In 2019 we began a video project to document the “Fêtes des Vignerons”  Vevey Arena construction and technology .

20 visits to Vevey were made including attending one of the shows and having an Arena tour one afternoon. The festivity press office proved helpful.

But at the end of all this, two key features were missing from the videos — raising ramp and raising stairways — so the only solution was to build a working model which could be filmed and integrated into the real photography of the arena.

In order to accomplish all this (which took best part of two years!) a re-vamp of our workshop [which had become a storage room] was made for sanctuary and comfort in producing intricate parts for construction of the model.  

First construction video:  some of the intermediate phases of raising stairway construction, ending with integration into the arena photography. 

First video made after the arena visit:  the ramp.

Full construction video explaining many of the arena features and the model which results.
