Organized by Russia’s popular station Love Radio and Brothers Entertainment Production Company, the show was directed by Anastasia Sinelnikova, with executive producer Svetlana Voronova.
“As the Big Love Show was a continuous mash-up of dance we had to keep it unique and interesting at all times,” says Gerasimov. “We therefore needed universal, powerful fixtures with a rich colour palette and wide range of effects, which is why we turned to Clay Paky.”
Konstantin rigged the B-EYEs and Alpha Spot 1500s in 426 meters of girders along the walls of the vast SC Olympisky.
“By positioning the Clay Paky fixtures here, we were able to create amazing visual effects with a great deal of ease,” continues Gerasimov. “The intensity, zoom, and of course effects all combine to make these products some of the most powerful and amazing fixtures that we have had the chance to work with.”
Additional effects in the space were created by the Sharpys, which “formed the basis of complete light shows for the individual acts with their powerful, laser-like beams.”
