, into the CES projection package. Kudos to all who took on the new “challenges and capabilities” as an opportunity to “try new things”. From the Media review in SLC, and Mock-up rehearsals in Philly, it seemed this hour of presentation would never stop ballooning – but the end result was one of the fastest moving and most visually entertaining keynotes of the entire event. CEO Brian Roberts was joined by Ryan Seacrest for portions of his address and the Flight of the Conchords added a touch of eclectic humor. Thanks everyone!
