U2360: Awarded Best British Authored Disc 2011

We are incredibly honoured and excited to announce that The Pavement won the award for Best British Authored Disc at the BVA Awards 2011 on Thursday 5th May at the Old Billingsgate market black-tie event. The award is recognition for the disc produced for U2 and their 360 Tour Live at the Rose Bowl that was released in 2010.

The BVA judges comments hit the mark singing praises for the exceptional features and graphics:
“Great graphics and the BD Live is amazing. This is a true resource for fans. It is great to see at title using BD Live, which was a specific feature of the format. Fans will have the patience to set up the connection to the internet. Obviously, a lot of graphics and content work went into this title. Great navigation – incredible design and high production values plus loads of extras.
World class authoring, graphics, UI logic and usability all contribute to near-perfect marks. Sound and pictures very well encoded and plenty of bonus content, with BD-Live too. Almost the perfect Blu-ray!”

Andy Evans, The Pavement’s MD credits the team involved on this exception Blu-Ray production. “The U2 Blu-ray and DVD was an great collaborative experience working with every part of U2’s production team whilst on tour: Whizz Kid, Principle Management and Universal – Mercury Records. Special thanks go out to Ned O’Hanlon, Cheryl Engels, Brian Celler, Fiona Friel, as well as our whole team at The Pavement and Imagion for their great BD-Live tools for really pulling out the stops to ensure that this project was flawless, innovative and hit the shelves on time. It was an amazing experience and fans will be delighted with the final outcome.”
